महा शिवरात्रि पर्व के अवसर पर भगवान श्री शङ्कर की स्तुति |

यस्याङ्के च विभाति भूधरसुता  देवापगा मस्तके
भाले  बालविधुर्गले  च  गरलं यस्योरसि व्यालराट्  |
सोSयं  भूतिविभूषणः सुरवरः  सर्वाधिपः  सर्वदा
शर्वः सर्वगतः शिवः शशिनिभः श्रीशङ्करः पातु माम् || -तुससीकृत रामायण

ललाट पर द्वितीया का चन्द्रमा , कण्ठ में हलाहल  विष , और वक्षःस्थल
पर सर्पराज शेषजी सुशोभित हैं , वे भस्म से विभूषित , देवताओं में श्रेष्ठ ,
