Oh! Rudra deva! My salutations to your anger and also to your arrows. My salutations to your bow and to your hands. Oh! Rudra! By the favuor of your arrow, bow, and quiver, which have shed their anger and turned auspicious, please render us happiness.   Lord Rudra, you who dwell on Mount Kailas and who confer happiness, by that form of yours which is not terrible, which will not injure us, and which is highly auspicious, behold and illuminate us. My Lord who dwells on Mount Kailas and confers gladness to all! You, who fulfills your vow of protecting all who serve you and take refuge in you; that arrow of yours which you hold ready to let fly, withhold it and make it tranquil and auspicious. Lord of Mount Kailash of the Vedas! we pray to attain you by our auspicious words. We ask that for all our days, this entire world will be free from ills and discord, and that we may live in amity and concord. Let him intercede on my behalf and speak in my favor, even Rudra, that foremost one, held high in honor by the gods, the physician. Let him annihilate the enemies of mine like scorpions, snakes, and tigers, and the unseen enemies like the raakshasas, spirits and demons.  

This Sun who is copper-red when he arises, then golden-yellow, this highly auspicious and beneficent one is truly Rudra. These other Rudras who are quartered round about in all directions of this earth, may I ward off their anger by my praise. The black-throated Rudra who has assumed the form of the sun that glows red when rising. Him the cowherds, the women carrying water, and all the creatures behold. He, who is seen by all, let him send happiness to us.

Let my salutations be to the blue-throated one, who has a thousand eyes. I also bow to his followers. Bhagavan Rudra, loosen the string from both ends of your bow. Remove out of sight the arrows from your hands.

 

You having a thousand eyes, and bearing a hundred quivers, after loosening your bow, kindly blunt the edges of your shafts. Assume your peaceful and auspicious shiva form and become well-intentioned towards us. Let the bow of Kapardin, Rudra of the matted locks, be without its string. Let there be no arrows in his quiver. Let his arrows lose their capacity to strike and pierce. Let his sword cover contain little power.

You, showerer of blessings, with your weapons and the bow in your hand, protect us completely. Let there be salutations to your sturdy and potent weapons, and also to both your hands and your bow. Let the arrow of your bow spare us in all ways. And place your quiver of arrows far away from us.

Let my salutations be to that great God who is the Lord of the universe; the great God who has three eyes and who destroys Tripura, the three demons cities. To that God who is the time (kaala) when the three sacred fires are lit; who is Rudra the fire that consumes the universe; whose throat is blue; who has conquered death; the Lord of all; the ever auspicious one. Salutations to that glorious and great God.

Salutations to Lord Rudra with the golden arms, the leader of hosts, to the Lord of the four directions. Salutations to the trees tufted with green leaves; to the Lord of the cattle. Salutations to him who is light yellow-red tinged and radiant; to the Lord of the pathways. Salutations to him who rides on the bull, to him who has the power to pierce all things, to the Lord of food. Salutations to him who is always black-haired, who wears the yajnopavita; to him the Lord of the sleek. Salutations to him, the instrument that destroys Ignorance; to the Lord of all the worlds. Salutations to him who protects the world by the might of his drawn bow, to Rudra the destroyer of all miseries; to the Lord of the fields and sacred places.

Salutations to the charioteer, he who cannot be overcome and slain. Salutations to the Lord of the forests. Salutations to the counselor of assemblies, the chief of traders, to the Lord of dense impenetrable clumps and clusters of thickets. Salutations to him who has created the world and spread it broad, the creator of riches and lover of those who are devoted to him; to the Lord of all vegetation. Salutations to him of the fearsome war cry, who causes his enemies to weep. To the leader of the foot-soldiers. Salutations to him who surrounds his enemies completely, and cuts off their retreat by running swiftly after the retreating stragglers; to the protector of the good who have taken refuge under him.  Salutations to him who cannot only withstand the shock of the onset of his enemies, but also overpower them, who can effortlessly pierce his enemies; the Lord of those who can fight on all sides, to him who stands prominent, the wielder of the sword; to the prince of thieves. Salutations to him who holds a dart in his hand to fit in his bow, who has a quiver on his back; to the Lord of those who steals openly, to him who worming himself into the confidence of others cheats them occasionally and he who cheats them systematically; to him pretending to be an acquaintance steals and misappropriates articles. Salutations to him who moves about guardedly ever with intention to steal; to him who moves amidst crowds and thronged places for pick-pocketing; to the Lord of forest thieves.

Salutations to him who is in the form of those who protect themselves in armor, who want to kill others; to the Lord of those who want to steal crops and wealth.
Salutations to him who is in the form of swordsmen who wander about at night; to the Lord of those who kill and seize others possessions. Salutations to him who wears a turban, who wanders about the mountains; to the leader of the landlords. Salutations to you who bear darts, who carry bows. Salutations to you who string your bows and you who fit arrows in them.

Salutations to you who pull the bow strings and let fly the shafts. Salutations to you who loosen the arrows and pierce the persons you aim at. Salutations to you Rudras who are seated and who are reclining. To you Rudras who are in the form of those who are asleep and awake. To you Rudras who are in the form of those who stand and those who run. To you Rudras who are in the form of those who sit as members of assemblies and those who preside over them. To you Rudras who are in the form of horses and those who command them.

Salutations to him who cannot only withstand the shock of the onset of his enemies, but overpower them. He who can effortlessly pierce his enemies; the Lord of those who can fight on all sides. Salutations to him who stands prominent, the wielder of the sword; to the prince of thieves. Salutations to him who holds a dart in his hand to fit in his bow, who has a quiver on his back; to the Lord of those who steals openly.

Salutations to him who worming himself into the confidence of others cheats them occasionally, and he who cheats them systematically; to him pretending to be an acquaintance steals and misappropriates articles. Salutations to him who moves about guardedly ever with intention to steal; to him who moves amidst crowds and thronged places for pick-pocketing; to the Lord of forest thieves. Salutations to him who is in the form of those who protect themselves in armor, who want to kill others; to the Lord of those who want to steal crops and wealth. Salutations to him who is in the form of swordsmen who wander about at night; to the Lord of those who kill and seize others possessions.
