This may be translated thus : — 
(10) Hearing bis (her) -words, Rudra spoke as follows : (11) I am 
Siva, ok large-eyed-one ! Thou shalt be called S’iva aftex- my name; 
and thou shalt be the cause of KAmadeva’s destruction and Daksha’s 
death. (12) Those men that shall worship and extol thee, to them thou 
shalt grant gifts, as well as to them that .... (13) Those mortals 
that show their faith and devotion to thee by offering of sacrifices and 
incense, by flowers, lights and anointings, to them thou shalt be the 
bestower of their woi’ldly desires. (14) I will announce to thee, oh 
Siva, all the secret things concerning thee ! 13y whomsoever’ thou ai’t 
called upon, to him thou shalt come and bestow on him gifts. (15) 
Even if thou art at a distance of a thousand yojanas, yet thou shalt 
hear and go to him. Om ! Thou art victoi’ious, conquei'ing, triumphant, 
unerring, unsurpassable, swift, brilliant as gold, crushing, destroying 
(thy) enemies, (16) thousand -rayed (like the sun), good, spouse of 
the Puiigava (bull-like man), holy, illusoi’y, ci’eating illusions, ever-new, 
shell-necked, red-mouthed, (17) oystei’-sliell-eared, a great Naga, in- 
vincible, unsurpassable, strong-eai’ed, fiei’y- toothed, a Vetadi (goblin), 
set up by the Vedas, (18) spouse of him with the long liiiga, a l’oarei’, 
ravisher of new-born babes, transfixer, conquei’oi’, eni’icher, with sword- 
like hair and wolf-like belly, (19) Dhalandhald (?), mistress of serpents, 
long-tongued, large-throated, turuki (swift ?), tarudi (young ?), baluki 
(strong ?) as well as lucky, wild, jackal-like, awe-inspiring, of fearful 
aspect. 
I add the Roman transliteration of the revei’se page. It is still 
more worn, and still more difficult to read : — ■

1° The text actually reads sakti-damshtr^gni-Tcarn-iigni-damshtrdld, with a 
stroke of cancellation drawn through the first damshtr&gni. For foTcti probably sulcti 
should be read, though the epithet iukti-karnt is already mentioned in the preceding 
hemistich. 
11 The interpunctuation is here indicated by two dots placed one above the 
other, like the visarga (:), instead of the single dot used everywhere else.
