TRANSLATION
Eternal and full of happiness, that abode is absolutely real. It can be attained by the best of Lord Śiva’s servants. There Lord Śiva, served by the most excellent regalia, reveals himself in his full splendor, surrounded by companions who share opulence and beauty equal to his. As his personal Deity he worships Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa, nondifferent from himself. What amazing wonders does Lord Śiva in this manifestation not display?
