When will I see you, who is praised by Gods like Brahma, who is with Rishis

uttering â€œJaya Jaya â€œ, who is with playing Gnanas and who is seated on hump

of a fat bull, who has blue neck and three eyes, who is embraced by Uma and

who holds deer hatchet in the hand.

*Commentary*

Aum

It is impossible to describe the gaambeeryam and vaibhavam of Parameswara

who stays in close company of Uma in Kailaash. Indra, Brahma and Vishnu on

the one side, are singing hyms of praise of Parameswara. On the other side

are the Brahmanishtaas who are great thapasvis shouting in ecstacy at the

great sight of the auspicious Lord, slogans of victories such as Jai to

Parameswara! Jai to Neelagreeva! Jai Jai Jai to SaraNaagathavathsala! Siva

ganas such as Nandikeswara, Chandikeswara and Bringi are singing and dancing

ecstatically.

Hey! Parameswara! How can I describe your limitless Mahima! How else can one

get your dharsana if not for his sukrutham in millions of birth? Hey!

Parameswara! When am I going to see the dhivya dharisanam of you sitting

with Uma on the stout Vrishabha with the vedic deer on the one hand and the

brilliant plough on the other with your long blue neck and benign face of

kaarunyam?

In saying â€œneelagreevam thriNayanam Umaslishtavapusham karadhrithamrugam

khandaparasumâ€ in this sloka of Sivaanandalahari, AachaaryaaL makes five

different swaroopa varNanai of Shiva. Let us narrate and enjoy these here

one by one.
