(Based on C. P. Brown’s Translations in English Prose)
A. Satyavathi
To the poets of Siva,
to the nine poets,
to the creed of Siva,
to the wisdom divine,
to the boon granting gem
to those foremost
in the world of Siva,
To Siva Himself
and the Guru,
pray for aid, O, Vema!
The Unborn One,
the Slayer of Sharabha,
the One of the nature of Siva
and the Lord of a
thousand million of demigods,
the servant of Siva
seated at the root
of the Banyan tree,
the one full of bliss of Siva,
He, Somasekhara, is my Guru.
The one who learns these poems
uttered by Vema,
will attain to that state
which the mind cannot comprehend.
