salutations to Lord Shiva the protector of our journey..
journey in the day to day life as well as journey in this life of Karma, Jnana and bhakthi,
Whose crown tips on His forehead.. (or the crowns of those kings and gods who prostrate before him are tipped low on their foreheads),
By the shot of fire from whose third eye that wretch cupid with five arrows was burnt down..(meaning His Grace burns away the feelings of Lust and avarice)
Who with his potent trident smashed to dust the cities of myriads of the demons who opposed Him
who is the embodiment of purity (Shuddha Sattwam)
who has the crescent half moon shining in his matted hair
This is one of the five stanzas of Margabhandu Stotram. penned by Appayya Deekshita. in praise of the Lord of Lords, Shambu the Parameshwara ( no names and epithets are sufficient to identify the infinite being that He is)
