The first verse of the Shivananda Lahari is as follows:[5]
Kala'bhyāṁ cuḍā'lankṛta-śaśikalābhyāṁ nijatapaḥ-
phalabhyam bhakteṣu prakaṭita-phalabhyam bhavatu me
śivābhyām astoka-tribhuvana-śivābhyam hṛdi punar-
bhavābhyām ānanda sphurad-anubhavābhyāṁ natiriyam I make prostration to Shiva and Parvati, who form the embodiment of all arts (fine and practical), whose matted crests are adorned with the crescent moon, who are to each other the mutual rewards obtained by their respective austerities, who bestow on aspirants liberation and other fruits of devotional life, who are the source of abounding good to the three worlds, who reveal themselves in forms of ever-renewing novelty with the progress of meditation, and whose experience generates supreme bliss in a mind contemplating on them.— Verse 1
