Meaning:
O Lord Sai Shiva, Thou art The Beloved Divine Lord of Mother Girija and Thou Holds The Holy River – Ganga in Thy Matted Locks. O Lord of Lords, Thou art The Ever-Victorious Immortal ONE, Who is The Conqueror of Death. O Lord, Thy Divine Lotus Feet are Most Auspicious to all. Thou Rides on Thy Divine Vehicle – Nandi The Bull and art Adorned with serpents around Thy Neck. Thou art The Unmatchable Abode of Virtues. O Lord Sai Shiva, Thou Dances Enchantingly Thy Divine Cosmic Dance – The Tandava. Thou Holds the deadly poison in Thy Throat. When the poison came out during The Churning of The Ocean or ‘The Sagar Manthan’ it was so dreadful, that it would have destroyed the entire world, but Thou drank it all and stored it in Thy Throat, inorder to save the world. Since Thou has the poison in Thy Throat, it looks blue and so Thou art called – Neela Kantha or the ONE Who holds the deadly poison. O Most Beloved Divine Lord Sai Shiva, Thy Beautiful Eyes are like The Petals of a Lotus.
