Glory to Shiva, the embodiment of Om! The creator Brahma, the preserver Vishnu, and the destroyer Shiva, alongside His half-consort. In the form of Om, He has decorated/sustained the three worlds. Whether He appears with one, four, or five faces, or seated upon a swan or an elephant, He shines in His magnificent glory.
