Morning prayer to Ardha Nareeswara
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Lord Shiva has given half his body to his consort Goddess Parvathi. This form of God has half of its bode as Shiva and the other half Goddess Parvathy.
Ambho dhara syamala kundalayai, Tadith prabha thamra jada daraya, Nireeswarayai, nikhileswaraya, Nama sivayai cha Nama shivaya
Salutations to the consort of Shiva,
And salutations to the Lord Shiva,
To her who has long shining black hair,
To Him who has thick,woven copper coloured tuft,
To her who is beyond all Gods,
And to Him who is the God of all universe.
