त्वत्पादाम्बुजमर्चयामि परमं त्वां चिन्तयाम्यन्वहं
त्वामीशं शरणं व्रजामि वचसा त्वामेव याचे विभो ।
वीक्षां मे दिश चाक्षुषीं सकरुणां देवैश्-चिरं प्रार्थितां
शम्भो लोकगुरो मदीयमनसः सौख्योपदेशं कुरु ॥
– शिवानन्दलहरी २९

tvat-pādāmbujam-arcayāmi paramaṃ tvāṃ cintayāmy-anvahaṃ
tvām-īśaṃ śaraṇaṃ vrajāmi vacasā tvām-eva yāce vibho ।
vīkṣāṃ me diśa cākṣuṣīṃ sakaruṇāṃ devaiś-ciraṃ prārthitāṃ
śambho lokaguro madīya-manasa: saukhyopadeśaṃ kuru ।।
– Śivānandalaharī 29

I worship in devotion the magnificent lotus feet of yours. My mind thinks day after day of you. You, the Lord, I betake to in refuge through prayers piously uttered; you alone I beg of in humility, O Vibhu. Grant me, O Sambhu, the sole teacher of the entire world, the benedictory glance of your eyes, the glance noted for its compassion, which is besought even by the denizens of the heaven. With your mind given to me, instruct me on the path leading to lasting contentment.
