Taniyamsam pamsum tava carana-pankeruha-bhavam Virincih sanchinvan virachayati lokan avikalam; Vahaty evam Shaurih katham api sahasrena shirasaam Harah samksudy'ainam bhajati bhajati bhasito'ddhalama-vidhim. Lord Brahma ,the creator of yore, Selects a dust from your feet, And creates he this world, The great Adisesha* with his thousand heads, Some how carries a dust of your feet, With effort great, And the great Lord Rudra, Takes it and powders it nice, And uses it as the holy ash.
