Meaning:
On your locks are the river Ganga and the moon. On your your feet
and arms are the cold serpents. On your left is the compassionate daughter
of the snow
mountains and you have applied the cool sandal all over your body.
How, O Lord of the Golden Cosmic Hall, are you able to bear such
cold atmosphere? You are welcome to stay eternally in my heart which is
hot due to the sins I
commit.
