And man aspire to the Eternal’s light… — Sri Aurobindo
नमो नेदिष्ठाय प्रियदव दविष्ठाय च नमो
नमः क्षोदिष्ठाय स्मरहर महिष्ठाय च नमः।
नमो वर्षिष्ठाय त्रिनयन यविष्ठाय च नमो
नमः सर्वस्मै ते तदिदमतिसर्वाय च नमः ॥२९॥
I bow to thee time and again the Destroyer of worldly pleasure, who is the nearest and at the same time the farthest. I bow to thee time and again 0 the Destroyer of desires, who is the smallest and at the same time the largest. I bow to thee time and again O Triple-eyed, who is the oldest and the same time the youngest. I bow to thee time and again the All and at the same time beyond all this here.
Sivamahimnastotram 29
