(Mahakala is the
creator of all beings
and the Universe.
He rests in the
subtle hearts of
the deeply mediating
seers. He is decorated
with Somalekha,
Kapala (skull) and
the mahi-valaya
(girdle of serpent).
His glory has been
sung by the resident
of Avantika throughout
the ages. The people
at large surrender
Him all their virtues
and vices in order
to attain the deliverance.)
