like NARADA, SUKA and SANAKA attend you. You are comprehensible only to fortunate.

lips are red like a bimba fruit, Dweller of the KAILASAGIRI, oh great
god!
Dispenser of desired boons. One who has powerful arms, you are capable
of wielding mountain MERU like a bow. You are the redeemer, who helps
to cross the fearful ocean of existence. Destroyer of the demons who
cause hardship to the celestials, your head is adorned with crescent
moon. Like the sun removes the darkness you remove the miseries of those
who worship you. Your abode is pleasant. You have the sacred bull as
your mount. friend of KUBERA! Lord SANKARA! Always protect me.
