Shiva took his seat

Jai Sri Ram,
A divinely beautiful throne with the images of lions for its arms was placed on the altar,

Being a handiwork of the creator himself,

It beggared description,

Bowing his head to the Brahmanas and calling to his mind his own master, Shiva took his seat on the throne,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please
