न मे मृत्युशङ्ग्का न मे जातिभेदः
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्म ।
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरुर्नैव शिष्यः
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥ ५ ॥
na mE mrityushangkA na mE jAtibhEdaH
pitA naiva mE naiva mAtA na janma.
na bandhurna mitraM gururnaiva shiShyaH
chidAnandarUpaH shivo'ham shivo'ham. 5
I have neither death nor its fear, neither caste nor its distinctions,
nor have I father or mother, or any birth.
I have neither relations nor friends, neither guru nor disciple.
In the form of blissful consciousness, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
