ಶವಃ - Siva ಶಕಾಾ - with Sakti ಯುಕತಃ ಯದ ಭವತ - when enjoined ಶಕತಃ ಪರಭವತುಂ - empowered to create ನ ಚೇೀತ ಏವಂ ದೇೀವಃ - if the lord is not thus ನ ಖಲು ಕುಶಲಃ - indeed unable ಸಪಂದತುಂ ಅಪ - to even move ಅತಃ - hence ತಾಾಂ ಆರಾಧಾಯಂ - you, who is worshipped ಹರ ಹರ ವರಂಚಾದಭಃ ಅಪ - even by Hari (Vishnu), Hara (Siva), Virinchi (Brahma) and others ಪರಣಂತುಂ - to salute ಸೇೂತೀತುಂ ವಾ - or praise

ಕಥಂ - how

ಅಕೃತ ಪುಣಯಃ - one who has not performed meritorious deeds ಪರಭವತ - capable When Siva is enjoined with Sakti, he is empowered to create. If the lord is not thus, he is indeed unable to even move. Hence how can one who has not performed meritorious deeds be capable of saluting or praising you, who is worshipped even by Hari, Hara, Virinchi and others ? (Benedictory invocation to Siva and Sakti, beginning with the word Siva. Cf Sivanandalahari (SVL) Verse 1 : Benedictory invocation to Siva and Sakti, beginning with the letter ಕ, cryptically symbolising the word Siva.)

Shouri somehow carries this by a thousand heads. Hara having powdered this observes the injunction for sprinkling sacred ash. (The dust of Sakti's feet is the Universe. Cf SVL Verse 2 : Sivanandalahari washes away the dust of sin.)

For the dull witted it is the flowing stream of honey of the (Kalpaka flower) cluster of pure intelligence. For the impoverished it is the necklace of the Cintamani. For those immersed in the ocean of births, it is the tusks of the boar (Vishnu), the enemy of Mura. (Sakti is ಚೇೈತನಯಂ. Cf SVL Verse 3 : Siva is the resort of ಚತ)

(Sakti) ತವ - your ಹ - indeed ಚರಣೌ ಏವ - even feet ನಪುಣೌ - are expert Other than you, the assemblage of gods are the bestowers of protection from fear and boon by the hands (by empty gesture). You alone do not thus display bestowing of boon and protection from fear by gesture. Oh refuge of the worlds! indeed even your feet are expert in protecting from fear and giving reward in excess of that desired. (Assemblage of gods make empty promises. Cf SVL Verse 4 : Assemblage of gods bestow trivial boons).

ಪರಭವತ ಹ - capable indeed ಮೂೀಹಾಯ - (of generating) delusion

ಮಹತಾಂ - of great

Hari having worshipped you, the creator of auspiciousness to people who bow to you, having become a woman formerly, led even Puraripu to agitation. Having bowed to you, Smara too with a body which is (like) a lambative to the eyes of Rati, is indeed capable (of generating) delusion within great sages. (Celestials sought the grace of Sakti Cf SVL Verse 5 : Devotee seeks the grace of Siva)

Therefore, this relationship of the nature of Accessory - Principal exists being common to both, who are Parananda and Paraa equipoised.
