1. Prenatal Phase
Life begins in the embryonic stage
Includes congenital defects in cage
Difficulty in birth is many fold
Complications are many to unfold
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
2. Fetal phase
Swimming in one's own excreta
Bondage begins with the placenta
Karma is the reason to trace back
Which determines what one lack
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
3.Infancy
Addicted to the breast milk
I cried all day with colic
I could not move around freely
Fear and insecurity grew easily
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
4. Childhood
I had no say over my limbs
Was always dependent on things
Primary care givers were scary
Created emotions that made weary
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you5
5. Youth
Feeling proud and arrogant
With great sense of entitlement
Was bitten by snakes of longing
And personified them as belonging
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
6. Adulthood
Desires kept sprouting making dizzy
Exhausted in the process of being busy
Discrimination was bitten due to this addiction
Created a sense of dependency and affliction
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
7. Midlife crisis
The catch and kill mentality continued
Weakened body, devoid of dancing dreadlocks
Misery of wants and insecurity continued
Miserly adulthood wasted without a direction
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
8. Old age
With age sense organs lose potency
The organs of action fail slowly
The diseases appear with bereavement
The loneliness malingers with delusions
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
9. Omissions and commissions
Never did I do proper worship
Never did I do proper rituals
Never did I do Sravanam
Never did I do Dyanam
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
10. Omissions and commissions
Never did I chant sacred hymns
Never did I do Yoga and pranayama
The list of omissions and commissions
Are extending beyond my cognition
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
11.Omissions and commissions
Never did I visualized You
Never did I absorb in You
Never did I praise the one who is free of triguna
Never did I worship the one who is free of papa and punya
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
12.Lack of clarity in pursuit
I was always nurturing likes and dislikes
I was pursuing Yoga and Kshema
Never listened to the promise of Gita
Kept wandering here and there forever
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
13. Fleeting nature of Universe
No use with gaining wealth
No purpose with progeny and family
Nothing is permanent including time and space
Fickle as the ripples in the water
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
15. The self-effulgent Siva
Life is momentary like a streak of lightning
I salute the self-effulgent consort of Uma
The one whose eyes are sun, moon and fire
The one who is covered with ashes
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
16. Sixteen verses of Prayer of Atonement
Sixteen represents completeness
Sixteen step Puja invokes Isvara
Sixteen verses of this prayer
I surrender at your feet for atonement
Oh Siva! Oh, the auspicious Lord of lords!
My omissions and commissions be forgiven by you
