Translation

O immortal Śiva, please be kind towards me and fulfill my desire. You have accepted me as half of your body; therefore please show kindness towards me and accept my request.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Please grand my desire, O lord! Since you are merciful you should do this. Being full of knowledge, you have accepted my as half of your body. Therefore, being requested, please oblige me. If you do not want to go, still, because of my request, please accept. You are a deva (amartya), and can do what is not normally done. Though you are full of knowledge, and are self-satisfied (adabhra-cakṣuṣā), you have accepted me as half of your body. Śiva is famous as having half his body in the form of a woman. Since you have done that, be merciful to me (mā).
