tree for twenty years
(Vimsottari dasa period) with
smoke blowing into him from a
fire lit beneath.

“O praise to the Three-Eyed
One, who increases prosperity,
who has a sweet fragrance,
who freesthe world from all
disease and death – liberate

severed from the vine. O Shiva,
grant me immortality!”
