Salutations to Lord Pashupati, the lord of all beings. Salutations to the Lord of spirits, Rudra, the fierce form of Lord Shiva. O wielder of the fierce sword, roam freely. Move swiftly and dance. O one who is smeared with ash from the cremation ground, adorned with garlands of skulls and bells, wearing a tiger skin, and crowned with the crescent moon. You, who wear a black serpent as your sacred thread, move, sway, and go forth. O invincible one, destroy the demons, strike fear into them, and in the center of the circle, strike with the Rudra goad. Enter the moment, fill the moment. The lord of the sharp-edged sword, Rudra, commands: Swaha!

Cmmitment to responsibilites

Stability and respect come only through commitment to one's duties, while the absence of dedication leads to instability and a lack of foundation for a family or society. A truly dedicated person can uphold and protect their dharma, while others who lack such dedication cannot achieve this. Dedication is thus essential for success and the fulfillment of responsibilities.
