| I worship Nilakantha, the blue-throated Siva, the peacock (also blue-throated) that excels by His beautiful dance, having the time of dusk as the close of summer (i.e, the beginning of rainy season when peacocks dance), the sound of drum beaten by Visnu's hand as thunder peals, the eyes of the celestials as lightning, the blissful tears of devotees as rain, and the Divine Mother Parvati as the peahen. |
