चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्॥

Meaning of Verse 1:
I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or the faculty of thought. I am not the senses of hearing, taste, smell, or sight. I am not the elements of space, earth, fire, air, or water. I am the embodiment of pure consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

Verse 2:
