मालविकाग्निमित्र - शिव

एकैश्वर्ये स्थितोऽपि प्रणतबहुफले यः स्वयं कृत्तिवासाः
    कान्तासंमिश्रदेहोऽप्यविषयमनसां यःपरस्ताद्यतीनां ।
अष्टाभिर्यस्य कृत्स्नं जगदपि तनुभिर्भिभ्रतो नाभिमानः
    सन्मार्गलोकनाय व्यपनयतु स वस्तामसीं वृत्तिमीशः ॥

Let Lord Shiva lead our mind towards the right path of salvation by destroying the darkness with in. He is capable of bestowing any amount of wealth on any one who comes begging. But he himself dresses in animal hide. He is sharing half his body with his wife. Yet he is not interested in worldly pleasures; thereby he is the best among all saints (mendicants). He is protecting the entire world with eight of his forces. Yet he is not proud of the same.
