यो धत्ते भुवनानि सप्त गुणवान् स्रष्टा रजःसंश्रयः संहर्ता तमसान्वितो गुणवतीं मायामतीत्य स्थितः । सत्यानन्दमनन्तबोधममलं ब्रह्मादिसंज्ञास्पदं नित्यं सत्त्वसमन्वयादधिगतं पूर्णं शिवं धीमहि ॥

Translation
May we meditate upon that Shiva - who, resorting to rajas, as creator possessed of qualities bears the seven worlds; who, possessed of tamas, as destroyer brings dissolution; and who, having passed beyond the qualified Maya, stands established in his own nature - who is of the nature of true bliss, infinite awareness, stainless, the ground of the names beginning with Brahma, ever attained only through union with sattva, the full one.
Deep Meaning
We meditate upon that complete Shiva, who takes up Rajas to create the universe, who with Sattva sustains and nourishes the seven worlds, who with Tamas brings about dissolution, and who, having passed beyond the Maya of the three qualities, abides in his own pure nature. He is of the nature of true bliss, infinite awareness and stainless purity, the Brahman. In creation he bears the name Brahma, in preservation Vishnu, and in dissolution Rudra, and he is attained only through a steady sattvic disposition.
