This prayer asks God for several capabilities. The manthraksharas Iym and Kleem are used to worship Shiva. Devotees interested in any one wish can repeat that Stanza.

Of Vedas, Science, Puranas,

Oh Shiva, Iym salutations, Kleem.

And sixty four type of arts,

Oh Shiva, Iym salutations, Kleem.

Especially in the science of phonetics,

Oh God who is the greatest,

Be pleased to live in the lotus of my mind,
And forever destroy all my sufferings,
Oh Shiva, Iym salutations, Kleem.

Jahi janthushu nindam cha, Iym Nama Kleem shivaya sou. 7

Please destroy all my sins, Oh Shiva,
Which have been done in various births,
Which makes my brain dull,
And also remove the disrespect of other beings towards me,
Oh Shiva, Iym salutations, Kleem.

Vishayeshu viraktheem cha vivideshu videhi mey,
Vinatheshtadha viswesa, Iym Nama Kleem shivaya sou. 8

To all things that attract,

Who wears the crescent of moon as ornament,
Make my mind lean,
Towards the path of salvation,
Oh Shiva, Iym salutations, Kleem.

Ithyethad navakam nithyam bhakthitho ya paden nara,
Prarambhasmasya sidhyanthi, prarthhithanchapi sidhyathi.10

He who recites these nine stanzas,
Daily with devotion,
Will complete all works he starts,
And would get all his desires fulfilled.
