धूलिलेखामहावर्तं स्वच्छपावकसंभवम् ।
परमाणुमयं भस्म यस्य ज्ञानजलं सितम् ॥ ६ ॥

dhūlilekhāmahāvartaṃ svacchapāvakasaṃbhavam |
paramāṇumayaṃ bhasma yasya jñānajalaṃ sitam || 6 ||

The god is besmeared with powdered ashes on his body, as emblematical of the particles of dust, to which the world was reduced by the flame of his all destructive conflagration; while the stream of water flowing from the Ganges on his head, is typical of the current of his clear knowledge of all things.
