trayāṇāṃ devānāṃ triguṇajanitānāṃ tava śive
bhavet pūjā pūjā tava caraṇayoryā viracitā
tathā hi tvatpādodvahanamaṇipīṭhasya nikaṭe

O auspicious one
Puja performed
to your feet
as good as puja
of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva
the three gods created
by your three aspects
No wonder they stand
in wait forever, near
the gem-studded stool
that supports your feet
hands folded like buds
above their diadems
Everything in nature is made of three aspects or guṇas – sattva, rajas and tamas – which originate from Śakti.
