"I bow to Lord Shiva whose Lotus feet are rubbed by the foreheads of the Lotus-born (Brahma) and Krisha, to Him, a mere recollection of whose name is a source of fortune and end of misfortune for gods, demons, and men. (Ganitapada, Aryabhatiyabhashya) I bow to Shambhu, who is the cause of creation and destruction of the universe, (the different parts of ) whose body are the Sun etc., and who is as effulgent as tens of thousands of suns. (Ganitapada, Aryabhatiyabhashya). I bow to God Shiva, the support of the three worlds, who though inconceivable by nature, being mercy incarnate, assumedthe eight forms, viz. The Sun, the Moon, the Ether, Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and the Sacrificer, for the good of the entire world. (Kalakriyapada, Aryabhatiyabhashya)I bow to God Shambhu who bears on His forehead a digit of the moon illumining all directions by its rays, to Him whose feet are adored by the gods and who is a source of all knowledge. (Mahabhaskariya, opening verse)"
