Plea for refuge: The devotee takes refuge at the feet of Lord Shiva to get rid of his ignorance, defects, and sufferings.
Form of Shiva: The Stuti mentions various forms of Shiva such as Trinetradhari, destroyer of Daksha Yagna, Kailashavasini, and Mahadeva.
Prayers and Boons: The devotee asks Shiva for spiritual purity, eternal life, health, and devotion to His divine qualities.
