Glory and Grandeur of Shiva

Sanskrit Transliteration:
asita giri-samam syat kajjalam sindhu-patre
sura-taruvara-shakha lekhani patram urvi | 
likhati yadi grhitva sharada sarva-kalam
tat api tava gunanam isha param na yati || 

                              - from shiva-mahimna stotram by Pushpadantam

Per chance if words vie mounts high,
Ink flows in like Sindhu River,
Writing pen’s made of choicest tree,
Whole Earth be a writing paper, 

Goddess of Learning were to write
For an endless long time,
E’en then O Lord of cosmic might,
It’s hard, prowess of thine to prime.
