Prostrations to the divine couple shrI shivA and Lord shiva, who
protect and govern the jIva-s, whose hearts are bound to protect the
three worlds (sthUla, sUxma, and kAraNa), who are worshipped by all
deva-s and asura-s, to that shiva parvati I bow again and again.


-Probably the term "jagatrayiiraxaNa baddhahR^idbhyaam.h" can be
interpreted as: they protect the three bodies (at microcosmic level) by
being established/bound in the heart of jIva-s. Or taking hR^ita as
"devoid of" , one can say that, they protect the three worlds and at
the same time are devoid of any bonds. (any suggestions and corrections
are welcome, I apologize for any errors).

This is phala shruti. It states: Whoever reads these 12 verses on
shiva-parvatii with devotion thrice a day (morning, noon, and
evening), (s)he will attain all auspicious things to enjoy here for 100
years and at emancipation attain the shiva loka.

Once swami paramaarthaananda said this,
“This guy is asking for shataayur. So even when he is 100 he would chant the
shloka and ask for another 100. This could be a continuous process. If
paramaatma is not going to grant that the shloka is a myth. It’s impossible
to live forever. So what does this shataayuH mean ? . It means, O! Lord give
me a long life, with in that span let me know what is to be known that would
lead from mR^ityu to amR^ita. In that way it means an eternal life. In short
the prArtana is for AuShprApti dvArA Atama vichArAnukUla prApti, Atma
vichArAt GYAna prApti, GYAnAt amR^ita prApti.”

Thanks to Ravi or his wonderful presentation.
