Taniyamsam pamsum tava charana-pankeruha-bhavam
Virinchih sanchinvan virachayati lokan avikalam |
Vahatyenam Shaurih katham api sahasrena shirasaam
Harah samkshudhyainam bhajati bhasito-ddhoolana-vidhim ||
తనీయాంసం పాంసుం తవ చరణ పంకేరుహ భవం
విరించిః సంచిన్వన్ విరచయతి లోకానవికలమ్
వహత్యేనం శౌరిః కథమపి సహస్రేణ శిరసాం
హరః సక్షుద్యైనం భజతి భసితోద్ధూళనవిధిమ్
Meaning:
Gathering a speck of dust from your lotus feet, the creator Lord Brahma brings the Universe into existence without any imperfection
The sustainer Lord Vishnu somehow supports this universe as Adisesha with his thousand hoods. And Lord Shiva, the destroyer, crushes this dust into powder and rubs it as holy ash(bhasma) all over his body(at the time of dissolution).
