Meaning of the Prayer Mantra:

 He is known as the Supreme Ruler  and Destroyer 
of the terrestrial as well as heavenly lives!
We bow down for protection. Oh Lord Rudra!
Please come to our doors and make our family
free from illness!

 Notes: 

1. kShamyasya - terrestrial; avan - protect; duraH - door; 
anamIvO - free from disease; jAsu - family.

2. Lord Rudra is both the reason for our existence 
as well as the ultimate Destroyer. God creates
the worlds for us to flow through and mature.
As the Supreme ruler of the system, He revamps
the system as well making us rest from the cycle.
The Lord Shiva is such omnipotent ruler for both
the earth as well as the heavens.

3. Lord Rudra is the ultimate Healer. Let us seek that
God's protection. May the God keep our family free from disease!
