This stotra glorifies the leelas of lord Shiva, protecting his
afflicted devotees, in such a way lines pregnant with some stories.
It has many stories ie. Shiva took poison to protect the world,
giving milk ocean to Upamanyu, protecting Markandeya,
giving the disk weapon to Vishnu who dedicated his lotus eyes and so on.
