Shiva Tāṇḍava Stotram - 10

akharva sarva maṇgala kalā kadamba mañjari
rasa pravāha mādhuri vijṛmbhaṇa madhu vratam | 
(Lord Shiva is) Perfect and Complete Auspiciousness, like a cluster of blooming Kadamba flowers
From which flows beautiful nectar, dispersing in the air to attract the nectar lovers (bees)

smarāntakaṃ purāntakaṃ bhavāntakaṃ makhāntakaṃ
gajāntākāndhakantakaṃ tamantakāntakaṃ bhaje || 10||
Who caused the end of the god of desire, and the three cities
And the end of worldly delusion and vain sacrificial activities
Who caused the end of the demons - Andhaka and elephant (Gajāsura)
And of god of death himself, to Him (Lord Shiva), in reverence I bend
