रुद्राणां शङ्करश्चास्मि वित्तेशो यक्षरक्षसाम्। वसूनां पावकश्चास्मि मेरुः शिखरिणामहम्

rudrāṇāṁ śhaṅkaraśh chāsmi vitteśho yakṣha-rakṣhasām vasūnāṁ pāvakaśh chāsmi meruḥ śhikhariṇām aham

Among forces of vitality, I am the life; I am Mammon to the heathens and the godless; I am the energy in fire, earth, wind, sky, heaven, sun, moon, and planets; and among mountains, I am Mount Meru.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

And among the Rudras, I am Sankara; among the Yakshas and Rakshasas, the Lord of Wealth (Kubera); among the Vasus, I am Pavaka (Fire); and among the seven mountains, I am Meru.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
