Oṃ. Salutation to Sadāśiva, the ever-auspicious, together with the Mother.
Sāmba is sa-Ambā, “with Ambā”: the mantra never salutes Śiva alone, but always Śiva and Pārvatī together.
The Gita Press edition of the Śiva Purāṇa prints “śrī-sāmba-sadāśivāya namaḥ” at the head of each Saṃhitā; the mantra is especially loved in the south.
