कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम् ।सदा बसन्तं हृदयारबिन्दे भबं भवानीसहितं नमामि ॥
Karpur gauram karunaavtaaram sansaar saaram bhujagendrahaaram lSadaa vasantam hridyaarvinde bhavam bhavaani sahitam namaami ll
I bow to that camphor-hued, white complexioned Lord Shiva, who is Incarnation of compassion, who is the very essence of consciousness, of life; who wears snakes as garlands, whose eternal abode is in the heart of the devotee, I bow to Him and His consort Bhavani.
* This is a part of the Mantra Pushpanjaali (an offering of flowers through mantra) sang at the end of Aarti. It has also become common practice to offer Kapur Aarti whilst chanting. 
** Karpur/Kapur is camphor. It is made into tablets which are burnt leaving no trace. It is symbolic of us leaving no trace after death and offering ourselves in totality to the Lord.
