Shiva Mahimna - Stotra 4

तवैश्वर्यं यत्तज्जगदुदयरक्षाप्रलयकृत्
त्रयीवस्तु व्यस्तं तिस्रुषु गुणभिन्नासु तनुषु।
अभव्यानामस्मिन्वरद रमणीयामरमणीं
विहन्तुं व्याक्रोशीं विदधत इहैके जडधियः॥ ४॥

tavaiśvaryaṁ yattajjagadudayarakṣāpralayakṛt
trayīvastu vyastaṁ tisruṣu guṇabhinnāsu tanuṣu |
abhavyānāmasmin varada ramaṇīyāmaramaṇīṁ
vihantuṁ vyākrośīṁ vidadhata ihaike jaḍadhiyaḥ || 4||


O Giver of boons! Some stupid people produce arguments — pleasing to the ignorant but in fact hateful — to refute Your Divinity, which creates, preserves and destroys the world, which is divided into three bodies (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) according to the three gunas, and which is described in the three Vedas. (4)
