I worship the Five-faced One, who has Bhavani (the Mother of the universe) for His wife, the Lord of the mountains, the Lord of the troop of demigods known as Ganas, with a blue spot on the throat, riding on a bull, whose nature is beyond qualities, the Prime Cause of things, the Resplendent One, whose body is adorned wtih ashes.

I pray parents of the world, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi, who are inseparable as speech and its meaning to gain knowledge of speech and its meaning. ...... In this sloka (verse), Kalidasa requests divine parents Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi to teach him speech and its meaning.
