Shivashtakam

Prabhum praana naatham, vibhum vishva naatham

jagan naatha naatham, sadaa nanda bhaajam
bhavad bhavya bhutaeshvaram bhutha naatham
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Gale runda maalam, thanau sarpa jaalam
mahaa kaala kaalam, ganeshaa di paalam
jataa joota gango, tharan gai vishishyam
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Mudhaa maakaram mandhanam mandhayantam
mahaa mandalam bashma bhushaa dharamtham
anaadhim hya paaram mahaa moha maaram
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Thataadho nivaasam mahadtta atthaasam
mahaa paapa naasam, sadha suprakaasham
girisham ganesham suresham mahesham
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Girindraath majaa sangru hitaardha deham
girau samsthitham sarvadha sannigeham
para bramha bram haadhibhir vandya maanam
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Kapaalam trishoolam karaabhyaam dadhaanam
padhaam bhojanam raaya kaamam dadhaanam
bali var dayaanam suraanam pradhaanam
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Sarath chandra gaathram ganaa nanda paathram
trinethram pavithram dhane shasya mithram
aparna kalathram sadaa sath charithram
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Haram sarpa haaram jithaa bhuviharam
bhavam veda saaram sadaa nirvikaaram
smashaane vasantham manojam dahantham
shivam shankaram, shambhu meeshana meede

Swayam yah prabhaathe narah shoola paaneh
pathe sthoththra rathnam viha praapya rathnam
suputhram sujaanam sumithram kalaththram
vichithrai samaaraathya moksham prayaathi
