Veda Sara Shiva sthavam
English Translated by P.R.Ramachander
Pasunam pathim papa nasam paresam,
Gajendrasya kruthimvasanam varenyam,
Jada jutamadhye sphurad Ganagavarim ,
Mahadevamekam smarami smararim. 1
पशूनां पतिं पापनाशं परेशं
गजेन्द्रस्य कृत्तिं वसानं वरेण्यम।
जटाजूटमध्ये स्फुरद्गाङ्गवारिं
महादेवमेकं स्मरामि स्मरारिम।1।
I meditate only on that great God,
Who is the lord of all beings,
Who is the destroyer of sins,
Who is the lord of heaven,
Who wears the hide of the king of elephants,
And who keeps river ‘Ganga’ in the middle of his hair.
Mahesam, suresam, surarathinasam,
Vibhum, Viswanaham,Vibhuthyanga bhoosham,
Virupaksha mindwarka vahnithra nethram,
Sadananda meede Prabhu pancha vakthram. 2
महेशं सुरेशं सुरारातिनाशं
विभुं विश्वनाथं विभूत्यङ्गभूषम्।
विरूपाक्षमिन्द्वर्कवह्नित्रिनेत्रं
सदानन्दमीडे प्रभुं पञ्चवक्त्रम्।2।
I pray that Lord of lords with faces five,
Who is the greatest God,
Who is the God of devas,
Who is the enemy of Asuras,
Who is scholar of philosophy,
Who is the lord of the universe,
Who anoints himself totally with ash,
And who has sun, moon and fire as eyes.
Shivaakantha Shambho, sasangardha moule,
Mahesanasulin Jatajutadharin,
Thwameka jagadvyapako Viswaroopa,
Praseeda, Praseeda Prabho poorna Roopa. 3
शिवाकान्त शंभो शशाङ्कार्धमौले
महेशान शूलिञ्जटाजूटधारिन्।
त्वमेको जगद्व्यापको विश्वरूप:
प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रभो पूर्णरूप।4।
Be kind to me. Be kind to me, Oh, Lord,
Who has a fully complete mien,
Who is the consort of Goddess Uma,
Who keeps the moon crescent with himself,
Who is the God who carries the great spear,
Who has unkempt grown hair,
Who is the only one pervading all over,
And who has a form which encompasses the universe.
Parathmanamadhyam , Jagat bheejamekam,
Nireeham nirakaramonkara vandhyam,
Yatho jayathe palyathe yena viswam,
Thameesam bhaje leeyahe yatra viswam. 4
परात्मानमेकं जगद्बीजमाद्यं
निरीहं निराकारमोंकारवेद्यम्।
यतो जायते पाल्यते येन विश्वं
तमीशं भजे लीयते यत्र विश्वम्।5।
I worship that God,
Who is the Paramathma,
Who is the seed of the world,
Who does not have any desires,
Who does not have any shape,
Who can be known through ‘Om’,
Who creates and looks after the world,
And merges it within him.
Na bhoomir na chapo na vahnir na vayur,
Ma cha akasamasthe na thanthra na nidhra,
Na greeshmo na seetham na deso na vesho,
Na yasyahimurthitrimurthim thameede. 5
न भूमिर्नं चापो न वह्निर्न वायुर्न
चाकाशमास्ते न तन्द्रा न निद्रा।
न गृष्मो न शीतं न देशो न वेषो
न यस्यास्ति मूर्तिस्त्रिमूर्तिं तमीड।6।
I pray and praise that God,
Who is the trimurthy*,
And who is not affected by
Earth, water, fire, wind,
Ether, thanthra, nidhra,
Heat, cold, place of stay and attire.
Ajam sasvatham karanam karananam,
Shivam kevalam Bhasakam Bhasakanam,
Thureeyam thama paramadyantha heenam,
Prapadhye param pavanam dwaitha heenam. 6
अजं शाश्वतं कारणं कारणानां
शिवं केवलं भासकं भासकानाम्।
तुरीयं तम:पारमाद्यन्तहीनं
प्रपद्ये परं पावनं द्वैतहीनम।7।
I praise that most holy God,
Who does not have any birth,
Who is permanent,
Who is the cause of all causes,
Who is peaceful,
Who is the light of all lights,
Who is thureeya, the other side of ignorance,
Who does not have either end or beginning,
And who does not have any divisions.
Namasthe namasthe, Vibho viswamurthe,
Namasthe, namasthe thapo yoga gamya,
Namasthe, namasthe chidananda murthe,
Namasthe, namasthe sruthi gnana gamya. 7
नमस्ते नमस्ते विभो विश्वमूर्ते
नमस्ते नमस्ते चिदानन्दमूर्ते।
नमस्ते नमस्ते तपोयोगगम्य
नमस्ते नमस्ते श्रुतिज्ञानगम्।8।
Salutations and salutations,
To the store house of knowledge and god of all worlds,
Salutations and salutations,
To him who should be known by meditation and Yoga,
Salutations and salutations,
To him who is the ever lasting bliss,
Salutations and salutations,
To him who should be attained through Vedas.
