sadAshivabrahmendra virachitA

anuchitamanulapitaM me tvayi nanu shambho tadAgasaH shAntyai |
archAM kathamapi vihitAma~NgIkuru sarvama~Ngalopeta || 1|| ##
O Shambhu, accompanied by Parvati, indeed unfitting words
have been said about you by me. Towards expiation of this sin,
somehow please accept the worship offered (by me).
##
dhyAyAmi kathamiva tvAM dhIvartmavidUradivyamahimAnam |
AvAhanam vibhoste devAgrya bhavet prabho kutaH sthAnAt || 2|| ##
How can I meditate upon you (perform DhyAnam), who are
beyond the range of the intellect? O foremost among Devas,
from which place can one invoke you (perform AvAhanam),
you being all-pervading.
##
kiyadAsanaM prakalpyaM kR^itAsanasyeha sarvato.api shiva |
pAdyaM kuto.arghyamapi vA.a.apAdyaM sarvatrapANipAdasya || 3|| ##
O Shiva, how large a seat must be set for you, who are
seated all around? Whence can water for feet (PAdyam) or as
a respectful offering (Arghyam) be given to you whose hands
and feet are everywhere.
##
AchamanaM te syAdapi bhagavan bhava sarvatomukhasya katham |
madhuparko vA kathamiha madhuvairiNi darshitaprasAdasya || 4|| ##
O Bhagavan! O Bhava! How can Achamanam (water to sip) be
possible for you whose faces are everywhere? How can Madhuparka
(milk and honey) be given to you, who favours the enemy of Madhu
(Vishnu, the slayer of the demon Madhu).
##
snAnena kiM vidheyaM salilakR^iteneha nityashuddhasya |
vastreNApi na kAryaM devAdhipate digambarasyeha || 5|| ##
What is the necessity of a bath, done with water, to one who
is eternally pure? O Lord of the Devas, there is no use of a
garment to you who wears only the directions.
##

ativarNAshramiNaste.astyupavIteneha kaHsvidutkarShaH || 6|| ##
O one who has the most auspicious one (Parvati) in your form! In
all your limbs, snakes shine forth as ornaments. What sanctity
can come through the sacred thread to you, who are beyond the
Varnas and Ashramas?
##
gandhavatI hi tanuste gandhAH kiM nesha paunaruktyAya |
puShkaraphaladAtAraM puShkarakusumena pUjaye kiM tvAm || 7|| ##
O Lord! Are not perfumes redundant to you whose body is
fragrant? Can I worship you with Pushkara (lotus) flowers,
when you are the giver of Pushkara (abundant, complete) fruits?
##
shamadhanamUladhanaM tvaM sakaleshvara bhavasi dhUpitaH kena |
dIpaH kathaM shikhAvAn dIpyeta puraH svayamprakAshasya || 8|| ##
O lord of all! You are the chief wealth of Rishis who value
tranquility, so how can you be incensed (worshipped with
incense)? How can even a flaming lamp burn bright before the
self-effulgent one?
##
amR^itAtmakamapi bhagavannashanaM kinnAma nityatR^iptasya |
tvayyAmreDitametat tAmbUlaM yadiha sumukharAge.api || 9|| ##
O Lord! Even ambrosial food, what does it mean to one who
is always content? TO you, who is always pleasant-faced (or
red-lipped), this betel leaf offering is duplication indeed.
##
upahArIbhUyAdidamumesha yanme vicheShTitamasheSham |
nIrAjayAmi tamimaM nAnAtmAnaM sahAkhilaiH karaNaiH || 10|| ##
O Lord of Uma! Whatever is effected by me, may all this be an
offering (to you). I shall perform Neerajanam (waving of lamps)
with all my instruments (mind, body and speech) to the one who
is manifest as diverse objects.
##
sumanashshekhara bhava te sumano.a~njalireSha ko bhavechChambho |
ChatraM dyuman dyumUrdhnashchAmaramapi kiM jitashramasya tava || 11|| ##
O Shambhu, best among Gods (or one wearing flowers on your
head), what use does this handful of flowers have for you? O
effulgent one! Of what use is an umbrella to one whose head is
the sky, or a fan or fly-whisk to one who has conquered fatigue?
##
nR^ityaM prathatAM kathamiva nAtha tavAgre mahAnaTasyeha |
gItaM kiM puravairin gItAgamamUladeshikasya puraH || 12|| ##
O Lord! How can dance be performed before you, the great
dancer? O destroyer of the Tripuras! What music can be rendered
before the primary teacher of the (Sama) Veda that is the
source of all music.
##
vAdyaM DamarubhR^itaste vAdayituM vA pare.asti kA shaktiH |
aparichChinnasya bhavedakhileshvara kaH pradakShiNavidhiste || 13|| ##
O lord of everything! Who indeed can have the ability to
play an instrument to you, the bearer of the Damaru (hand-held
drum)? What rules of circumambulation can be followed towards
you, who are all-pervading
and immeasurable?
##
syuste namAMsi kathamiva sha~Nkara parito.api vidyamAnasya |
vAchAmagochare tvayi vAkprasaro me kathannu sambhavatu || 14|| ##
O Shankara! How can prostrations be offered to you, who are
present all-around? How can my praises expound you, who are
beyond the domain of words?
##

niravadhikaruNAya namo niravadhivibhavAya tejase.astu namaH || 15|| ##
Salutations to the ever-blissful one, to the one who embodies
pure consciousness. Salutations to the radiance that is
limitless in mercy and in glory

dR^ikkUla~NkaShakaruNo dR^iShTipathe me.astu dhavalimA ko.api || 16|| ##
May this white radiance be in the path of my vision, that which
wears the moon (enemy of the lotus) as crest-jewel, that which
bears the Ganga (purifier of the sons of Sagara) on the head
and that which has compassion overflowing from the eyes.
##

I seek refuge in the embodiment of consciousnees, who has the
Meru, the support of the earth, as a bow, has Brahma who is
adept at creating this world, as charioteer and has Vishnu
who is skillful at protecting the world, as an arrow and is
the saviour of the world.
##

This (my) mind has been swallowed by some compassionate one
devoid of all impurities, whose neck rivals the blue-lily,
and half of whose body is Parvati (whose breasts are like
ancestors to the chief mountains.)
##
vasanavate karikR^ittyA vAsavate rajatashailashikhareNa |

Salutations to that object that has garments made with
elephant-hide, has an abode with the peak of the silvery
hill Kailasa, has bracelets with snakes, and that has a
woman (Parvati) in half the body.
##
sarasijakuvalayajAgarasaMveshanajAgarUkalochanataH |
sakR^idapi nAhaM jAne suramitaraM bhAShyakArama~njIrAt || 20|| ##
Not once do I consider any god apart from the one whose eyes
are diligent in making the lotus and lily bloom and close
(i.e. whose eyes are the sun and the moon), and who wears the
snake Patanjali (author of the Mahabhasya) as his anklet.
##
ApATalajATAnAmAnIlachChAyakandharAsImnAm |
ApANDuvigrahANAmAdruhiNaM ki~NkarA vayaM mahasAm || 21|| ##
Beginning with Brahma, we are all the servants of the radiance
that has pale red matted locks, that has blue-hued throat
surface and that has a white form.
##
muShitasmarAvalepe munitanayAyurvadAnyapadapadme |
mahasi mano ramatAM me mahati dayApUramedurApA~Nge || 22|| ##
May my mind rejoice in the great brilliance that robs
Manmatha’s pride, has lotus feet that were generous in
granting eternal life to Markandeya (the son of the Rishi
Mrikandu), and has side glances overflowing with the flood
of compassion.
##
sharmaNi jagatAM girijAnarmaNi sapremahR^idayaparipAke |
brahmaNi vinamadrakShaNakarmaNi tasminnudetu bhaktirme || 23|| ##
May devotion arise in me towards the supreme being who is the
joy of the worlds, who sports with Parvati, who has a heart
softened with love, and who takes on the task of protecting
those who supplicate.
##
asminnapi samaye mama kaNThachChAyAvidhUtakAlAbhram |
astu puro vastu kimapyardhA~NgedAramunmiShanniTilam || 24|| ##
At this very time, may that incomprehensible object, that
relegates the dark cloud with its throat’s brilliance,
that has a wife in half the body, and that has a sparking
(eye in the) forehead, be in front of me.
##
jaTilAya maulibhAge jaladharanIlAya kandharA.a.abhoge |
dhavalAya vapuShi nikhile dhAmne syAnmAmako namovAkaH || 25|| ##
May my words of salutations be towards that resplendent one
who has matted locks on his head, who is blue as a cloud in
the throat region, and who is white in his entire body.
##
akaravirAjatsumR^igaiH avR^iShatura~NgairamaulidhR^itaga~NgaiH |
akR^itamanobhavabha~Ngairalamanyairjagati devatApashadaiH || 26|| ##
Enough of those inferior gods upon this earth, who do not
have a lovely deer in their hands, who do not have a bull as
vehicle, who do not bear Ganga on their heads, and who did
not destroy Manmatha.
##
kasmai vachmi dashAM me kasyedR^igghR^idayamasti shaktirvA |
kasya balaM choddhartuM kleshAt tvAmantarA dayAsindho || 27|| ##
O ocean of mercy! Apart from you, to whom will I narrate
my state?  Who would have such a heart or such power? Who has
the strength to deliver from distress?

mahyaM pradehi bhagavan madIyameva svarUpamAnandam || 28|| ##
O one wearing the crescent moon! I beseech you for some object
which is not new. O Lord! Give me my own blissful nature (which
I am unaware of).

O Lord! May my improper words not be held in your heart, those
spoken due to childishness, or lack of devotion or agitation
due to distress, or being enveloped by delusion.
##
yadi vishvAdhikatA te yadi nigamAgamapurANayAthArthyam |

O great god! If it is true that you are superior to all else in
the universe, and the Vedas, Agamas and Puranas are accurate,
and you have compassion for your devotees, then I shall surely,
speedily have all my desires fulfilled.  ##
