॥ Shiva Panchakshara Stotram English Lyrics ॥
Nagendra haraya Trilochanaya,
Basmanga ragaya maheswaraya,
Nithyaya shudhaya digambaraya,
Tasmai ‘Na’karaya namashivaya.
Mandakini salila chandana charchithaya,
Nandeeswara pramadha nadha maheswaraya,
Mandra pushpa bahu pushpa supoojithaya,
Tasmai ‘Ma’karaya namashivaya.
Shivaaya gowri vadanara vinda,
Sooryaya daksha dwara naasakaya,
Sri neela kantaya vrisha dwajaya,
Tasmai ‘Si’karaya namashivaya.
Vasishta kumbhodhbhava gowthamadhi.
Munendra devarchitha shekaraya,
Chandrarka vaiswanara lochanaya,
Tasmai ‘Va’karaya namashivaya.
Yaksha swaroopaya jada dharaya,
Pinaka hasthathaya sanathanaya,
Divyaya devaaya digambaraya,
Tasmai ‘Ya’karaya namashivaya.
Phalasruthi
Panchak- sharamidham punyam,
Ya padeth Shiva sannidhou,
Shivaloka maapnothi,
Shive na saha modathe.
॥ Shiva Panchakshara Stotra Meaning ॥
Salutations to Shiva, who wears the King of snakes as a garland, the Three-eyed God, whose body is smeared with
ashes, the great Lord, the eternal and pure One, who wears the directions as His garment, and who is represented by the “na” kara (term).
I bow to Shiva, who has been worshipped with water from the ganga (mandakini) and anointed with sandalwood paste, the Lord of nandi, the Lord of the host of goblins and ghosts, the great Lord, who is worshiped with mandara and many other kinds of flowers, and who is represented by the syllable “ma”.
Salutations to Shiva, who is all-auspiciousness, Who is the sun that causes the lotus face of Gauri (Parvati) to blossom, Who is the destroyer of the Yajna of daksha, whose throat is blue (nilakantha), whose flag bears the emblem of the bull, and who is represented by the syllable “shi”.
Vasishhtha, agastya, Gautama, and other venerable sages, and Indra and other Gods have worshipped the head of (Shiva’s linga). I bow to that Shiva whose three eyes are the moon, sun and fire, and who is represented by the syllable “va”.
Salutations to Shiva, who bears the form of a Yaksha, who has matted hair on His head, Who bears the pinaka bow
in His hand, the Primeval Lord, the brilliant God, who is digambara (naked), and who is represented by the
syllable “ya”.
Anyone who recites this sacred five-syllabled mantra, (Namah Shivaya) near the Shiva (linga), attains the abode
of Shiva and rejoices there with Shiva.
