॥ ଶିଵପଞ୍ଚାକ୍ଷରମନ୍ତ୍ରସ୍ତୋତ୍ର Odia Lyrics ॥
The term Shiva means “auspicious. ” The God Shiva is all-auspiciousness . The mantra namah Shivaya, used to offer salutations to Shiva, is an effective prayer to propitiate Shiva . This mantra appears in many places in Vedic and Puranic literature. For example, the famous Rudram hymn from the Yajur Veda, commonly employed to perform the worship of the Shiva linga, says:
ନମଃ ଶିଵାୟ ଚ ।
The daridrya dahana stotra of Vasishtha says:
ଦାରିଦ୍ର୍ୟଦୁହ୍ଖ-ଦହନାୟ ନମଃ ଶିଵାୟ ।
Salutations to Shiva who burns up the grief caused by poverty! Here poverty does not necessarily mean material poverty; it also means spiritual poverty.
This panchakshara (five syllabled) mantra namah Shivaya is sometimes called the mula mantra or basic mantra of Shiva . Each of the five syllables, na, ma, shi, va, and ya, is held to be so sacred that it represents Shiva even by itself.
The following is the ShivapanchakShara stotra composed by Adi Sankaracharya . One may worship the Shiva linga by reciting this stotra and offering bilva leaves.
