॥ Shiva Panchakshari Stotram Malayalam Lyrics ॥
ഓം നമഃ ശിവായ ശിവായ നമഃ ഓം
ഓം നമഃ ശിവായ ശിവായ നമഃ ഓം
നാഗേന്ദ്രഹാരായ ത്രിലോചനായ
ഭസ്മാങ്ഗരാഗായ മഹേശ്വരായ ।
നിത്യായ ശുദ്ധായ ദിഗമ്ബരായ
തസ്മൈ “ന” കാരായ നമഃ ശിവായ ॥ 1 ॥
മന്ദാകിനീ സലില ചന്ദന ചര്ചിതായ
നന്ദീശ്വര പ്രമഥനാഥ മഹേശ്വരായ ।
മന്ദാര മുഖ്യ ബഹുപുഷ്പ സുപൂജിതായ
തസ്മൈ “മ” കാരായ നമഃ ശിവായ ॥ 2 ॥
ശിവായ ഗൗരീ വദനാബ്ജ ബൃന്ദ
സൂര്യായ ദക്ഷാധ്വര നാശകായ ।
ശ്രീ നീലകണ്ഠായ വൃഷഭധ്വജായ
തസ്മൈ “ശി” കാരായ നമഃ ശിവായ ॥ 3 ॥
വശിഷ്ഠ കുമ്ഭോദ്ഭവ ഗൗതമാര്യ
മുനീന്ദ്ര ദേവാര്ചിത ശേഖരായ ।
ചന്ദ്രാര്ക വൈശ്വാനര ലോചനായ
തസ്മൈ “വ” കാരായ നമഃ ശിവായ ॥ 4 ॥
യജ്ഞ സ്വരൂപായ ജടാധരായ
പിനാക ഹസ്തായ സനാതനായ ।
ദിവ്യായ ദേവായ ദിഗമ്ബരായ
തസ്മൈ “യ” കാരായ നമഃ ശിവായ ॥ 5 ॥
പഞ്ചാക്ഷരമിദം പുണ്യം യഃ പഠേച്ഛിവ സന്നിധൗ ।
ശിവലോകമവാപ്നോതി ശിവേന സഹ മോദതേ ॥
॥ Shiva Panchakshari Stotram Meaning ॥
My salutations to the letter “Na”, which is Shiva,
Who wears as garland the king of snakes.
Who has three eyes,
Who wears ash all over Him,
Who is the greatest Lord,
Who is forever,
Who is the cleanest,
And who wears the directions themselves as dress
My salutations to the letter “Ma”, which is Shiva,
Who is bathed by waters of Ganges,
Who applies sandal paste all over him,
Who has Lord Nandi as his chiefton,
Who is the greatest lord,
And who is worshipped by Mandhara and many other flowers.
My salutations to the letter “Si”, which is Shiva,
Who is peace personified,
Who is like Sun to the Lotus face of Gowri[1],
Who destroyed the fire sacrifice of Daksha[2],
Who has a blue neck,
And who has a bull in his flag.
My salutations to the letter “Va”, which is Shiva,
Who is worshipped by great sages like,
Vasishta, Agasthya and Gotham,
As also the devas,
And who has sun, moon and fire as his three eyes.
My salutations to the letter “Ya”, which is Shiva,
Who takes the form of Yaksha,
Who has tufted hair,
Who is armed with a spear,
Who is forever filled with peace,
Who is godly,
Who is the great God,
And who wears the directions themselves as a dress.
Those who read these holy five letters great,
In the temple of Shiva,
Would go to the world of Shiva,
And be forever happy with Him.
