॥ Shiva Panchakshari Stotram Telugu Lyrics ॥
ఓం నమః శివాయ శివాయ నమః ఓం
ఓం నమః శివాయ శివాయ నమః ఓం
నాగేంద్రహారాయ త్రిలోచనాయ
భస్మాంగరాగాయ మహేశ్వరాయ ।
నిత్యాయ శుద్ధాయ దిగంబరాయ
తస్మై “న” కారాయ నమః శివాయ ॥ 1 ॥
మందాకినీ సలిల చందన చర్చితాయ
నందీశ్వర ప్రమథనాథ మహేశ్వరాయ ।
మందార ముఖ్య బహుపుష్ప సుపూజితాయ
తస్మై “మ” కారాయ నమః శివాయ ॥ 2 ॥
శివాయ గౌరీ వదనాబ్జ బృంద
సూర్యాయ దక్షాధ్వర నాశకాయ ।
శ్రీ నీలకంఠాయ వృషభధ్వజాయ
తస్మై “శి” కారాయ నమః శివాయ ॥ 3 ॥
వశిష్ఠ కుంభోద్భవ గౌతమార్య
మునీంద్ర దేవార్చిత శేఖరాయ ।
చంద్రార్క వైశ్వానర లోచనాయ
తస్మై “వ” కారాయ నమః శివాయ ॥ 4 ॥
యఙ్ఞ స్వరూపాయ జటాధరాయ
పినాక హస్తాయ సనాతనాయ ।
దివ్యాయ దేవాయ దిగంబరాయ
తస్మై “య” కారాయ నమః శివాయ ॥ 5 ॥
పంచాక్షరమిదం పుణ్యం యః పఠేచ్ఛివ సన్నిధౌ ।
శివలోకమవాప్నోతి శివేన సహ మోదతే ॥
॥ 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.
