Shiva Panchakshara Stotram * शिव पञ्चाक्षर स्तोत्रम्


Shiva Panchakshara Stotram *  शिव पञ्चाक्षर स्तोत्रम्

Shiva Panchakshara Stotram is composed by Guru Adi Shankaracharya, a great sage of Advaita doctrine. The Lyrics of the Stotra describes God Shiva, his qualities and praises his association with panchakshari mantra ‘Nama Shivaya’. It is composed considering the importance of five letters Na, Ma, Si, Va, and Ya of panchakshari mantra which represents five elements Prithvi (Earth), Jala (Water), Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air), and Akasha (Space) tatvas respectively.


नागेन्द्रहाराय त्रिलोचनाय
भस्माङ्गरागाय महेश्वराय
नित्याय शुद्धाय दिगम्बराय
तस्मै _काराय नमः शिवाय ॥१॥

मन्दाकिनीसलिलचन्दनचर्चिताय
नन्दीश्वरप्रमथनाथमहेश्वराय
मन्दारपुष्पबहुपुष्पसुपूजिताय
तस्मै _काराय नमः शिवाय ॥२॥

शिवाय गौरीवदनाब्जवृन्द_
सूर्याय दक्षाध्वरनाशकाय
श्रीनीलकण्ठाय वृषध्वजाय
तस्मै शि_काराय नमः शिवाय ॥३॥

वशिष्ठकुम्भोद्भवगौतमार्य_
मूनीन्द्रदेवार्चितशेखराय
चन्द्रार्कवैश्वानरलोचनाय
तस्मै _काराय नमः शिवाय ॥४॥

यज्ञस्वरूपाय {यक्षस्वरूपाय} जटाधराय
पिनाकहस्ताय सनातनाय
दिव्याय देवाय दिगम्बराय
तस्मै _काराय नमः शिवाय ॥५॥
