Rudraashtakam [Shiva Stuti] lyrics

Namaa miisha mishaana-nirvaana rupam

vibhum vyaapakam brahma-veda-svaroopam

nijam nirgunam nirvikalpam niriham

chidaakaasha maakaasha-vaasam bhaje ham

niraakaara monkaara-moolam turiiyam

giraa gnaana gotiita miisham giriisham

karaalam mahaa-kaala-kaalam krpaalam

gunaagaara samsara paaram nato ham

nato ham sadaa sarvadaa sambhu tubhyam

rudrastakam idam proktam viprena haratosaye

ye pathanti nara bhaktya tesam sambhuh prasidati

karpoora gauram karunaavataaram

samsaara saaram bhujagendra haaram

sadaavasantam hridayaara vinde

bhavam bhavaani sahitam namaami
