श्रीशरणेश्वर महादेवाष्टकम्
Shree Sharaneshor Mahadevastakam
सौम्यं शाश्वतमप्रमेयमतुलं ज्ञानैकगम्यं हरं,
कैलासाधिपतिं मृडं पशुपतिं पापापहं पावनम् ।
योगीन्द्रादिकसेव्यमेकमनघं ध्यानास्पदं सत्पदं,
वन्दे˜हं शरणेश्वरं प्रियवरं शान्तं शिवं शंकरम् ।।१।।
Bhagawan Shankar is serene, true, beyond the material knowledge, incomparable, only the subject to be known, and one who absorbs the poison of the world. He is the Lord of Kailash and figure of bliss. Lord of Pasu (creatures), who carries away the sin and remains innocent, who is to be served by the supreme Yogis, who is pious, the pivot of meditation and refuge of saints, on the figure of peace, Beloved Shiva, Shankar, Sharaneshor, Mahadev I bow to you.
ध्यानावस्थित-चेतसादर्रनयनो यो वैष्णवाधीश्वरो,
भक्त्यालम्भितकृष्णपादरजसा व्याप्तः स्वयम्भूपतिः ।
यो नित्यं श्रयते सुधां मुररिपोर्नामाश्रिता निर्मलां
वन्दे तं शरणेश्वरं प्रियवरं मृत्युञ्जयं शंकरम् ।।२।।
The one who always immerses in the tears of love in the meditation of Lord Shreekrishna, the supreme Vaishnava, Shree Shankar is devotionally beautified by the soil trodden by Lotus feet of Shree Krishna though he himself is the owner of the whole universe. He who eternally showers in the cooling nectar of Krishna Naam (name), I bow to such Shree Shareneshor Shankar who has conquered death (Mrityunjaya).
यो वृन्दानधाम्नि पावनमहारासे प्रवेशोच्छुको,
भूत्वा लास्यकलैकरासनिपुणो गोपीश्वरी-यूथपः ।
भेजे प्रेष्ठतमस्य भावमधिकं तत्प्रेमभक्त्याश्रयं
तं वन्दे शरणेश्वरं त्रिनयनं मृत्युञ्जयं शंकरम् ।।३।।
He who entered the Vrindavan Dham as the perfect dancer queen among Gopinis in order to drink the divine nectar of MahaRasha, and accordingly enjoyed the nectar of loving devotion (Prema Bhakti) from Shree Krishna, I bow to Mrityunjaya Bhagawan Shree Sharaneshor Shankar, who has three eyes.
नित्यस्त्वं शशिशेखरो हिमगिरौ कैलास-शैलासनः,
राधामाधव-पादपद्ममधुपो ध्यानैकनिष्ठस्थितिः ।
तत्प्रेमादर्रवपुः परात्परतमो गंगाधरो गोपति,
हे शम्भो ! शरणेश्वर ! पशुपते ! मां दीनमानन्दय ।।४।।
O Shambu, you are eternal and infinite. Moon is decorated on your head. You reside in the Himgiri (mountain) Kailash. You are like a bee that continuously enjoys the nectar of Lotus feet of RadhaMadhav. You whole being is always absorbed in Love and meditation of Shree Krishna. You are the supreme element among all. You are Gangadhar because Ganga flows your head. You are the lord of Nandi. O Shiva ! Sharaneshor! Pashupati! Please shower the bliss upon a poor like me.
त्वं व्याघ्राम्बरसर्पभाक् वृषधनो रौद्रः श्मशानाधिपः ,
त्वं भूतेश्वरमुण्डमाल्यभयदस्त्वं चान्तकस्यान्तकः ।
सन्त्वेते भगवन् ! तथापि भजतां त्वं र्सववाञ्छाप्रदः ,
हे शम्भो ! शरणेश्वर ! पशुपते ! मां दीनमानन्दय ।।५।।
O Shambu, tiger skin is your wear, and snake your wreath. Ox (Nandi) is your wealth. Rudra is your form. You live in the place of cremation. Spirits are you servant, you were the garland of human skull. Your manifestation is terrifying and you are the death of death. But you are still the Mangalmaya god who bestows everything upon the devotees who pray to you. O Sharaneshor, Pashupati, please shower the bliss upon a poor like me.
त्वत्पादैकरतिः सती हिमवतः कन्यामुपेत्यादरात्,
वामांगी तपसा विहाय विषयान् गौरी त्वपर्णाभवत् ।
पुत्रो विघ्नहरो मुकुन्दललितो˜सौ कार्तिकेयो˜परः
हे शम्भो ! शरणेश्वर ! पशुपते ! मां दीनमानन्दय ।।६।।
Sati, daughter of Dakshya, reincarnated as the daughter of Himalaya, Gauri, because she contemplated on nothing except your feet. She is called Aparna when she respectfully abandoned all the subjects and started meditating, and finally became your better half. Shree Ganesh, beloved of Bhagawan Mukunda and one who takes away the obstacles, is your son and the second son is Swami Kartikeya. You who have such a family, O Sharaneshor, Pashupati, please shower the bliss upon a poor like me.
भक्ताः यत्र हरेः कथैकनिपुणा त्वं राजसे तत्स्थले ,
पूजा माधवपादयोर्भवति यत् तत्ते प्रियं मन्दिरम् ।
त्वं रुद्राक्षधरो˜पि विल्वलसितो वृन्दावनैकप्रियः
हे शम्भो ! शरणेश्वर ! पशुपते ! मां दीनमानन्दय ।।७।।
You stay in the place where there are devotees telling the story of Shree Hari. Your favorite residence is the place where the Paad Padma of Bhagawan Madhava is worshipped. Though you wear Rudrakshya and are decorated by Vilva leaves, you love the Vrindavan Dham and the Tulashi on whom Shree Krishna have put feet. O Sharaneshor, Pashupati, please shower the bliss upon a poor like me.
आराध्यः सततं त्वमत्र भगवन् भक्तेष्वभीष्टप्रदः,
त्वं गोपालप्रियो˜सि त्वच्चरणयोर्गोपालदेवः प्रियः ।
श्री गोलोकविहरिणञ्च निकषा त्वं राजसे भूरिदः ।
हे शम्भो ! शरणेश्वर ! प्रतिदिनं मांगल्यमाकल्पय ।।८।।
O lord, who blesses all the devotees and fulfills every purpose and wills, you are residing here in praying form. Your beloved is the Lord Shree Gopal. Please remain in here close to Shree Golok Bihari. O Shambu, Sharaneshor, please bestow blessing upon me everyday.
यः पठेत् प्रातरुत्थाय शरणेश्वरप्रार्थनम् ।
तस्य भक्तिर्भवेन्नित्यं हरिशंकर-पादयोः ।।
He, who reads this Shree Sharaneshor Stotra in early morning, will have deep devotion on the lotus feet of Lord HariShankar.
