Śrī Śivāṣṭakam sung by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu

[Yasoda Jivan dasa]

Respected scholars,

Today on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri, I would like to share Śivāṣṭakam sung by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

Śrī Śivāṣṭakam sung by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu:

(1)

namo namas te tri-daśeśvarāya bhūtādi-nāthāya mṛḍāya nityam |

gaṅgā-taraṅgottitha-bāla-candra-cūḍāya gaurī-nayanotsavāya ||

“I perpetually offer obeisances unto you, the lord of the thirty primal devas, who are the original father of created beings, whose character is gracious, upon whose head, which is crested by the sickle moon, the Gaṅgā springs, and who are a festival for the eyes of Gaurī, the fair goddess."

(2)

sutapta-cāmīkara-candra-nīla-padma-pravālāmbuda-kānti-vastraiḥ |

sanṛtya-raṅgeṣṭa-vara-pradāya kaivalya-nāthāya vṛṣa-dhvajāya ||

"I offer my obeisances to you who resemble a moon of molten gold, who are dressed in garments colored like a group of budding blue lotuses or lustrous rainclouds, who bestow the most desirable boon to your devotees by your delightful dancing, who offer shelter to those who seek to become one with the transcendental effulgence of Godhead, and whose flag bears the image of the bull."

(3)

sudhāṁśu-sūryāgni-vilocanena tamo-bhide te jagataḥ śivāya |

sahasra-śubhrāṁśu-sahasra-raśmi-sahasra-sañjit-tvara-tejase ’stu ||

"I offer my obeisances to you who dispel darkness with your three eyes — the moon, the sun, and fire — and thus cause auspiciousness for all the living entities of the universe, and whose potency easily defeats thousands of moons and suns."

(4)

nāgeśa-ratnojjvala-vigrahāya śārdūla-carmāṁśuka-divya-tejase |

sahasra-patropari saṁsthitāya varāṅgadāmukta-bhuja-dvayāya ||

"I offer my obeisances to you, whose form is brilliantly illuminated by the jewels of Ananta-deva, the king of snakes, who possess divine potencies and are clothed in a tiger-skin, who stand in the midst of a thousand-petalled lotus, and whose two arms are adorned by lustrous bangles."

(5)

sunūpurārañjita-pāda-padma-kṣarat-sudhā-bhṛtya-sukha-pradāya |

vicitra-ratnaugha-vibhūṣitāya premāṇam evādya harau vidhehi ||

"I offer my obeisances to you who bestow happiness to your servants as you pour upon them the liquid nectar flowing from your reddish lotus feet, upon which charming anklebells ring. Obeisances unto you who are adorned by an abundance of gems. Please endow me today with pure love for Śrī Hari."

(6)

śrī-rāma govinda mukunda śaure śrī-kṛṣṇa nārāyaṇa vāsudeva |

ity ādi-nāmāmṛta-pāna-matta-bhṛṅgādhipāyākhila-duḥkha-hantre ||

"O Śrī Rāma! O Govinda! O Mukunda! O Śauri! O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! O Nārāyaṇa! O Vāsudeva! I offer my obeisances unto you, Śrī Śiva, who are the monarch ruling over all the bee-like devotees who are mad to drink the nectar of these and other innumerable names of Hari, and who thus destroys all grief."

(7)

śrī-nāradādyaiḥ satataṁ su-gopya-jijñāsitāyāśu-vara-pradāya |

tebhyo harer bhakti-sukha-pradāya śivāya sarva-gurave namo namaḥ ||

"I offer my respectful obeisances to you, Śrī Śiva, who are forever inquired of confidentially by Śrī Nārada and other great sages, who very easily bestow boons on them, who bestow the happiness of Hari-bhakti to those who seek boons of you, who thereby create auspiciousness and are thus the guru of everyone."

(8)

śrī-gaurī-netrotsava-maṅgalāya tat-prāṇa-nāthāya rasa-pradāya |

sadā samutkaṇṭha-govinda-līlā-gāna-praviṇāya namo ’stu tubhyam ||

"I offer my obeisances to you who are a festival of auspiciousness for the eyes of Gaurī, who are the lord of her life-energy, who bestow rasa and are expert in forever singing songs with eagerness of the pastimes of Govinda.”

(phala-śruti)

etat śivasyāṣṭakam adbhutaṁ mahat śṛṇvan hari-prema labheta śīghram |

jñānaṁ ca vijñānam apūrva-vaibhavaṁ yo bhāva-pūrṇaḥ paramaṁ samādaram ||

"A person who lovingly hears with rapt attention this wonderful eightfold prayer to Śrī Śiva, can quickly gain love towards Śrī Hari as well as transcendental knowledge, the realization of that knowledge, and unprecedented devotional potency. "
