Harihi om, 

I am trying to find word to word meaning of Sivastakam . I tried constructing word by word but I think I need more concrete translation . I appreciate if you have any suggestions / inputs.
I searched in internet and in archive.org but couldnt find a reference for the translation.
Here is the Stotram for reference:

शिवाष्टकम्

प्रभुं प्राणनाथं विभुं विश्वनाथं जगन्नाथ नाथं सदानंद भाजाम् ।
भवद्भव्य भूतेश्वरं भूतनाथं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 1 ॥

गले रुंडमालं तनौ सर्पजालं महाकाल कालं गणेशादि पालम् ।
जटाजूट गंगोत्तरंगैर्विशालं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 2॥

मुदामाकरं मंडनं मंडयंतं महा मंडलं भस्म भूषाधरं तम् ।
अनादिं ह्यपारं महा मोहमारं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 3 ॥

वटाधो निवासं महाट्टाट्टहासं महापाप नाशं सदा सुप्रकाशम् ।
गिरीशं गणेशं सुरेशं महेशं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 4 ॥

गिरींद्रात्मजा संगृहीतार्धदेहं गिरौ संस्थितं सर्वदापन्न गेहम् ।
परब्रह्म ब्रह्मादिभिर्-वंद्यमानं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 5 ॥

कपालं त्रिशूलं कराभ्यां दधानं पदांभोज नम्राय कामं ददानम् ।
बलीवर्धयानं सुराणां प्रधानं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 6 ॥

शरच्चंद्र गात्रं गणानंदपात्रं त्रिनेत्रं पवित्रं धनेशस्य मित्रम् ।
अपर्णा कलत्रं सदा सच्चरित्रं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 7 ॥

हरं सर्पहारं चिता भूविहारं भवं वेदसारं सदा निर्विकारं।
श्मशाने वसंतं मनोजं दहंतं, शिवं शंकरं शंभु मीशानमीडे ॥ 8 ॥

स्वयं यः प्रभाते नरश्शूल पाणे पठेत् स्तोत्ररत्नं त्विहप्राप्यरत्नम् ।
सुपुत्रं सुधान्यं सुमित्रं कलत्रं विचित्रैस्समाराध्य मोक्षं प्रयाति ॥

Namaste

I found these, some of them having word-to-word meanings too:  






There are many. I have not read them fully, though.  Maybe one can read a few of them and try to compose the meaning by taking inputs from various sources. 

warm regards

Namaste,

As per NCC vol 34, p. 351, there is no traditional Sanskrit commentary on Sivashtakam of Sankaracharya.
