(This prayer asks God for several capabilities. The manthraksharas “Iym” and “Kleem” are used to worship Shiva. Devotees interested in any one wish can repeat that Stanza..SAnskrit text posted after translation)

Of Vedas, Science, Puranas,

And sixty four type of arts,

Oh Shiva, “Iym” salutations, “Kleem”.

Meemsayaam samasthatam, sabdha sasthre viseshatha,

Especially in the science of phonetics,

Which makes my brain dull,
And also remove the disrespect of other beings towards me,

To all things that attract,

Mugdha Chandra Kala Chooda, Iym Nama Kleem shivaya sou. 9

Hey Lord of the universe,
Who wears the crescent of moon as ornament,
Make my mind lean,
Towards the path of salvation,
Oh Shiva, “Iym” salutations, “Kleem”.

Ithyethad navakam nithyam bhakthitho ya paden nara,
Prarambhasmasya sidhyanthi , prarthhithanchapi sidhyathi. 10

He who recites these nine stanzas,
Daily with devotion,
Will complete all works he starts,
And would get all his desires fulfilled.

What is the origin of this stotra? What book may I find references to it in? I have amazing success with this navakam and wish to know more of its origins. Please email me RudraVidya@trashmail.net or reply to this post. I am so eager to know more about this powerful stotra. The mantras within each stanza have incredible powers that you may use to talk to Lord Shiva with! Aum Sivaya Namaha! Aeeing nama Kaleeng Sivaya Soo!!!

Is there any sanskrit version of this stotra
