Sankalpam

Om Ali Neela Ghana  shyamam  , nalinayatha lochanam  ,

Smarami  Pundarikaksham  thena snatho  bhavamyaham

Expression of wish

Om I  meditate  on God  who is black like  a  dark blue cloud  ,

Who has eyes  similar to lotus  and I want to be given a bath by him.

Dhyanam

Ananthadhithya  samkasam Vasudevam chathurbujam,

Sankha chakra   Gadha padma dharinam  vana malinam,

Shyamalam, Santha hrudayam , prasanna  vadanam shubham,

Divya chandana  lipthangam   charuhasam  suveekshanam  ,

Vanamala  parivrutham Naradadhibhir architham,

That Vasudeva  lying on Anantha  shining like a sun, who has  four hands  ,

Who holds conch, wheel mace   and lotus  flower , Who wears   forest garland,

Who is black , who has a peaceful mind , Who has  an auspicious  pleasant face ,

Who is anointed with divine   sandal paste, who has a pretty smile, who looks at you nicely ,

Who is surrounded by forest garlands, Who is  worshipped by sage Narada  and others,

Suvarna kanganai deeptham , kinkini bhi virajitham,

Keyura harinam   devam suvarna makutojwalam ,

Aneka rathna sanchanna sphuran makara  kundalam ,

Dwaja  Vajrangusa   dharam  pada  padma  sushobitham,

That pada  pankajath   gangam pravahanthim  swamoordhni,

Chinthaye  brahma   randhrena pravisanthim  swakam thanum,

THaya samkshalaye  deham bahyamabhyantharam malam,

Anthar bahirschs sudhyarthambahyam abhyantharani cha.

Who shines wearing golden bangles, who also shines due to the bells  ,

Who is the  God  with   the crown and garland, which makes his head shine ,

Who wears the fish like ear globes  made   of several shining gems,

Who carries the  flag  and a diamond goad  and  has a  shining  lotus like feet.

And from his lotus feet flows the  river Ganga from where it commences  itself  ,

Flowing  of  the aperture in the crown of Brahma   it takes  its own path.

I am sprinkling her water  on my body which is  filled with dirt inside and outside

With an aim  of cleaning inside and outside of my body, I use it  outside and inside.

Manthram

Om Namashivaya  Gangayai  Shivadhayai  Namo nama,

Nama stripada gaminyai  manthra moorthyai namo nama  .

Achyuthoham, ananthoham  govindoham  , aham hari,

Anandoham, Aseshoham  Ajoham  Amruthasmyoham,

Nithyoham  Nirvikalpoham  Nirakaroham avyaya ,

SAchidananda  roopoham  paripoornaasmyaham  sadaa

Salutations and salutations  Om Salutations to Shiva  , Ganga   and all that belongs to Shiva ,

Salutations to her who goes   in three  ways  who is the lord  of manthra, salutations and salutations,

I am Achyutha, I am endless, I am Govinda, I am Hari,

I am joy , I am everything, I am one who cannot be defeated, I am the deathlessness,

I am forever, I am one who never wavers, I am shapeless and imperishable ,

I am the form of divine joy and I am always   complete .

Paribhasha

(definition)

Ida  Bhageerathi ganga  , Pingala yamunathuthaa  ,

Thayor madhye    gathaa naadi sushmnakhyaa   Saraswathi,

Dhyanahrudhe jnana jale   raga dwesha malapahe  ,

Yo snathi manase   theerthe   sayathi parmam gathim.

The Ida Nadi is  Ganga  brought by Bageeratha , Pingala  nadi  is Yamuna,

And Sushmna nadi    which  goes in between them is  the Saraswathi ,

IN the mind meditates  dirts like  desire and hatred  about in the water  of wisdom,

And he   who is able to take bath  in that  mind would attain  the ultimate  goal.

Phala sruthim

Idham mansika snanam   proktham hariharadhibhi,

SArdha trikoti theertheshu  snanath   koti gunadhikam,

Yo nithyamachara  devam   savai narayana  smrutha  ,

Kala mruthyurathikramya  jeevathyeva na samsaya.

Benefits

This mental bath   which is addressed to Lord  Vishnu  and Lord Shiva ,

Grants more benefits than bathing   in   half of three  crores  sacred waters,

Those   who practice  it daily    and then meditate  on Narayana,

Would outlive time and death and without doubt live

Ithi  Manthra manasika  snana stotram sampoornam

Thus end the  prayer of mental bath using the chants.
