Shiva Shankara Stotram
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Here is mellifluous
and extremely musical prayer which is full of remarkable meaning. I
could not find the source of this stotra. The stotra in devanagari can be seen
in http://prramamurthy1931.blogspot.in/2011/03/hymns-to-shiva-sivasankara-stotram.html)
1.Athibheeshana
katu bhashana yama kinkara patalee-,
Krutha thadana pari peedana maranagama samaye,
Umaya saha mama chethasi yama sasana nivasan,
Shiva Shankara, Shiva Shankara Hara may duritham.
Destroy my sufferings, Oh Shiva Shankara, Oh Shiva
Shankara,
When my death approaches , When the fearsome ,

Wearing veils are
torturing me greatly,
Come along with
Parvathi in to my mind,
And live there and command that God of death.

Destroy my sufferings, Oh Shiva Shankara, Oh Shiva
Shankara,
Who turns in to blessing, the rise of the incurable pleasure of senses,
Who alters the sins committed of finding fault with others,
By the act of liberating us, who gives us support in the
jungle,
Of birth and death
by making our reaction peaceful.

pitiable mind.

Please fill my place of residence with pleasure.

Destroy my sufferings, Oh Shiva Shankara, Oh Shiva
