P.R.Ramachander

    (Abhinava Guptha was one of the very great    saints of Kashmir   Saivism.  He lived  most probably before Adhi Shankara .Some people believe that  ADhi Sankara met him and he was  defeated in argument. This great  prayer was composed by him just before his death. It seems chanting this prayer   he entered   called  BHirava Guha  , never to come out again.The Sanskrit original of this prayer is available in http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1026&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

You are always the greatest  god  who  has filled up,

My soul  which  is  completely full of   yourself.

THena na samsruthi bheethi kadha asthi,

SAthswapi  durdhara   dukha   vimoha,

In  this   world you are   the lord of my soul,

And because of that there is no fear  in my existence ,

And  due to that  I am not  afraid of difficulties   and sorrow,

Which are  resulting  from this cycle of birth and death

That  dancing    singing  and intimate  knowledge ,

Of you  is measured as the only good acts  to be done,

And  is not easily  available to the bad people at the right time.

10.Vasura sapoushe , Krishna dasamyam,

Abhinava guptha  sthavam imam karoth,

Yena  vibhur bhavam arusanthapam ,

SAmayathi jadithi  janasya dhayaalu,

SAmptham sthavam idham abhinava  vaakhyam  padhya navakam.

Abhinava Guptha    wrote   this great prayer ,

On the Dasami of the dark fortnight  in the month of Pausha,

And due to this the Lord  due to utmost compassion,

Quickly   destroys all sufferings of people , as he is merciful.

Thus ends the prayer of nine stanzas   written by Abhinava  Guptha.
