Sri Shiva Sahasranama Sthothram - || Uththara Bhaga: || 11 – 20



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||




|| Om Namashivaya ||











Sage Upamanyu continued "These virtuous people eradicate their sins by pious deeds and develop intense devotion which is difficult to find even in deities.  Their intense devotion to Lord Rudra is firm and incessant, which is attainable only through his grace and they remain exceptional among the devotees, ultimately they will attain the abode of Lord.  Whoever worships Lord Maheshwara who is compassionate, would be protected from the whirlpool of Samsara, even the deities get rid of their repeated births with their strict austerities and penance.  Oh! Lord Krishna, the above narrated were the words of Sage Dhandi who has the effulgence of Lord Indra and refined wisdom has eulogized Supreme Lord Shiva who is the cause and effect of the Universe and attired in elephant skin.  Lord Bhrama memorized these sacred verses and recited before Lord Shankara with utmost devotion.  These sacred verses gives inspiration for pious deeds, it helps to remain pure, eradicates all the sins, it provides refined knowledge about Yogic practices and liberty from the cycles of birth and death.  Whoever recites these sacred verses praising Lord Shankara with utmost devotion and dedication would attain highest of the status of Sankhya Yoga.  Whoever recites these holy verses before Lord Rudra with intense devotion, they would get their desires fulfilled.  This is highly confidential and sacred hymns preserved in the heart of Lord Bhrama, later it was taught to Lord Indra and it was passed on to Yama."
