Sri Shiva Sahasranama Sthothram - || Uththara Bhaga: || 21 – 32



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||




|| Om Namashivaya ||











Sage Upamanyu continued “ Yama narrated these sacred hymns to Rudras that was received by Lord Bhrama due to his intense penance and severe austerities, later  it was passed on to Sage Dhandi, Oh! Madhava, Sage Dhandi narrated to Shukra and it was passed on to Sage Gauthama, Bhargava and Vaivaswatha Manu, and Sage Sathyanaraya who is highly intellectual was immersed in meditation, ultimately it was passed on to Yama who is the son of Vivaswan.  Oh!  Lord Krishna,  Yama narrated these sacred hymns to  Nachiketha and it was passed on to Sage Markandeya.  Oh! Lord Janardhana, destroyer of enemies, I have received these highly confidential hymns from Sage Markandeya and I am offering to you.  These sacred verses are equivalent to Veda,  it is a gateway to heaven,  it removes all the obstacles from the life of the worshipper, it provides abundance of affluence, it removes all the perils by Dhanavas/demons, Yaksha, Rakshasa, evil spirits, Yathudhanas, Guhyaka and Uraga. ” Sage Upamanyu concluded his speech to Lord Krishna.


Lord Krishna spoke “Oh! Yudhistira, whoever recites these sacred verses continuously for a year with utmost faith and strict austerities, would receive the pieties of Ashwamedha Yaga/horse sacrifice.”


Sage Jaigeeshavya spoke “ Oh! Yudhishtira, I have attained all the auspiciousness, virtues/kindness, patience, serenity of mind, and wealth from supreme Lord Shiva due to continuous austerities and intense faith in him.”


Sage Garga spoke “ Oh! Yudhishtira/ son of Pandu, I have attained knowledge in sixty four art forms due to my intense faith and performance of austerities towards supreme Lord Shiva.”


Sage Vaishampayana said “ The most intelligent Lord Krishna, ruler of the Universe narrated to Yudhishtira who is the personification of righteousness and has the effulgence of Lord Indra, that all these thousands of sacred hymns praising the glories of supreme Lord Shiva was taught by Sage Upamanyu who has the radiance of Lord Surya.”


Those who follow wicked acts and exasperate sinful acts and those who have more Thamasic and Rajjasic qualities will not engage themselves in the worship of Supreme Lord Shiva.   Those who have born with virtues would immerse in the worship of Lord.  I shall firmly believe that whoever worships the Supreme Lord Shiva will liberate from the unfathomable ocean of Samsara and liberate from the cycles of birth and death.  Thus ends the eighteenth chapther of Anushasanika Parva of the great epic Mahabharatha which has ten million verses.


Oh! Supreme Lord Shiva, Oh! Jagadheesha, I shall earnestly pray to protect us from nightmares/Dhuswapna,  bad omen/Dhushakuna, accidents/ Dhurgathi,  depression/Dhurmanasya,  poverty/Dhurbhiksha, miseries/Dhurvyasana, grief and sorrows, ill fame, perils, fear, evil effects from the changes of planetary position and illnesses.  Thus end the thousands of sacred names of Lord Shiva.
