|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||




|| Shankara ||











I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam, worshipped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Murari/Lord Vishnu and all the deities, he is unblemished and has supreme radiance, and he has the capabilities to destroy the miseries of repeated births.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam, worshipped by all the deities and Sages, he has the capacity to destroy the fear of cupid arrows of Lord Manmatha, he is compassionate, and he thrashed the pride of Ravana.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam, he is anointed in supreme fragrance, he is the provider of self realization and intelligence, and he is venerated by Siddhas, Suras/deities and Asuras/demons.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam, he is decked in various precious ornaments, he is decorated with venomous serpents as garlands, and he is the destroyer of the Yagna of Dakshaprajapthi.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam, he is smeared in saffron and sandalwood paste, he is decked in lotus flower garlands, and he is the destroyer of Sanchithapapa/sins of living beings that have accumulated in several births.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam which possesses divinity and emotions, he is venerated by deities and Ganas, and he has the radiance of crores of Aditya.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam which is surrounded by the eight petal lotus flowers, he is the cause of the Universe and its living beings, and he is the destroyer of all kinds of scarcity.



I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Sadashiva who appears as Lingam which is worshipped by Suras and Bhrahaspathi/Suraguru, he is decorated with various fresh alluring flowers of wood, he is beyond perception and he is Paramathma.
