Dhasha Sloki Sthuthi by Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics & meanings

|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

|| Shankara ||

My humble salutation to Lord Pashupathi along with consort Goddess Uma, Oh! Pashupathe, Oh! Samba, I shall remain sincerely devoted to Lord Samba with his consort, who is absolute Bhramam beyond description. I shall prostrate before supreme Lord along with consort Goddess Uma, who is the cause for the well being of deities, Asuras, and Uragas, I am not aware of any other deities other than Supreme Lord Parameshwara, therefore I am a passionate devotee of him along with his consort Goddess Uma. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara, who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description; he battled against the demons Thripurasuras, with the assistance of Lord Vishnu and other deities, and in this manner reinstated peace among the deities. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara whos is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, whose chariot was Bhoomi/Kshoni/Earth, Lord Surya and Lord Chandra were the two wheels of the chariot, Mount Meru was bow and Lord Vishnu was arrows, Lord Bhrama was charioteer, and the ocean was umbrella, Veda was the horses and Adishesha was the rope tied to the bow. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwa who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, was sincerely venerated by Maharishi Veda Vyasa which was astounded Lord Nandikeshwara, because once Maharishi Veda Vyasa was proclaimed that there are no deities other than Lord Govinda. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, whose divine body is smeared in the holy ashes of Lord Manmatha; he honored Lord Bhrama and graciously accepted the eyes of Lord Vishnu along with the lotus flowers. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara, who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, he has sky as matted hair locks, various directions as his majestic clothes, crescent moon as flower decked in the crown, he is the personification of eternal bliss, he is seated on the magnificent throne of Vedantha, and he is the symbol of kindness. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara, who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, while Lord Vishnu was venerating the feet of supreme Lord Shiva with the thousands of sacred names and thousands of lotuses, there found one flower was missing, instantly Lord Vishnu offered one of his lotus flowers like eye to Lord Shiva, he is annihilator of demons and protector of the three worlds. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, who is the symbol of blazing flame was tried to locate by Lord Vishnu in his glorious form as wild boar, eventually revealed his incompetence to find the beginning of it was graciously accepted by Lord Shiva, and Lord Vishnu has become the protector of the Universe. Lord Bhrama who was transformed into swan and revealed his insincere opinion was remained ineffectual to worship. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description, whose body represents the five elements, Lord Surya, Lord Chandra and Purusha, he is the symbol of ‘Omkara’ and marvelously eulogized by Vedas. I shall meditate upon Lord Parameshwara who is absolute Bhramam which is beyond description; he graciously swallowed the venmous poison appeared while churning the milky ocean, in order to protect Lord Vishnu, Lord Bhrama, Lord Indra and deities who took refuge in him.
