Sri Pandurangashtakam by Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, seated on the Mahayoga Peedam/throne of great Yogi, located on the river banks of Bheemarathi, he is the provider of various boons to Pundarika, he is surrounded by the illustrious Rishis and sages, he is the source of eternal bliss.  I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he is attired in marvelous  blue garment which has the luster of lightning in the dark clouds, he dwells in the palace of Goddess of Mahalakshmi/Rama, he is charismatic, he is absolute consciousness, he is supreme Lord standing by placing his lotus feet on the brick. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he is the proof of my worldly existence standing by holding his waist with both the hands, and he is the source of Vidhatha and his navel is dwelling place of Vidhatha/Lord Bhrama. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, his neck is decorated with the precious gem Kausthubha, he is decked in marvelous Keyooram and bracelets, he carries Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi on his chest, he symbolizes auspiciousness and serenity, he is the provider of abundance of boons to worshiper and he is the protector of Universe and its living beings. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he has the luster of autumn moon and he has beautiful smile on his face, he is decked in marvelous earrings that spreads intense luster on the cheeks and neck area, his red and attractive lips has the appearance of Bimba fruits and his beautiful eyes has the resemblance to blue lotus flower. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he is decked in magnificent crown that spreads extreme luster in all directions, he is worshiped by deities and venerated with various precious gems, he has beautiful and slight bent on three parts of body, and he is adorned in feathers of peacock and flower garlands. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he is all pervading, he is the Lord of Venu who plays melodious music on flute, he is primeval and eternal, he has incarnated as cowherd at his own will, he augmented the happiness of cowherds of Vraja, and he has beautiful smile. I shall meditate upon Lord Panduranga who symbolizes Parambhramam, he is Aja who has no birth, he is the dearest darling of Rukmini, he dwells in supreme abode Srivaikundham/Paramdhama, which is the superior abode of eternal bliss, he is ever pleasing, he is the Lord of Lords who eradicates all the miseries and sorrows of the worshiper.  The above are the glorious verses praising the splendor of Lord Panduranga which is highly propitious, whoever reads or listen to the above verses on daily basis with utmost devotion and faith would safely cross the unfathomable ocean of Samsara, eventually attain the abode of Lord Hari.
