Sri Agasthyashtakam praising on Lord Mahadeva – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||












“I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Mahadeva who makes life and austerities most rewarding, I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Mahadeva who makes wisdom more gratifying,  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Mahadeva who makes life most satisfying after witnessing your lotus feet.  Oh! Maheshvara I am grateful to you! I am grateful to you! I am grateful to you! Oh! Bhakthavalsala/beloved of devotees, I shall remain grateful to you always after visualizing your lotus feet.  Oh! Shivashambhu! Oh! Shivashambhu!  Oh! Shivashambu! Shiva Shiva! You are gracious and supreme bliss, I shall continuously recite your sacred names incoherently,  Oh! Shive, kindly provide us sincere devotion and I shall remain faithful and devoted, and I shall remain firm in your devotion. Since birth I have been devoted to Mahadeva and I am not aware of any other deities, whatever born are subject to destroy, everything is perishable in nature, and Lord Shambhu is the source for all those took place on Earth.  We are thankful! We are thankful! We are thankful to the three worlds!   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Oh! Mahadeva,  Oh! Adhideva who is primeval, you are the presiding deity of our clan.  Oh! Hara who is the destroyer of sins of worshiper,  Oh! Shambho who is benevolent, Oh! Mahadeva who is supreme, Oh! Vishveshvara who is the Lord of Universe,  Oh! Vallabha who is the dearest darling of Goddess Parvathi, Oh! Shiva who is most gracious and favourable, Oh! Shankara who symbolizes auspiciousness, Oh! Sarvathma who dwells as soul in living beings, Oh! Neelakanda who has bluish throat I shall eulogise your glories.  Whoever reads or listens to the glorious verses of Agasthyashtakam before supreme Lord Shiva would attain the abode of Lord Shiva and remain in the association of Lord.”
