Rudrashtakam — Namamishamishan Nirvanarupam

Namamishamishan nirvanrup ।
Vibhun vyapakan brahmavedaswarupan ॥
Nijan nirgunan nirvikalpan nirihan ।
Chidakashamakashvas bhaje'han ॥

I bow to Ishan Shiva — liberation itself, all-pervading, Brahman and the Vedas in form; beyond qualities and desires, dwelling in the sky of consciousness — I worship him.

Nirakaramonkarmul turiyan ।
Gira gyan gotitmish girishan ॥
Karalan mahakal kalan kripalan ।
Gunagar sansarpar nato'han ॥

He who is formless, the root of Omkar, beyond speech, knowledge and the senses, the lord of Kailash; who, though Mahakal — death of death — is merciful; abode of virtues, who carries us across the world — I bow to him.

Tusharadri sankash gauran gabhiran ।
Manobhut koti prabha shri shariran ॥
Sphuranmauli kallolini charu ganga ।
Lasadbhalabalendu kanthe bhujanga ॥

He who is fair and deep like the Himalaya, whose body has the radiance of crores of Kamadevs; the Ganga flowing on his head, the crescent moon on his forehead and a serpent at his neck adorn him.

Chalatkundalan bhru sunetran vishalan ।
Prasannananan nilakanthan dayalan ॥
Mrigadhishacharmambaran mundamalan ।
Priyan shankaran sarvanathan bhajami ॥

Swaying earrings, lovely brows and large eyes, a cheerful face, a blue throat, a kind nature, a lion-skin garment and a garland of skulls — I worship such a beloved Shankar, lord of all.

Prachandan prakrishtan pragalbhan pareshan ।
Akhandan ajan bhanukotiprakashan ॥
Trayah shul nirmulanan shulpani ।
Bhaje'han bhavaniptin bhavagamyan ॥

Fierce, supreme, radiant Parameshwar, undivided, unborn, with the light of crores of suns; trident-bearer who uproots the three kinds of suffering, Bhavani's lord who is reached through love — I worship him.

Kalatit kalyan kalpantakari ।
Sada sajjananandadata purari ॥
Chidanand sandoh mohaphari ।
Prasid prasid prabho manmathari ॥

He who is beyond time, auspiciousness itself, who ends the kalpa, ever giving joy to the good, Tripurari; ocean of consciousness and bliss, remover of delusion, enemy of Kamadev — O Lord, be pleased.

Na yavat umanath padaravindan ।
Bhajantih loke pare va naranan ॥
Na tavatsukhan shanti santapnash ।
Prasid prabho sarvabhutadhivasan ॥

O Lord of Uma, until people worship your lotus feet, they find no happiness, peace or release from sorrow in this world or the next. O Lord who dwells in all beings, be pleased.

Na janami yogan japan naiv pujan ।
Nato'han sada sarvada shambhu tubhyan ॥
Jara janma duhkhaugh tatapyamanan ।
Prabho pahi apannamamish shambho ॥

I know neither yoga, nor jaap, nor puja; O Shambhu, I always bow to you. O Lord Shambhu, protect me, who has taken refuge, burning with old age, birth and sorrow.
