हिंदी अर्थ
जिनकी जटाओं के वन से बहती गंगा की धारा उनके स्थान को पवित्र करती है, जिनके कंठ में लंबी और ऊँची सर्पमाला लटक रही है और जिनके डमरू से डम-डम की प्रचंड ध्वनि निकल रही है, वे भगवान शिव प्रचंड तांडव करते हुए हमारा कल्याण करें।
English Meaning
May Lord Shiva bless us with auspiciousness as He performs His fierce Tandava. The stream of the Ganga flowing from the forest of His matted locks sanctifies Him, while a lofty serpent garland hangs around His neck and His damaru resounds with the powerful rhythm of “dam-dam.”

हिंदी अर्थ
जिनके मस्तक पर देवगंगा की चंचल लहरें उनकी जटाओं में घूमती हुई शोभायमान हैं, जिनके ललाट पर अग्नि धक-धक करके प्रज्वलित हो रही है और जिनके मस्तक पर बालचंद्र सुशोभित है, उन भगवान शिव में मेरा प्रेम प्रत्येक क्षण बढ़ता रहे।
English Meaning
May my devotion remain fixed at every moment in Lord Shiva, whose matted locks are adorned by the restless waves of the celestial Ganga, whose forehead blazes with radiant fire, and who bears the young crescent Moon upon His head.

हिंदी अर्थ
पर्वतराज हिमालय की पुत्री पार्वती के साथ दिव्य क्रीड़ा करने वाले, जिनका मन समस्त दिशाओं में आनंद से परिपूर्ण है और जिनकी करुणामयी दृष्टि कठिन से कठिन संकटों को रोक देती है, उन दिगंबर भगवान शिव में मेरा मन आनंद प्राप्त करे।
English Meaning
May my mind find joy in Lord Shiva, who delights in divine union with Parvati, the daughter of the Lord of Mountains; whose mind is filled with bliss throughout all directions; and whose compassionate glance restrains even the most difficult calamities.

हिंदी अर्थ
जिनकी जटाओं में स्थित भूरे सर्पों के फणों पर चमकने वाले मणियों का प्रकाश दिशारूपी वधुओं के मुखों को कदंब केसर के समान लाल आभा से प्रकाशित करता है, जिनके शरीर पर मदोन्मत्त हाथी की चमकती हुई खाल वस्त्र के समान शोभित है, उन समस्त भूतों के स्वामी भगवान शिव में मेरा मन अद्भुत आनंद प्राप्त करे।
English Meaning
May my mind experience wondrous joy in Lord Shiva, the Lord of all beings. The radiance of the gems upon the hoods of the tawny serpents in His matted locks illuminates the faces of the maidens of the directions with a saffron-like glow, while the shining hide of an intoxicated elephant adorns His body as a garment.
sahasralōchanaprabhṛtyaśēṣalēkhaśēkhara

हिंदी अर्थ
इन्द्र आदि समस्त देवताओं के मस्तकों से अर्पित पुष्पों की धूल से जिनके चरणों का स्थान पवित्र और उज्ज्वल हो गया है, जिनकी जटाओं का जूड़ा सर्पराज की माला से बंधा है और जिनके मस्तक पर चंद्रमा सुशोभित है, वे भगवान शिव हमें दीर्घकाल तक ऐश्वर्य और मंगल प्रदान करें।
English Meaning
May Lord Shiva, whose matted locks are bound with a garland of the serpent king and whose head is adorned with the Moon, grant us lasting prosperity. The ground at His feet is sanctified by the dust of flowers offered by Indra and all the foremost gods.

हिंदी अर्थ
जिनके ललाट के प्रांगण में प्रज्वलित अग्नि की चिंगारियों ने कामदेव के पाँच बाणों को भस्म कर दिया, जिनके सामने देवताओं के स्वामी भी नतमस्तक होते हैं और जिनके मस्तक पर अमृतमयी चंद्रकिरण सुशोभित है, उन महाकपाली भगवान शिव की जटाएँ हमें महान आध्यात्मिक संपदा प्रदान करें।
English Meaning
May the matted locks of Mahakapali Shiva bestow great spiritual wealth upon us. The blazing fire of His forehead consumed the five arrows of Kama, the Lord of the celestial beings bows before Him, and His head shines with the rays of the nectar-like Moon.
karālaphālapaṭṭikādhagaddhagaddhagajjvala-
ddhanañjayādharīkṛtaprachaṇḍapañchasāyakē ।

हिंदी अर्थ
जिनके भयंकर ललाट पर प्रज्वलित अग्नि धक-धक करके जल रही है और जिसने कामदेव के पाँच प्रचंड बाणों को भस्म कर दिया है, जो पर्वतराज की पुत्री पार्वती के वक्षस्थल पर सुंदर चित्रांकन करने वाले अद्वितीय कलाकार हैं, उन त्रिनेत्रधारी भगवान शिव में मेरी बुद्धि स्थिर रहे।
English Meaning
May my mind remain devoted to the three-eyed Lord Shiva, whose terrible forehead blazes with fire that reduced the five powerful arrows of Kama to ashes, and who is the supreme artist adorning the breast of Parvati, the daughter of the Lord of Mountains, with beautiful designs.
navīnamēghamaṇḍalī niruddhadurdharasphurat-
kuhūniśīthinītamaḥ prabandhabandhukandharaḥ ।
nilimpanirjharīdharastanōtu kṛttisindhuraḥ
kaḻānidhānabandhuraḥ śriyaṃ jagaddhurandharaḥ ॥ 8 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
जिनका कंठ नए वर्षा-मेघों के समूह के समान गहरा और सुंदर है तथा जो अमावस्या की अंधेरी रात के घने अंधकार को भी रोक देता है, जो देवगंगा को धारण करते हैं, हाथी की खाल पहनते हैं और कलाओं के भंडार चंद्रमा से सुशोभित हैं, वे सम्पूर्ण जगत का भार धारण करने वाले भगवान शिव हमें समृद्धि प्रदान करें।
English Meaning
May Lord Shiva, the bearer of the celestial Ganga and the elephant hide, bestow prosperity upon us. His beautiful dark throat resembles a mass of fresh rain clouds and overwhelms the dense darkness of the new-moon night. He is adorned with the Moon, the treasure-house of the arts, and sustains the entire universe.
praphullanīlapaṅkajaprapañchakālimaprabhā-
-vilambikaṇṭhakandalīruchiprabaddhakandharam ।
smarachChidaṃ purachChidaṃ bhavachChidaṃ makhachChidaṃ

हिंदी अर्थ
मैं उन भगवान शिव की उपासना करता हूँ जिनका कंठ खिले हुए नीले कमल की गहन श्याम आभा के समान सुंदर है; जो कामदेव का नाश करने वाले, त्रिपुर का विनाश करने वाले, संसार-बन्धन को काटने वाले, दक्ष के यज्ञ का विनाश करने वाले, गजासुर और अंधकासुर का संहार करने वाले तथा स्वयं मृत्यु के भी संहारक हैं।
English Meaning
I worship Lord Shiva, whose throat shines with the deep dark radiance of a fully blossomed blue lotus. He is the destroyer of Kama, the destroyer of Tripura, the liberator from worldly existence, the destroyer of the sacrificial pride, the slayer of the elephant demon and Andhaka, and the destroyer even of death itself.
agarvasarvamaṅgaḻākaḻākadambamañjarī
rasapravāhamādhurī vijṛmbhaṇāmadhuvratam ।
smarāntakaṃ purāntakaṃ bhavāntakaṃ makhāntakaṃ
gajāntakāndhakāntakaṃ tamantakāntakaṃ bhajē ॥ 10 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
मैं उन भगवान शिव की उपासना करता हूँ जो अहंकाररहित हैं और समस्त मंगल के स्वरूप हैं; जो कलाओं के समूह की पुष्प-मंजरी से प्रवाहित होने वाली मधुरता का रसास्वादन करने वाले मधुकर के समान हैं। वे कामदेव, त्रिपुर, संसार, यज्ञ के अहंकार, गजासुर, अंधकासुर और मृत्यु के भी अंत करने वाले हैं।
English Meaning
I worship Lord Shiva, who is free from pride and is the embodiment of all auspiciousness, like a bee delighting in the flowing sweetness of clusters of blossoms representing the divine arts. He is the destroyer of Kama, Tripura, worldly bondage, sacrificial arrogance, the elephant demon, Andhaka, and even death itself.

-dvinirgamatkramasphuratkarālaphālahavyavāṭ ।

dhvanikramapravartita prachaṇḍatāṇḍavaḥ śivaḥ ॥ 11 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
विजयी हों भगवान शिव, जिनके चारों ओर घूमते हुए सर्पों की फुफकार से निकलती अग्नि उनके भयंकर ललाट की अग्नि को और प्रचंड बनाती है और जिनका प्रचंड तांडव ऊँचे मृदंग की “धिमि-धिमि” ध्वनि के मंगलमय क्रम से प्रेरित होकर गतिमान होता है।
English Meaning
May Lord Shiva be ever victorious. The fire emerging from the hissing breath of the serpents whirling around Him intensifies the blazing fire of His terrible forehead, while His fierce Tandava is propelled by the auspicious rhythmic “dhimi-dhimi” sound of the mighty mridanga.
dṛṣadvichitratalpayōrbhujaṅgamauktikasrajōr-
-gariṣṭharatnalōṣṭhayōḥ suhṛdvipakṣapakṣayōḥ ।
tṛṇāravindachakṣuṣōḥ prajāmahīmahēndrayōḥ
samaṃ pravartayanmanaḥ kadā sadāśivaṃ bhajē ॥ 12 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
मैं सदाशिव की उपासना कब करूँगा, जब मेरा मन पत्थर और सुंदर शय्या, सर्प और मोतियों की माला, बहुमूल्य रत्न और मिट्टी के ढेले, मित्र और शत्रु, तिनके और कमल, सामान्य प्रजा और महान सम्राट—इन सभी को समान दृष्टि से देखने लगेगा?
English Meaning
When shall I worship Sadashiva with a mind that regards all things equally—stone and a beautiful bed, a serpent and a pearl necklace, a precious jewel and a lump of earth, friend and enemy, a blade of grass and a lotus, an ordinary person and a great emperor?
kadā nilimpanirjharīnikuñjakōṭarē vasan
vimuktadurmatiḥ sadā śiraḥsthamañjaliṃ vahan ।
vimuktalōlalōchanō lalāṭaphālalagnakaḥ
śivēti mantramuchcharan sadā sukhī bhavāmyaham ॥ 13 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
मैं कब देवगंगा के झरने के निकट किसी एकांत कुंज में निवास करते हुए, दुष्ट विचारों से मुक्त होकर, सदैव सिर पर अंजलि धारण कर, चंचल दृष्टि से मुक्त होकर और भगवान के ललाट का ध्यान करते हुए “शिव” मंत्र का उच्चारण करते-करते सदैव आनंदमय होऊँगा?
English Meaning
When shall I become ever blissful, dwelling in a secluded grove near the celestial Ganga, free from impure thoughts, constantly holding my hands in reverence above my head, with my restless gaze stilled, meditating upon the Lord’s forehead, and continually uttering the mantra “Shiva”?
imaṃ hi nityamēvamuktamuttamōttamaṃ stavaṃ
paṭhansmaranbruvannarō viśuddhimētisantatam ।
harē gurau subhaktimāśu yāti nānyathā gatiṃ
vimōhanaṃ hi dēhināṃ suśaṅkarasya chintanam ॥ 14 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
जो मनुष्य इस परम श्रेष्ठ स्तोत्र का प्रतिदिन पाठ, स्मरण और उच्चारण करता है, वह निरंतर पवित्रता को प्राप्त करता है। वह भगवान हर और गुरु के प्रति शीघ्र ही गहरी भक्ति प्राप्त करता है। भगवान शंकर का चिंतन देहधारी जीवों को मोह से मुक्त करने वाला है और इससे श्रेष्ठ कोई अन्य मार्ग नहीं है।
English Meaning
A person who regularly recites, remembers, and speaks this supreme hymn attains continual purity. Such a person quickly develops deep devotion to Lord Hara and the Guru. Contemplation of Lord Shankara frees embodied beings from delusion, and there is no higher path than this.
pūjāvasānasamayē daśavaktragītaṃ yaḥ
śambhupūjanaparaṃ paṭhati pradōṣē ।
tasya sthirāṃ rathagajēndraturaṅgayuktāṃ
lakṣmīṃ sadaiva sumukhīṃ pradadāti śambhuḥ ॥ 15 ॥
हिंदी अर्थ
जो व्यक्ति प्रदोषकाल में पूजा के अंत में रावण द्वारा गाए गए इस स्तोत्र का पाठ करता है और भगवान शंभु की पूजा में तत्पर रहता है, उसे भगवान शंभु स्थिर लक्ष्मी, समृद्धि और ऐश्वर्य प्रदान करते हैं, जो रथ, श्रेष्ठ हाथियों और उत्तम घोड़ों से युक्त वैभव के रूप में उसके जीवन में बनी रहती है।
English Meaning
One who recites this hymn, sung by the ten-headed Ravana, at the conclusion of worship during Pradosha and remains devoted to the worship of Shambhu is blessed by Shambhu with lasting prosperity and abundance, symbolized by wealth accompanied by chariots, noble elephants, and excellent horses.
