Lyrics Vishwanatha Ashtakam - Mano

Gangā taraṅga ramaṇīya jaṭā kalāpaṃ
Gaurī nirantara vibhūṣita vāma bhāgaṃ
Nārāyaṇa priyamanaṅga madāpahāraṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 1 ||

Vācāmagocaramaneka guṇa svarūpaṃ
Vāgīśa viṣṇu sura sevita pāda padmaṃ
Vāmeṇa vigraha varena kalatravantaṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 2 ||

Bhūtādipaṃ bhujaga bhūṣaṇa bhūṣitāṅgaṃ
Vyāghrāñjināṃ baradharaṃ, jaṭilaṃ, trinetraṃ
Pāśāṅkuśābhaya varaprada śūlapāṇiṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 3 ||

Sītāṃśu śobhita kirīṭa virājamānaṃ
Bālekṣaṇātala viśoṣita pañcabāṇaṃ
Nāgādhipā racita bāsura karṇa pūraṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 4 ||

Pañcānanaṃ durita matta mataṅgajānāṃ
Nāgāntakaṃ dhanuja puṅgava pannāgānāṃ
Dāvānalaṃ maraṇa śoka jarāṭavīnāṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 5 ||

Tejomayaṃ saguṇa nirguṇamadvitīyaṃ
ānanda kandamaparājita maprameyaṃ
Nāgātmakaṃ sakala niṣkaḷamātma rūpaṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 6 ||

āśāṃ vihāya parihṛtya paraśya nindāṃ
Pāpe rathiṃ ca sunivārya manassamādhau
ādhāya hṛt-kamala madhya gataṃ pareśaṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 7 ||

Rāgādhi doṣa rahitaṃ svajanānurāgaṃ
Vairāgya śānti nilayaṃ girijā sahāyaṃ
Mādhurya dhairya subhagaṃ garaḷābhirāmaṃ
Vārāṇasī purapatiṃ bhaja viśvanādham || 8 ||

Vārāṇasī pura pate sthavanaṃ śivasya
Vyākhyātam aṣṭakamidaṃ paṭhate manuṣya
Vidyāṃ śriyaṃ vipula saukhyamananta kīrtiṃ
Samprāpya deva nilaye labhate ca mokṣam ||

Viśvanādhāṣṭakamidaṃ puṇyaṃ yaḥ paṭheḥ śiva sannidhau
śivalokamavāpnoti śivenasaha modate ||
