Lingashtakam

A lingam revered by Brahma and Murari
A lingam, radiant with spotless light |
A lingam, dispeller of afflictions born of birth
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 1 ||

A lingam revered and worshipped by the gods and sages
A lingam, the compassionate source that burns away desire |
A lingam, destroyer of Ravana's arrogance
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 2 ||

A lingam anointed with all fragrant perfumes
A lingam, source of increased intellect |
A lingam worshipped by perfected beings, gods, and demons
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 3 ||

A lingam adorned with gold and precious gems
A lingam, splendidly encircled by the lord of serpents |
A lingam, destroyer of Daksha's arrogant sacrifice
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 4 ||

A lingam anointed with saffron and sandalwood paste
A lingam, beautifully adorned with a lotus garland |
A lingam, dispeller of accumulated sins
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 5 ||

A lingam worshipped and served by assemblies of gods
A lingam with devotion by lovers and devotees |
A lingam, effulgent with the brilliance of millions of suns
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 6 ||

A lingam surrounded by eight petals
A lingam, source of the origin of all things |
A lingam, destroyer of the eight kinds of poverty
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 7 ||

A lingam adored and worshipped by the preceptors and lord of gods
A lingam, ever worshipped with celestial flowers |
A lingam, superior to the supreme and supreme self
To that Sadashiva lingam, I forever pay obeisance || 8 ||

Whoever recites this sacred Lingashtakam in the presence of Shiva |
Attains the abode of Shiva and rejoices forever with him ||
