Lord Shiva

anāyāsena maraṇaṃ

(Anayasena Maranam in English (IAST))

Also known as anayasena maranam vinadainyena jivanam

A life without hardships, an end that is peaceful and a journey that is filled with devotion to you dear Lord. That is what is wished in this prayer, which says – O Lord Shiva, grant me, out of compassion these 3 wishes: 1) A painless, peaceful trouble-free death 2) A life without shortage for my basic needs (as long as I am alive, please let me have the dignity to be able to live a life where I do not have to go beg for resources from others. Let there be enough when I truly need it in my life). 3) A life filled with total, unwavering devotion towards you and when my soul leaves this body, I must only remember you. The 3rd request is key.
