ಶ್ರೀ ಶಿವ ಪ್ರಾತಃಸ್ಮರಣ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್

At dawn I remember Shiva — the remover of the fear of worldly existence, the lord of gods, the bearer of the Ganga, whose vehicle is the bull Nandi, the lord of Ambika — who holds the khaṭvāṅga and trident, and whose hands grant boons and fearlessness; the incomparable remedy for the affliction of saṃsāra (worldly bondage).

At dawn I bow to Girisha, whose body is half Girija, the primordial deity who is the cause of creation, sustenance, and dissolution; the lord of the universe, pleasing to the minds of all the worlds — the incomparable remedy for the affliction of saṃsāra (worldly bondage).

At dawn I worship Shiva — the one, infinite, primordial; knowable through Vedanta, pure, the great Purusha; free from all distinctions of name and form, devoid of the six modifications of existence — the incomparable remedy for the affliction of saṃsāra (worldly bondage).

A person who brings Shiva in his 'dhyana' daily in the morning and then recites these three Slokas, he becomes free of all the accumulated miseries of many births and attains the blissful stage of Shiva.
