श्री शिव प्रातःस्मरण स्तोत्रम्

(Shiva Pratah Smaranam)

(प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशं)

Language:Sanskrit

Translation:English

The Shiva Pratah Smaranam is a devotional hymn of three verses composed by Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, intended to be recited at dawn as an act of remembrance of Lord Shiva. The title means "morning remembrance of Shiva" — pratah (dawn) and smaranam (remembrance). Each verse opens with a different devotional expression — smarāmi (I remember), namāmi (I bow), bhajāmi (I worship) — and ends with the same refrain identifying Shiva as saṃsāra-roga-haram auṣadham advitīyam — the incomparable remedy for the affliction of saṃsāra. This refrain gives the hymn its central teaching: Shiva is not merely a deity to be adored, but the ultimate cure for the fundamental human condition of bondage and suffering.

Lyrics

प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशं गङ्गाधरं वृषभवाहनमम्बिकेशम् ।
खट्वाङ्गशूलवरदाभयहस्तमीशं संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥

प्रातर्नमामि गिरिशं गिरिजार्धदेहं सर्गस्थितिप्रलयकारणमादिदेवम् ।
विश्वेश्वरं विजितविश्वमनोभिरामं संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥२॥

प्रातर्भजामि शिवमेकमनन्तमाद्यं वेदान्तवेद्यमनघं पुरुषं महान्तम् ।
नामादिभेदरहितं षड्भावशून्यं संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥३॥

प्रातः समुत्थाय शिवं विचिन्त्य श्लोकत्रयं येऽनुदिनं पठन्ति ।
ते दुःखजातं बहुजन्मसञ्चितं हित्वा पदं यान्ति तदेव शम्भोः ॥ ४॥
