Gajendra Moksha Mantra Lyrics 

1) Om Namo Bhagawathe Thasmai Yathayetha Chidhathmakam
Purushaa Yaadhi Bheejaaya Paresayaabhi Dheemahi

Salutations to the all powerful divine God denoted by “OM”,
Due to whom   the body and mind are made conscious,
 And he also exists within them in the form of the seed for the spirit.

2) Yasmin Idham Yatha Schedham Tyenedham Ya Idham Swayam,
Yoasmath Parasamacha Parastham Prapadhye Swayambhuvam

I surrender to that God in whom this universe
Was born, exists in essence and was made in to the divine,
Who becomes all the world that we see,
And who is different from it in his physical and spiritual form.

3) Ya Swathmaneedham Nija Mayayaa Arpitham,
Kwachid Vibhatham Kwa Cha Thath Thirohitham,
Aviddha Druk Saksha Yubhayam Thadheekshathe Sa,
Aathma Moolo Avathu Maam Parathpara

May I be protected by the God who revealed himself,
Who reveals himself as the universe at times of creation,
Who keeps the universe as an illusion at the times of deluge,
Thus revealing himself sometimes and hiding himself at other times,
And who sees them as a witness in both these states.

4) Kaalena Panchathwamitheshu Kruthsnasao,
Lokeshu Paleshu Cha Sarva Hethushu,
Thamas Thadha Aaseed Gahanam Gabheeram,
Yasthasya Parebhi Virajathe Vibhu

5) Na Yasya Devaa Rishaya Padam Vidhu
Janthu Puna Ko Arhathi Ganthu Meerithum,
Yadhaa Natasya Aakruthibhir Vicheshtatho,
Durathya Anukramana Sa Maavathu

Over time when all the worlds and their guardians,
Are reduced to the five elements  and all their causes,
Only Impenetrable and fathomless darkness , remains,
Coming out of that darkness, the divine Lord shines  from within that.
And his form thus exhibited is not understood even by the devas and sages,
Like the actual form of the actor in a drama is not known to the spectator,
And definitely the ordinary beings is at a loss to describe it,
Thus making his actions unfathomable and let that God protect me.

6) Dhidrukshavo Yasya Padam Su Mangalam,
Vimuktha Sanghaa Munaya Susaadhava,
Charanthya Loka Vrutha Mavranam Vane,
Bhoothama Bhoothaa Shrudh Sa May Gathi

He whose auspicious feet  is desired even  by,
The great sages who are bereft of any attachments ,
Who have benevolent feeling towards all  beings,
And observe penance and sacred vows in the forest,
Is the divine one who is in all beings ,
And is my only source  of support.

7) Na Vidhyathe Yasya Cha Janma Karma Vaa,
Na Naama Roope Guna Dosha Yeva Vaa,
Thadhapi Lokaapya Ya Sambhavaya Ya,
Swa Mayaya Thaanyunukala Mruchathi

He does not have either birth or Karmas,
He does not have any name  or properties,
And he does not have any faults as he is beyond nature,
And in spite of that he assumes several forms,
At different times to carry out the creation and upkeep of the world

8) Thasmai Nama Paresaaya Brahmane Anatha Shakthaye,
Aroopyo Roopaya Nama Aascharya Karmane

Salutations to him who does wonderful acts,
Who is beyond birth and death and the Brahman

Neither has a form or is formless

Namo Giraam Vidhooraya Maanasa Schethasam Api

From the activities of the mind and its faculties.

Nama Kaivalya Nadhaya Nirvana Sukha Samvidhe

Sarvaa Gamaamnaya Maharnavaya Namo Apavargaya Parayanaya

Salutations to him who is the ocean of Thanthras,
To the personification of saintliness and refuge of the great.

Salutations to the God of boundless compassion,
Who frees those ignorant beings from the ties of this world,
As soon as they surrender to him though ,

And he also shines in the minds of all as their own soul,
Though he himself  is the limitless Para Brahman.

Can visualize by their heart,
And see him by the practice of yoga.

Who has all the characteristics, Who protects those who surrender to him,
And who cannot be attained by those who have not won over their senses.

Tham Durathyaya Maahatmyam  Bhagawantha Mitho Asmyaham

I am searching that God, whose power can never be surpassed,
And due to the illusion of ego created by him,  people think that ,
Their body is their soul and are not able to understand their real soul.
