Shiva Panchanana Stotra Lyrics with Meaning

Praleyachala Mindu Kunda Davalam  Goksheera Phena Prabham,
Bhasmabhyanga Mananga Deha Dahana Jwaala Valee Lochanam,
Vishnu Brahmarul Ganarchitha Padanjargwedha Nadhodhayam,
Vandeham Sakalam Kalanga Rahitham Sthanormukham Paschimam

I salute the western face of the ever stable God ,
Who is everything and without any trace of stain,
Who is as white as snow mountain, moon and the jasmine,
Who is as shining as the foam of the boiling milk,
Who has a body applied with white sacred ash,
Who has eyes which burnt the body of god of love,
Who is worshipped by Vishnu , Brahma and Ganas,
And whose reverberations give rise to Rig Veda.

Gouram Kumkuma Pangilam Suthilakam Vyapandu Ganda Sthalam,
Broovikshepa Kadaksha Veekshshana Lasad  Samsaktha Karnodhphalam,
Snighdham Bimbaphaladharam Prahasitham Neelala Kalamkrutham,
Vande Yajusha Veda Gosha Janakam  Vakthram Harsyotharam

I salute the northern face of Lord Shiva,
Which gives rise to the sound of Yajur Veda,
Who is white and has a thilaka of Kumkum,
Who shines with an  extremely white neck,
Who shines with shifting side long glances,
Who is affectionate and has lips as red as a cherry,
And who is pretty with his blue hair locks and his smile.

Samvarthagni Thadith Prathaptha  Kanaka Praspardhi Thejo Mayam,
Gambeera Dhwani  Sama Veda Janakam  Thamradharam Sundaram,
Ardhendu Dhyuthi Phaala Pingala  Jata Bhara Prabhadhoragam,
Vande Sidha Surasurendra Namitham  Poorvam Mukham Soolina

I salute the eastern face of the holder of the trident,
Who is worshipped Sidhas, devas, asuras and their kings,
Who has more shine than the Gold purified again and again,
Who is the source of Sama Veda recited in regal tone,
Who has red pretty lips of the colour of copper,
And who has decorated his matted locks,
With the crescent of the moon and a serpent

Kalabhra Bramaranjana Dhyuthi Nibham Vyavartha Pingekshanam,
Karnodhbasitha Bhoghi Masthaka Maniprothphulla Damshtrakuram,
Sarpa Prothaka Pala Shukthisaka Lavyakeernasachhekaram,
Vande Dakshina Meswarasya Vadanachaadharva Vedhodhayam

I salute the southern face of the God of all,
Which gives rise to the Atharva Veda,
Who has the shine of black cloud , bee and Collyrium,
Who has brown eyes which rotate,
Who has teeth which are clearly seen in the shine in the light ,
Of the Gem in the heads of the snakes which reside in his ears,
And who has the shine of the crescent in the head decorated by the snake

Vyaktha Vyaktha Niroopitham Cha Paramam Shad Thrimsa Thathwadhikam,
Thasmad Uthara Thatwa  Maksharamithi Dheyyam Sada Yogibhi,
Omkaaradhi Samastha Manthra Janakam Sookshmadhi Sookshmam Param,
Vande Panchamamneeswarasya  Vadanam Kham Vyapi Thejo Mayam

I salute that fifth face facing the sky of Iswara ,
Which is divine and greater than greatest,
Which is greater than the thirty six principles,
That cannot be classified as clear or unclear,
Which is meditated upon by great sages,
As the greatest and deathless principle,
Which is the origin of mantras like “Om”,
And which is smaller than the smallest

Yethani Pancha Vadananbi Maheswarasya,
Ye Keerthayanthi Purusha Sathatham Pradoshe,
Gachanthi They Shiva Purim Ruchirair Vimanai,
Kredanthi Nandana Vane Saha Loka Palai

Than man who reads this great prayer,
Addressed to the five faces of the great God,
Without fail on the Pradosha days,
Would travel in a pretty airplane to the town of Shiva,
And would spend his time playing with Gods
