Verse 2 I worship that Lord who shines resplendently upon His white bull, whose brilliance humbles even the pride of Kubera and the splendor of Mount Kailasa. His elephant-skin garment is tinged with the vermilion from Goddess Uma's embrace, and He is the very seed that destroys all sins. Verse 3 I praise Lord Mrida, whose three eyes radiate divine light like the rising sun, whose crescent moon shines day and night, and whose flowing matted locks rejoice as the sacred Ganga dances through them. Verse 4 May my mind abandon all worldly pleasures and remain forever absorbed in Lord Shiva, the matted-haired One crowned with the crescent moon, clad in elephant hide, and the Supreme Absolute Reality. Verse 5 The crowns of Indra and other gods shatter as they bow at Your divine threshold. O Lord of the Pramathas, why should we seek the fleeting wealth of heaven when we may instead attain Your eternal presence? Verse 6 May I attain that sacred mountain where Your attendants worship You with flowers gathered from celestial wish-fulfilling trees, where perfected beings dwell, and where divine fragrance fills every direction. Verse 7 O Hara, may my mind never delight in worldly pleasures or become captivated by desire. Instead, may I dwell beside the sacred Ganga, worshipping You day and night with unwavering devotion. Verse 8 May the divine Ganga flowing through Your matted locks nourish the celestial wish-fulfilling tree that blesses all who bow before You. May that sacred vision forever bestow blessings upon me. Verse 9 Having withdrawn the senses from worldly attractions and absorbed the mind in meditation upon the all-pervading Lord Pashupati, I adore the crescent moon resting upon His head beside the sacred river of heaven. Verse 10 O Lord, may my mind enter the pure currents of the heavenly Ganga flowing through Your matted locks. May it dwell among the forests on her sacred banks, in the company of great sages performing austerities, fragrant with blooming jasmine, forever immersed in Your divine presence. #HarHarMahadev #Ravana #ShivaStotram #OmNamahShivaya #BhaktiSongs
