اے وہ ذات! جس کا پاکیزہ کیرتی دھام برہما وغیرہ دیوتاؤں، مُنیوں اور کِنّروں کے گائے ہوئے منتخب گیتوں سے گونجتا ہے اور جسے شُدھ چِت سے یاد کیا جاتا ہے—آپ کو نمسکار۔ دیوی دیوتاؤں کے کمل جیسے مُکُٹ، زیورات اور ہاروں سے آراستہ، پوجنیہ و دلکش آپ کے پدم چرنوں کو نمोऽستु۔

Type: stotra
Offering: pushpa
It presents Shiva as Pati—the supreme Lord whose glory is intrinsically pure and realized through both praise (stotra) and inner contemplation (śuci-ciṃtana), culminating in surrender at His lotus-feet.
Though it praises Shiva’s lotus-feet in personal (saguṇa) devotion, the focus is on His kīrtti-dhāma—His stainless divine majesty—supporting Linga-worship where the devotee approaches the transcendent through a sacred, worship-worthy form.
Practice śuci-ciṃtana—pure-minded meditation on Shiva’s glory—along with devotional recitation of hymns; mentally place offerings at His lotus-feet as an inner pūjā, ideally accompanied by japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya).
