Śiva-nāma-sahasraka-kathana
The Recital/Teaching of the Thousand Names of Śiva
पूर्णः पूरयिता पुण्यः सुकुमारः सुलोचनः । सन्मार्गमप्रियो धूर्त्तः पुण्यकीर्तिरनामयः
pūrṇaḥ pūrayitā puṇyaḥ sukumāraḥ sulocanaḥ | sanmārgamapriyo dhūrttaḥ puṇyakīrtiranāmayaḥ
وہ کامل ہے، مرادیں پوری کرنے والا، پاکیزہ و پُنّیہ سوروپ؛ نرم خو اور خوش چشم۔ جو سَنمارگ سے ہٹے ہوں اُن کے لیے نامانوس، مایا کو بھی فریب دینے والا؛ اس کی کیرتی پُنّیہ بخش ہے اور وہ بے مرض ہے۔
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Type: stotra
Offering: pushpa
This verse praises Shiva as Pati—the complete and faultless Lord—whose grace fulfills the devotee’s highest good, purifies karma, and leads beyond affliction toward liberation.
These epithets function as a stuti used in Saguna worship: the devotee approaches Shiva through name and form (often the Jyotirlinga), while recognizing His transcendence as the Perfect One beyond worldly grasp.
Practice Shiva-nāma-japa (especially with the Panchakshara, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and recite such stutis before a Linga/Jyotirlinga with bhakti, cultivating purity (puṇya) and freedom from inner “disease” (anāmaya).
