Ligashtakam



Lyrics
Brahmamurari surarchitalingam nirmalabhasita sobhita lingam
Janmaja dukka vinasakalingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Devamuni pravararchitalingam kamadahana karunakaralingam
Ravanadarpa vinasakalingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Sarvasugandha sulepitalingam buddivivardhana karanalingam
Siddasurasura vanditalingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Kanaka mahamani bhushitalingam phanipati vestita sobhitalingam
Dakhasuyagna vinasanalingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Kumkuma chandana lepita lingam pankajahara susobhitalingam
Sanchitapapa vinasana lingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Devaganarchita sevita lingam bhavairbhaktirevacha lingam
Dinakarakoti prabhakara lingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Astadalopari vestithalingam sarvasmudva karanalingam
Astadaridra vinasana lingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Suruguru suravara poojita lingam surapushpa sadarchita lingam
Paramapadam paramatmakalingam tatpranamami sadasivalingam

Lingastakamida punyam yapathe shivasannidhou shivaloka mavapnoti shivena sahamodithe
