Today is Maha Shivaratri and here is an offering of “ Śrī Mahēśvara Pan̄caratna Stōtram” rendered by Dr. M Balamuralikrishna. This recording is from the good old days of AIR’s Bhakti Ranjani.

Here are the lyrics for the Stōtram which is attributed to Adi Shankaracharya.

prātassmarāmi paramēśvara vaktrapadmaṁ
phālākṣi kīla pariśōṣita pañcabāṇam
bhasma tripuṇḍra racitaṁ phaṇikuṇḍalāḍhyaṁ
kundēndu candana sudhārasa mandahāsam || 1️⃣ ||

prātarbhajāmi paramēśvara bāhudaṇḍān
khaṭvāṅga śūla hariṇāḥ pinākayuktān
gaurī kapōla kucarañjita patrarēkhān
sauvarṇa kaṅkaṇa maṇidyuti bhāsamānām || 2️⃣ ||

prātarnamāmi paramēśvara pādapadmaṁ
padmōdbhavāmara munīndra manōnivāsam
padmākṣanētra sarasīruha pūjanīyaṁ
padmāṅkuśa dhvaja sarōruha lāñchanāḍhyam || 3️⃣ ||

prātassmarāmi paramēśvara puṇyamūrtiṁ
karpūra kunda dhavalaṁ gajacarma cēlam
gaṅgādharaṁ ghanakapardi vibhāsamānaṁ
kātyāyanī tanu vibhūṣita vāmabhāgam || 4️⃣ ||

prātassmarāmi paramēśvara puṇyanām
śrēyaḥpradaṁ sakaladuḥkhavināśahētum
saṁsāratāpaśamanaṁ kalikalmaṣaghnaṁ
gō kōṭidāna phalitaṁ smaraṇēna puṁsām || 5️⃣ ||

Śrīpañcaratnāni mahēśvarasya
bhakyā paṭhēdyaḥ prayataḥ prabhatē |
āyuṣyam ārōgyam anēka bhōgān
prāpnōti kaivalyapadaṁ durāpam || 🌸 ||
