Ardhanari Nateshvar Stuti


Salutations for Shiva, Who has a jasmine colored half-form in the semi-male-semi-female form of Ardhanarishvara, and Who has beautiful curly hairlocks; Salutations to Shiv, Who has a camphor colored half-form in the semi-male-semi-female form of Ardhanarishvara, and Who has tress-locks at His forehead.||1||

Salutations for Shiva, Who is covered with musk-paste, and Who creates desires in mind (or evokes Kamdev); Salutations for Shiv, Who has ashes from funeral pyre smeared over His body, and Who destroys desires within our mind (or destroyed Kamdev).||2||

Salutations for Shiva, Who has trembling and tinkling gold-anklets, and Who has a golden arm-bracelet; Salutations for Shiv, Who is possessing a snake-anklet in His lotus-feet, and Who has an arm-anklet of snake.||3||

Salutations for Shiva, Who has large blue lotus-like eyes, and Who has equal eyes (as a pair); Salutations for Shiv, Who has bloomed lotus-like eyes, and Who has unequal eyes (as a pair).||4||

Salutations for Shiva, Who has tresses adorned with the garland of Mandara flower, and Who is adorned by divine-dresses; Salutations for Shiv, Who has a garland of skull-caps around His shoulders, and Whose only dress are the directions.||5||

Salutations for Shiva, Who has cloud-like dark and dense tress-locks, and Who is subordinate to none; Salutations for Shiv, Who has copper-like red hair-tresses, and Who is the Lord of everyone.||6||

Salutations for Shiva, Who dances to create the universe with various manifestations, and Who is the Mother of the whole world; Salutations for Shiv, Who dances tandav and destroys the whole world, and Who is the only father of the world.||7||

Salutations for Shiva, Who has shiny earrings made of resplendent jewels, and Who is accompanied by Shiv; Salutations for Shiv, Who has shiny and resplendent large snakes as His earrings, and Who is accompanied by Shiva.||8||

That person, who reads these eight-cantos with devotion, is respected and lives long in this earth. [He] attains eternally faithful luck and attains various perfect powers.||9||
