Rudrashtakam रूद्राष् 35;क स्तोत्र
By Tulsidas

ॐ नमः शिवायः ।

नमामीशम 68;शान निर्वाण रूपं, विभुं व्यापकं ब्रह्म वेदः स्वरूपम्&zwn j; ।
अजं निर्गुणं निर्विकल 81;पं निरीहं, चिदाकाश माकाशवास 06; भजेऽहम्‌ ॥ १॥

O Ishan! I pray You, the one Who is the lord of all, Who is in eternal Nirvana-bliss, Who is resplendent, Who is omni-present, and Who is Brahman and Ved in totality. I adore You, Who is for self, Who is formless, Who is without change, Who is passionless, Who is like the sky (immeasurable), and Who lives in the sky.||1||

निराकार मोंकार मूलं तुरीयं, गिराज्ञा 44; गोतीतमीश 06; गिरीशम्‌ ।

करालं महाकाल कालं कृपालुं, गुणागार संसार पारं नतोऽहम्‌ ॥ २॥

I bow prostrate to You, Who is without a form, Who is the root of sounds, Who is the fourth impersonal state of the Atman, Who is beyond the scope of tongue, knowledge and sense-organs, Who is the Lord, Who is the Lord of Himalaya, Who is fierce, Who is the destroyer of fierce Kala, Who is benevolent, Who is the abode of qualities, and is beyond the universe.||2||

तुषारा 42;्रि संकाश गौरं गभीरं, मनोभूत कोटि प्रभा श्री शरीरम्‌ ।

स्फुरन् 50;ौलि कल्लोलिन 68; चारू गंगा, लसद्भाल बालेन्दु कण्ठे भुजंगा॥ ३॥

I bow to You, Who is white on all like the snow, Who is profound, Who is mind, Who is in the form of living beings, Who has immense splendor and wealth. He has shining forehead with playful and enticing Ganga, He has shiny forehead with a crescent moon, and He has snake garlands in the neck.||3||

चलत्कुण& #2381;डलं शुभ्र नेत्रं विशालं, प्रसन्ना 44;नं नीलकण्ठं दयालुम्‌ ।
मृगाधीश चर्माम्ब 52;ं मुण्डमाल 06;, प्रिय शंकरं सर्वनाथं भजामि ॥ ४॥
I adore Shankara, Who has swaying earrings, Who has beautiful eye on the forehead, Who is spreadout and large, Who is happy at face, Who has a blue-throat, Who is benevolent, Who has a lion-skin around His waist, Who has skull-cap garland, and Who is the dear-Lord of everyone.||4||
प्रचण् 37;ं प्रकृष्ट 06; प्रगल्भं परेशं, अखण्डं अजं भानु कोटि प्रकाशम्&zwn j; ।

त्रिधाश 70;ल निर्मूलन 06; शूल पाणिं, भजेऽहं भवानीपति 06; भाव गम्यम्‌ ॥ ५॥

I adore the Lord of Bhavani, Who is fierce, Who is immense, Who is mature and brave, Who is beyond everyone, Who is indivisible, Who is unborn, Who is resplendent like millions of sun, Who uproots the three qualities (and makes us dispassionate), Who holds a trident, and Who can be achieved with emotions.||5||

कलातीत कल्याण कल्पान्त 25;ारी, सदा सज्जनान् 42; दाता पुरारी।

च 67;दानन्द सन्दोह मोहापकार 68;, प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रभो मन्मथारी ॥ ६ ॥

O Destroyer of Kamadev, Who is beyond artwork, Who is auspicious, Who causes the end of the universe, Who always provides bliss to good people, Who destroyed Pura, Who is eternal bliss, Who absolves abundant passion! O Prabhu! Please be happy, be happy.||6||

न यावद् उमानाथ पादारविन 81;दं, भजन्तीह लोके परे वा नराणाम्‌ ।

न तावद् सुखं शांति सन्ताप नाशं, प्रसीद प्रभो सर्वं भूताधि वासं ॥ ७॥

Those who don't adore the lotus-feet of the Lord of Uma (Shiv), that men don't get happiness, comfort, and peace — in this world or the other worlds after death. O the abode of all the living beings! O Prabhu! Please be happy.||7||

न जानामि योगं जपं नैव पूजा, न तोऽहम्‌ सदा सर्वदा शम्भू तुभ्यम्‌ ।

जरा जन्म दुःखौघ तातप्यमा 44;ं, प्रभोपाह 67; आपन्नामा 50;ीश शम्भो ॥ ८ ॥

I don't know yoga, japa (chanting of names), or prayers. Still, I am bowing continuously and always to You. O Shambhu! O Prabhu! Save me from the unhappiness due to old age, birth, grief, sins, and troubles. I bow to You, Who is the Lord.||8||

रुद्राष& #2381;टकमिदं प्रोक्त् 40;ं विप्रेण हरतोषये ।
 ये पठंति नरा भक्त्या तेषां शंभु:प्रस 368;दति ॥९॥

॥ इति श्रीगोस् 57;ामितुलसी& #2342;ासकृत श्रीरुद् 52;ाष्टकं सम्पूर्ण 50;् ॥
