188: Ganga Jatâdhara Gaurî Shankara Girijâ Mana Ramanâ

Text


(Jaya) Ganga Jatadhara Gauri Shankara Girija Mana Ramana
Mrutyum Jaya Mahadeva Maheshwara Mangala Subha Charana
Nandi Vahana Naga Bhushana
(Sai) Nirupama Guna Sadana
Natana Manohara Nilakantha Sai
Niraja Dala Nayana 



Meaning

O Lord Shankara! Bearer of the Ganges. Thou art pleasing to Goddess Girija. O Lord of Lords, Lord Maheshwara! Worshipping Thy auspicious Lotus Feet secues liberation. O Merciful Lotus-Eyed Lord with the blue-neck! Thou hast the cobra as ornament and bull Nandi as vehicle.
Salutations to Lord Shiva who holds Ganga in His matted hair. He is the Lord of Gauri, the immortal One, and is the divine dancer who has Nandhi as His vehicle. He who is adorned with serpents around His blue neck, is the repository of incomparable qualities.
