ब्रह्ममुरारि सुरार्चित लिङ्गं निरमलभासित शोभित लिङ्गम्।
जन्मज दुःख विनाशक लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
देवमुनि प्रवरार्चित लिङ्गं कामदहं करुणाकर लिङ्गम्।
रावण दर्प विनाशन लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
सर्व सुगन्ध सुलेपित लिङ्गं बुद्धि विवर्धन कारण लिङ्गम्।
सिद्ध सुरासुर वन्दित लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
कनक महामणि भूषित लिङ्गं फनिपति वेष्टित शोभित लिङ्गम्।
दक्ष सुयज्ञ विनाशन लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
कुङ्कुम चन्दन लेपित लिङ्गं पङ्कज हार सुशोभित लिङ्गम्।
सञ्चित पाप विनाशन लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
देवगणार्चित सेवित लिङ्गं भावैर भक्ति भिरेव च लिङ्गम्।
दिनकर कोटि प्रभाकर लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
अष्टदलोपरि वेष्टित लिङ्गं सर्व समुद्भव कारण लिङ्गम्।
अष्ट दरिद्र विनाशन लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
सुरगुरु सुरवर पूजित लिङ्गं सुरवन पुष्प सदार्चित लिङ्गम्।
परात्परं परमात्मक लिङ्गं तत् प्रणमामि सदाशिव लिङ्गम्॥
लिङ्गाष्टकमिदं पुण्यं यः पठेत् शिव सन्निधौ।
शिवलोकमवाप्नोति शिवेन सह मोदते॥
Meaning · अर्थ
In plain terms, Lingashtakam praises shiva and asks for protection, clarity, and steadiness of mind. Recitation is traditionally paired with a clean shrine space, a lamp, and a calm evening pace rather than rushed scrolling. Lingashtakam glorifies the linga worshipped by Brahma and Vishnu, destroyer of suffering, adorned with bilva, and giver of devotion’s fruit. Ideal after jal-abhishek in Sawan. Where audio is linked, treat it as a listening aid. Pronunciation and melody vary by region; choose a version your household trusts.
