नमामीशमीशान निर्वाणरूपं, विभुं व्यापकं ब्रह्मवेदस्वरूपम्। निजं निर्गुणं निर्विकल्पं निरीहं, चिदाकाशमाकाशवासं भजेऽहम् ॥ १॥ निराकारमोंकारमूलं तुरीयं, गिरा ज्ञान गोतीतमीशं गिरीशम्। करालं महाकाल कालं कृपालं, गुणागार संसारपारं नतोऽहम् ॥ २॥ तुषाराद्रि संकाश गौरं गभीरं, मनोभूत कोटि प्रभा श्री शरीरम्। स्फुरन्मौलि कल्लोलिनी चारु गङ्गा, लसद्भालबालेन्दु कण्ठे भुजङ्गा ॥ ३॥ चलत्कुण्डलं भ्रू सुनेत्रं विशालं, प्रसन्नाननं नीलकण्ठं दयालम्। मृगाधीशचर्माम्बरं मुण्डमालं, प्रियं शंकरं सर्वनाथं भजामि ॥ ४॥ प्रचण्डं प्रकृष्टं प्रगल्भं परेशं, अखण्डं अजं भानुकोटिप्रकाशम्। त्रयः शूल निर्मूलनं शूलपाणिं, भजेऽहं भवानीपतिं भावगम्यम् ॥ ५॥ कलातीत कल्याण कल्पान्तकारी, सदा सज्जनानन्ददाता पुरारी। चिदानन्द संदोह मोहापहारी, प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रभो मन्मथारी ॥ ६॥ न यावत् उमानाथ पादारविन्दं, भजन्तीह लोके परे वा नराणाम्। न तावत् सुखं शान्ति सन्तापनाशं, प्रसीद प्रभो सर्वभूताधिवासम् ॥ ७॥ न जानामि योगं जपं नैव पूजां, नतोऽहं सदा सर्वदा शम्भु तुभ्यम्। जरा जन्म दुःखौघ तातप्यमानं, प्रभो पाहि आपन्नमामीश शम्भो ॥ ८॥ रुद्राष्टकमिदं प्रोक्तं विप्रेण हरतोषये। ये पठन्ति नरा भक्त्या तेषां शम्भुः प्रसीदति ॥

Namami shamishan nirvaanaroopam, vibhum vyaapakam brahmavedasvaroopam. Nijam nirgunam nirvikalpam nireeham, chidaakaashamaakaashavaasam bhajeham.

Namami Shamishan English Meaning
I bow to the Lord, the ruler of all, the form of liberation, who is all-pervading, the very embodiment of the Vedas. He is self-existent, devoid of qualities, without change, without desire, the consciousness that fills space, I worship Him who dwells in space. Formless, the root of Omkara, beyond the three states, beyond speech and knowledge, I bow to the Lord of the Mountains, the formidable one. The destroyer of time, the kind one, the treasure of all qualities, I bow to Him who takes us across the ocean of worldly existence. His form is as white as a mountain of snow, profound, with a body that shines with the brilliance of millions of Cupids. He has a flowing Ganga adorning his head, a crescent moon on his forehead, and snakes around His neck. With moving earrings, beautiful eyebrows and wide eyes, with a cheerful countenance, with a blue throat, compassionate. Wearing the hide of a tiger, with a garland of skulls, I worship the beloved Shankara, the Lord of all. Fierce, excellent, courageous, the Supreme Lord, unbroken, unborn, with the light of millions of suns. He who uproots the three kinds of pain, holding a trident, I worship Bhavani's Lord, attainable through devotion. He is beyond time, auspicious, the ender of cosmic cycles, the giver of eternal joy to the virtuous, the destroyer of Tripura. The embodiment of pure bliss, remover of delusion, be pleased, be pleased, O Lord, the destroyer of Cupid. Until they worship the lotus feet of Uma's Lord, whether in this world or the next, men shall not attain happiness, peace, or the end of suffering. Be pleased, O Lord, who dwells in all beings. I do not know yoga, chanting, or worship, I bow to you always, O Shambhu. Suffering from old age, birth, and floods of sorrow, O Lord, protect me, I have taken refuge in you, O Lord Shambhu. This Rudrashtakam was spoken by a Brahmin for the pleasure of Hara (Shiva). Those who recite this with devotion, upon them Shambhu is pleased.
