Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Shaiva stotra tradition of Srisailam; popularly attributed to Adi Shankaracharya
Author: Adi Shankaracharya (traditional attribution)
Period: c. 8th century CE (traditional)
Srisailam, set amid the Nallamala hills on the Krishna river, is among the most ancient and revered shrines of Lord Shiva, where he is worshipped as Mallikarjuna ('Arjuna worshipped with jasmine / mallika') and his consort as Bhramaramba. It is at once one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and one of the eighteen Maha Shakti Peethas. Devotees and acharyas have long offered 'mangalam' hymns here, blessing the Lord and the holy mountain. This Mangalashasanam, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, weaves together the Lord's grace-bestowing nature and the many sacred shrines, fords and forms found upon Srisailam.
