શિવ પઞ્ચાક્ષર સ્તોત્ર
Shiv Panchakshar Stotra in Gujarati · ગુજરાતી
ઉત્પત્તિ અને કથા
Attributed to Adi Shankaracharya · Adi Shankaracharya (traditional) · c. 8th century CE
The Panchakshara — 'Namah Shivaya' — is the heart-mantra of Shaivism, drawn from the Yajurveda's Shri Rudram. This stotra, traditionally ascribed to Adi Shankaracharya, garlands the five sacred syllables, devoting a verse to each so that the very letters of the mantra become a complete meditation on the form and glory of Mahadeva.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
The Shiva Purana extols the Panchakshara as the essence of all mantras, able to liberate even the greatest sinner. By weaving the five syllables into five verses, this stotra lets the devotee worship Shiva head to foot with every repetition — and its own words promise the abode of Shiva to all who recite it with faith.
