Pratah Smarana Stotram tradition, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya · Traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya · Classical (associated with the 8th century CE)

The 'Pratah Smarana' (dawn remembrance) hymns form a cherished class of morning prayers in the Hindu tradition, with verses devoted to Shiva, Vishnu and the Devi. The Shiva Pratah Smarana Stotram, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, was composed so that a devotee's very first thought on waking would be of Lord Shiva. Its three verses deliberately ascend from Shiva as the loving, ornament-bearing Lord, to the cosmic cause of the universe, to the attributeless Absolute of Vedanta — teaching that the same Shiva is both the personal deity of devotion and the infinite reality of knowledge.

ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

Sages teach that the mind takes on the quality of whatever it dwells upon first at dawn; by remembering Shiva — the 'peerless medicine for the disease of worldly existence' — at the very start of the day, the devotee is said to be guarded through the day from fear and turned steadily toward liberation.

'Pratah Smarana' means 'remembrance at dawn.' It is a short three-verse hymn recited first thing in the morning to remember, bow to, and worship Lord Shiva, beginning the day with his name and grace.
Each verse ends with 'Samsara-roga-haram-aushadham-advitiyam' — 'the one without a second, the medicine that removes the disease of worldly existence.' Shiva is the cure for samsara, the endless cycle of birth, fear and suffering, healed by his remembrance and grace.
The first verse describes Shiva's gracious personal form (Gangadhara, bull-rider, Lord of Ambika). The second describes his cosmic role as cause of creation, preservation and dissolution. The third describes his absolute, formless nature — infinite, knowable through Vedanta, beyond name and change.
It is traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya. As a 'pratah smarana' (dawn remembrance), it is ideally chanted at sunrise or immediately upon waking, as the first devotional act of the day.
