Traditional Shaiva stotra on the Shadakshara (six-syllable) mantra · Unknown (traditional) · Ancient / classical
The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' is the heart of Shaivism, its core 'Namah Shivaya' drawn from the Shri Rudram of the Yajurveda and prefixed with the praṇava Om to form the six-syllabled Shadakshara. This stotra garlands those six syllables, devoting a verse to each so that the very letters of the mantra become a meditation on the form, mount, ornaments and grace of Mahadeva, culminating in a verse on Shiva as the all-pervading Guru of the gods.
✦ ശാസ്ത്രങ്ങളിൽ പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ
Tradition holds that the Shadakshara 'Om Namah Shivaya' is the king of mantras, capable of liberating even the gravest sinner, and that uttering it even once at the hour of death turns the mind to Shiva. By dwelling on each of its six syllables in turn, this stotra lets the devotee worship Shiva completely with a single short prayer — and its own words promise the abode of Shiva to all who recite it with faith.
