మూలం & కథ
Traditional Shiva dhyana / vandana shloka (Shaiva tradition) · Unknown (traditional) · Classical
This anuṣṭubh-like dhyana verse is a popular standalone Shiva salutation recited across temples and homes. Its structure — every clause opening with 'Vande' — makes it a continuous act of bowing, gathering many of Shiva's iconic names and forms (Shambhu, Umapati, Pashupati, the serpent-adorned, the deer-holding, the three-eyed, the friend of Vishnu) into a single concentrated prayer. Such dhyana shlokas are traditionally placed at the beginning of worship to fix the mind on the form of the deity.
✦ శాస్త్రాలలో చెప్పినట్లు
Devotees hold that calling on Shiva as 'Pashunam Patim' — the lord of all beings — and as 'Bhaktajanashrayam,' the refuge of devotees, brings his protective grace; many recount that sincere repetition of this salutation steadies the heart in fear and grief, for the boon-giving Lord (Varadam) is said never to abandon one who bows to him.

అర్థం:I bow to Shambhu, the lord of Uma and the Guru of the gods; I bow to the cause of the universe. I bow to the One adorned with serpents, who holds a deer; I bow to Pashupati, the lord of all beings. I bow to the One whose three eyes are the sun, the moon and fire; I bow to Him who is dear to Vishnu. I bow to the refuge of devotees and the giver of boons — I bow to Shiva, to Shankara.
