Sri Shivananda Lahari !! Lyrics & Its meaning 81 – 90

Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Oh! Lord Umamahesha, whoever immersed in the veneration of your lotus feet, meditation, circumambulates and prostrates before you and whoever finds immense pleasure in listening your glorious myths and visit your holy abodes on the sacred lands, whoever sung and praising the glories of you and experience the bliss would be treated as liberated soul.
Oh! Aryapathey , Lord Vishnu manifested in various forms such as arrow, bull, consort of you and acquired  half of your body, took the form of wild boar, close associate of you, female companion of you, holding your divine drum.  Lord Vishnu was all set to offer his lotus eye instead of lotus flowers on your feet and became part of you.  Thus, Lord Vishnu remains the most venerable amongst the honorable, if not who else is greater than Him?
Whoever worships the Supreme Lord Shiva with his consort Goddess Sri Parvati, who has no birth and death would attain the greatest among the pieties and eternal bliss, such as liberation from the cycles of birth and death.  There is no doubt in the matter that the worship of deities who has birth and death does not bring any kind of bliss.
Oh! Supreme Lord Shiva, Oh! Creator of the Universe, Oh! Omnipresent Lord, Oh! The Lord of Ocean of Mercy, Oh! Compassionate Lord,  I offer the maiden of my supreme intellect and virtues in the relentless serve of you and Goddess Sri Gauri.  I earnestly pray to you to dwell in my heart as well.
Oh! Indumouley, who has adorned Lord Chandra on matted hair locks, I have no intelligence in me to churn the ocean, I have no power or strength in me to rupture the Pathal Loka,  I am not a proficient hunter in the woods, therefore how it would be possible for me to offer food/venom, flowers/Lord Chandra, Jewels/Venomous serpents, and clothes/skin of elephant and tiger for you?
Oh! Lord Umapathi, Oh! Vibho, I have collected all the ingredients required for the veneration of you.  How did I worship you?  I have no capabilities of a swan or wild boar, thus I am unaware of your matted hair locks or lotus feet.  Even Lord Brahma who took the form of a swan and Lord Vishnu who transformed into wild boar were unfortunate to envision you.
Oh! Lord Shambu, all you requires is venom as food, serpent as jewels, skin of elephant and tiger as attires and your celestial vehicle is bull.  Thus, what would you give me?  What did I ask from you?  Therefore I earnestly request you to provide me firm devotion at your lotus feet.
Oh! Lord Shiva,   I will become competent to venerate you and sung praising the glories of you, when I become proficient like Lord Rama who built Sethu bridge across the vast ocean, Sage Agasthya who held the Mount Meru on his palm and pressed down on the earth and when I surpass Lord Brahma in intellect who was born from the navel of Lord Vishnu.
Oh! Lord Parameshwara, you are extremely pleased and satisfied with the shot of arrows (by Arjuna), beatings with the pestle (by an elderly woman and ardent devotee) and fling of stones (by a hunter/Kannappa Nayanar), ironically you are least pleased by veneration or meditation or singing and praising the glories of you.  I earnestly request you to tell me which will make you happier; I would love to perform the same.
Oh! Lord Shambu, I am not proficient in Yogic practices,  I am pleased to narrate your glorious myths.  Oh! Lord Parameshwara, I meditate upon you and envision your glorious form before my eyes and I prostrate and bow my head down before Lord Sadashiva.

Thiruvennainallur Thirupathikam sung by Thiru Sundaramurthi Nayanar !!

 
 
 
 
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thiru Alala Sundarar was a passionate devotee of Lord Shiva relentlessly served Lord at Thiru Kailayam/Mount Kailash.  It was the will of Lord Shiva to send Alala Sundara on Earth.  Once, Alala Sundarar was immersed in plucking fresh flowers for the worship of Lord was distracted by two young maidens and deviated from his work  eventually caused him to undergo the curse of Lord Shiva.     Due to the curse Alala Sundarar was born to a pious Brahmin couple who lived in Thirunavallur, Thirumunaipadi.  These couples Chadayanar and Isaignani Ammayar were zealous devotees of Lord Shiva, they named the child Nambiyaroor.  At the right age of marriage Nambiyaroor was decided  to marry Shadangavi, during the time of marriage ceremony Lord Shiva appeared in the form of an old Brahmin as promised earlier to Alala Sundarar and declared that Nambiyaroor was owned by him, it created heated argument between the two.   Further, the argument was settled in Thiruvennainallur , the old Brahmin ordered Nambiyaroor to sing.   Thus, Nambiyaroor sung praising the supreme Lord Shiva as ‘Piththa’/Crazy in his verses.
 
Oh! Supreme Lord Shiva, Oh! Piththa, who is glorious and decked the crescent moon on matted hair locks, dwells in the shrine of Thiruvaduthurai in Thiruvennainallur located on the river banks of Pennayar resides in my heart as well, consequently you have saved me and made me to bear in mind that I am your servant always.  Pardon me for the blunder, publicly refused to accept you as my Master.

Sri Shivananda Lahari !! Lyrics & Its meaning 71 – 80

Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Oh! Supreme Lord Shiva, an intelligent person overcomes his sins like enemies with the rope of unblemished and firm devotion tied in the bow of mind's eye with the sharp arrows of devotion to Lord and eventually attains Saroopya Lakshmi of triumph in the form of eternal bliss.
Oh! Supreme Lord Shiva, your devotees who are systematically aware of your splendor removes the darkness of ignorance through the collieries of meditation.  Whoever praise your lotus feet which is decked with the serpents as jewels and ultimate shelter for the deities, they would achieve greatest of the devoutness in their life.
Oh! Wise Mind, immerse your thought at the lotus feet of supreme Lord Parameshwara who is venerated by Lord Vishnu, consort of Goddesses Sri Devi & Bhudevi personified as wild boar.  It is the ultimate asylum for liberation and hence worships relentlessly.  Is there anything superior to it?
The firm devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Parameshwara will remove the impurities such as desires, attachment and grief; ultimately fills the basket of mind with enthralling fragrances of persona.
Oh! Lord Vrushabadhirooda/ who is seated on the celestial vehicle Vrushabam/bull, vanquisher of Lord Manmatha ! Oh! Leader of entire world!  I earnestly pray to mount on the horse like my mind and accomplish your voyage, which has possessed auspiciousness, unique and capable to provide pleasures, swift and has the skill to reveal the internal thoughts by gestures, faultless and has possessed certain unwavering qualities.
Whose mind is devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Maheshwara and pond like heart is filled with the fondness to Lord, his life would attain the eternal bliss.
The intellectuals who are closely attached to the lotus feet of Lord Maheshwara with staunch devotion, by constantly remembering the lotus feet of Lord, an earnest desire to attain the lotus feet would envisions the supreme Lord by praising the glories of him, immersed in the prayers of him, just like a devoted wife go through the pangs of separation from her husband.
Oh! Lord, raise the intellect of mine which is immersed in the selfless service of virtuous, modest, abundance of goodness; I earnestly pray to protect the intellect of mine like a newly wedded bride was taken good care by her husband.
Oh! Lord Shambhu, Your supple lotus feet are venerated by the Yogis in their lotus like heart.  How did you thrash the hard and strong doors like chest of Lord Yama? I am too anxious about the lotus feet of yours.  I earnestly pray to reveal those lotus feet of yours which spanked the Lord Yama.  I will carry it safely on my hands.
Oh! Lord Shambu, You are aware of my birth and also known the harshness of my mind, you have already made up your mind to dance on it to protect me, with those tender feet that were already danced on the harsh mountain.  If not, why did you choose to dance on the rocky surface when there are abundance of space in your celestial homes, bed of flowers and spacious porticos?
