Pashupati Ashtakam Meaning:
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who is the lord of all beings
Who is the lord of the moon
Who is the lord of the world
Who is the lord of the universe
Who is the Lord of Sathi Devi
And who destroys the sorrows of his devotees
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
For when you are going to the god of death
Neither father nor mother nor brother
Nor sons nor your family with many members
Can ever save you for sure
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who is an expert in playing small and big drums
Who is very clever in singing the panchama tune
And who is served by bhoothas like pramadha
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who gives protection and pleasure to those who approach
Who is worshipped by people as “Shiva” “Siva” “Shiva”
And who is the protector and sea of mercy
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who decorates himself with skulls of humans
Who wears ear studs made of snakes
Who wears a garland of snakes
Who has a flag of a bull
And who is white due to applied ash from the ground of cremation
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who destroyed a fire sacrifice
Who adds the moon’s crescent to himself
Who always gives blessing to those who do fire sacrifices
And who burns man Devas and Asuras at the time of deluge
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Leaving the arrogance which is in your mind for long
Realizing that the world is fully fear struck
Of death birth and old age
Hey man pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain
Who is worshipped by Vishnu, Brahma, and Indra
Who is saluted by lords of death, ocean and wealth
Who has three eyes and fearful when he nears
The Man Who Always Reads or Hears
This Wonderful Octet on The Lord Of All Beings
Written by Soori who is the King of the World
Would reach the world of Shiva and Happily Live There
