Shri Dayananda Panchakam Lyrics in Hindi:
सदा स्मेरवक्त्रं कृपापूर्णनेत्रं स्थिरं दीनमित्रं जनप्रीतिपात्रम् ।
सुविज्ञातशास्त्रं कषायाक्तवस्त्रं दयानन्दरूपं मदाचार्यमीडे ॥ १॥
परब्रह्मनिष्ठं स्वतो धर्मनिष्ठं अहिंसैकनिष्ठं स्वशिष्यैः सुजुष्टम् ।
यतीनां वरिष्ठं गुरूणाङ्गरिष्ठं दयानन्दरूपं मदाचार्यमीडे ॥ २॥
सुशास्त्रे चरन्तं सदा सञ्चरन्तं जनान् बोधयन्तं भवादुद्धरन्तम् ।
मठांस्थापयन्तं गुरून् पूजयन्तं दयानन्दरूपं मदाचार्यमीडे ॥ ३॥
कलानां प्रचारं दधानं विनम्रं स्वयं ग्रन्थकारं सतां मानितारम् ।
नमत्तापहारं स्वयं निर्विकारं दयानन्दरूपं मदाचार्यमीडे ॥ ४॥
सदा शान्तमूर्तिं सदा क्षान्तिमूर्तिं सदा दान्तिमूर्तिं सदा सत्यमूर्तिम् ।
प्रमाणप्रवृत्तिं दिशन्तं सुकीर्तिं दयानन्दरूपं मदाचार्यमीडे ॥ ५॥
इदम्पञ्चकं यः पठेच्छुद्धचित्तः सदा मोक्षमार्गे नितान्तं प्रवृत्तः ।
प्रसादात् स शास्तुर्भवेज्ज्ञानयुक्तः स जीवन्मृतो वा भवेन्नित्यमुक्तः ॥
इति श्रीपरमार्थानन्दविरचितं श्रीदयानन्दपञ्चकं समाप्तम् ।
