![Sadashiva Ashtakam is an Stotram dedicated to Lord Shiva. Those who chant this Ashtakam daily will be blessed with health and wealth in their life. This stotra is from Halasya Puranam, and is a prayer to Sundareswarar of Madurai. This is written by Sage Pathanjali one of those for whom Lord Shiva danced in Chidambaram. Here goes the English text or lyrics of Sadasiva Astakam. Sadashivastakam Lyrics in : Sadashivastakam Lyrics Meaning: Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who resides in the holy building near the tank of golden lotus*, Who is as brilliant as billions of suns, Who is liked by he who rides on a bird, Who lives with Parvati, And who wears the snake on his head. [*The temple pond in the city of Madurai is called the pond of the golden lotus.] Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who has on his head the river which fell from the sky [Ganges], And the piece of moon shedding nectar, Who has moon, friend of lotus and fire as eyes, Who wears snakes as ear studs, And who is the friend of all who do good deeds. Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who is praised by the four Vedas sung by four faces of Brahma, Who shines because of his merger with the sister of the four armed, Who blesses us with just duty, assets, love and salvation, And who has a form of the vigorous male dancer. Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who is very pretty like the autumn moon with a smile, Who shines with the luster to his face added by his red lips, Who holds a skull in his one free hand, And who has got the sister of Lord Vishnu. Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who gave the holy wheel with the brilliance of thousand solar systems, To Him who took his own eye to offer to Him, When he found that one flower was less out of thousand lotuses . [When Lord Vishnu was trying to do pooja with Shiva Sahasranama, one flower was missing. He plucked his eye and offered it.] Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who travels in the pretty chariot of earth, Who uses Lord Vishnu as powerful arrow, Who has a bow made of the Mountain Meru, For which the great snake has been tied as string, Whose chariot is driven by Brahma, With the four holy Vedas as horses. Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who gave protection to those who attended the Yaga of Daksha, When they started trembling before efficient Veerabhadra [who was sent by Lord Shiva to destroy the fire sacrifice of Daksha] with his lion likeroar, And who was the witness to the billions of the universe who heard the roar Forever salutations to the peaceful one, Who blesses us with prosperity and who is ever peaceful, Who took the punishing stick to save the son of Mrukandu from dying, Whose pretty neck further shines because of the crescent moon, And who blesses all those who pray for pleasure, wealth and salvation. Salutations to the ever peaceful God, Whose lotus like feet are worshipped By enemies of Madhu and other devas, Who has the golden mountain as his bow, And who is the lord of the silver hall [Rajatha Sabhai in Madurai Temple]. Salutations and salutations to the handsome dancer, Who is the great god and lord of town of Madurai, Who stopped the poison called halahala in his neck, And who is the lord of the devi with eyes like fish. God told:- He who reads this prayer composed you with devotion, Will be given long life, health and wealth by me.Sadashiva Ashtakam is an Stotram dedicated to Lord Shiva.
