Karpura Gauram Karunavataramकर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारम्
By Traditional Vedic / Shiva Stuti
Ancient Sanskrit stuti in praise of Lord Shiva, describing his compassionate and transcendent divine form.
- Verse 1
कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारम् भुजगेन्द्रहारम्। सदावसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि॥
Karpura-gauram karunavataram sansara-saram bhujagendra-haram. Sada vasantam hridayaravinde bhavam bhavani-sahitam namami.
भावार्थ
कर्पूर के समान श्वेत कान्ति वाले, करुणा के साक्षात् अवतार, संसार के सारभूत, सर्पराज को हार रूप में धारण करने वाले तथा माता पार्वती सहित हृदय कमल में सदैव वास करने वाले भगवान शिव को मैं नमन करता हूँ।
Meaning
I bow to Lord Shiva accompanied by Mother Bhavani, who is radiant white like camphor, the embodiment of compassion, the essence of worldly existence, garlanded by the serpent king, and ever abiding in the lotus of the heart.
