Chidambareshwara Stotram


kripaa samudhram, sumukham, thrinethram,
jatADharam, pArvathi vAma bhAgam,
sadhAshivam, rudhramanantha roopam,
chidhambaresham hrdhi bhAvayAmi.

क्रिपा समुद्रम्, सुमुखम्, त्रिनेत्रम्,
जटाधरम्, पार्वति वाम भागम्,
सदाशिवम्, रुद्रमनन्त रूपम्,
चिदम्बरेशम् ह्र्दि भावयामि.    

क्रिपा समुद्रम्  = ocean of grace, सुमुखम् = handsome,  त्रिनेत्रम् = three-eyed
जटाधरम् = matted locks, पार्वति वाम भागम्, = Parvatiji to the left side
सदाशिवम् = always kind, रुद्रम् = angry, अनन्त रूपम् = limitless forms
 चिदम्बरेशम् = Lord of Chidambaram, ह्र्दि भावयामि = meditate on

I meditate on that Lord of Chidambaram,
Who is the ocean of mercy,
Who has a pleasant mien (handsome),
Who has three eyes,
Who has matted locks,
Who keeps Parvatiji on his left side,
Who is ever peaceful,
And who is limitless and angry.

वाचामतीतम् फणि भूषणागम्
गनेश तातम् धनस्य मित्रम्
कन्दर्प नाशम्, कमलोत्पलाक्षम्
चिदम्बरेशम् ह्र्दि भावयामि    

I meditate on that Lord of Chidambaram,
Who is beyond words,
Who wears the serpent as ornament,
Who is the father of Ganesa,
Who is the friend of Kubhera,
Who destroys pride,
And who has eyes like the lotus flower.

रमेशवन्द्यम् रजताद्रिनाथम्
श्री वामदेवम्  भव दुखनाशम्
रक्षाकरम् राक्षस पीरीतानाम्
चिदम्बरेशम् ह्र्दि भावयामि

I meditate on that Lord of Chidambaram,
Who is worshipped by Lord Vishnu,
Who is the lord of the silver mountain,
Who judges and awards punishments,
Who destroys the sorrow of the world,
And who protects those troubled by rakshasas.
