नागेन्द्रहाराय त्रिलोचनाय भस्मांगरागाय महेश्वराय।
नित्याय शुद्धाय दिगम्बराय तस्मै न काराय नम: शिवाय ॥1॥

मन्दाकिनी सलिल चन्दन चर्चिताय नन्दीश्वर प्रमथनाथ महेश्वराय।
मन्दारपुष्प बहुपुष्प सुपूजिताय तस्मै म काराय नम: शिवाय ॥2॥

शिवाय गौरी वदनाब्ज वृन्द सूर्याय दक्षाध्वर नाशकाय।
श्रीनीलकण्ठाय वृषध्वजाय तस्मै शि काराय नम: शिवाय ॥3॥

वसिष्ठ कुम्भोद्भव गौतमार्य मुनीन्द्रदे वार्चित शेखराय।
चन्द्रार्क वैश्वानरलोचनाय तस्मै व काराय नम: शिवाय ॥4॥

यक्षस्वरूपाय जटाधराय पिनाकहस्ताय सनातनाय।
दिव्याय देवाय दिगम्बराय तस्मै य काराय नम: शिवाय ॥5॥

फल श्रुति

पंचाक्षरमिदं पुण्यं य: पठेत शिव सन्निधौ।
शिवलोकम अवाप्नोति शिवेन सह मोदते ॥6॥
