This Stotra is in Sanskrit. It is a very beautiful creation of Adi Shankaracharya.
There are twelve very auspicious God Shiva temples in India. Adi Shankaracharya
tells us the importance of each temple and describes God Shiva and bowing to him.

1 God Shiva is looking very lustrous in Sourashtra, He has worn moon on his head, he
has incarnated for offering his blessing to his devotees and for the protection of all
people. I bow and surrender to God Shiva and request him to protect me.
2 Shri Shailya mountain is very famous. It is a meeting place of many Saints, Rushies and
munies. They perform their worships and poojas and tapas and dhynam on this Shailya
mountain. God Shiva always lives here. He helps the devotees in their spiritual progress.
He is called as God Malikarjun over here. I bow and surrender to him.

from all bondage of life and Offer his blessing to those who have a fear of untimely
death. His name is Suresh and Mahakal. I bow and surrender to him.

God Shiva always lives for the protection of all the people. God Shiva is called as
Omkarnath or Amaleshwar, Vimaleshwar or Sadashiv over here. I praise him. I bow and
surrender to him.

offering them all types of happiness, pleasures and Mukti i.e. making them free from

and Rakshas (demons) at BhimaShankar for looking after his devotees and for their
protection. I bow to him.

India). River Tamrparni ends here in the sea. I bow to God Rameshwara (God Shiva) and
always offer my prayers to him.

bank of river Godavari and on the Sanhyadri Mountain. God Shiva is called as
