Daridraya Dahana Shiva Stotram — Complete Lyrics

I bow to Lord Shiva, the lord of the universe, who helps cross the ocean of hell, whose words are nectar, adorned with the crescent moon, white as camphor radiance, with matted locks — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.

I bow to Shiva, beloved of Gauri, who bears the moon's digit, who conquered death, who wears the king of serpents as a bracelet, who bears the Ganga, who crushed the king of elephants — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.

I bow to Shiva, lover of devotion, who removes the fear and disease of worldly existence, who is fierce, who helps cross the difficult ocean of birth and death, who is full of light, who dances to the songs of virtuous names — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.

I bow to Shiva, who wears animal skin, who smears himself with cremation ash, who has an eye on his forehead, adorned with gem earrings, with anklets on both feet, bearing matted locks — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.

I bow to Shiva, the five-faced one, adorned with the king of serpents, wearing golden garments, who decorates the three worlds, who grants the land of bliss, who pervades darkness — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.

I bow to Shiva, beloved of the sun, who helps cross the ocean of existence, who destroyed death, worshipped by Brahma, three-eyed, marked with auspicious signs — who BURNS AWAY POVERTY AND SUFFERING.
