Mrityunjaya Astotram

Jai Shiva Shankar,

All credit goes to KOSMIC MUSIC.

This Stotram was said to have been written by Sage Markandeya after being saved by Lord Shiva (as Kala Samhara Murti). Lord Shiva saves Markandeya then a boy from the clutches of death/time (Yama/Kala). I feel the essence of this stotram lies in the half recurring anushtup chanda (Anushtup chanda is a verse of 32 syllables):

Namami sheerasadevam, kimno mrityu karishyate,

which means:

I bow down my head to you Lord Shiva,What harm will death do to me?

So even death is coming to get you, if you have Lord Shiva on your side then death can not harm you!

Namami sheerasadevam, kimno mrityu karishyate,

Vamdevam, Mahadevam, loknatham, jagatgurum,
Namami sheerasadevam, kimno mrityu karishyate,

Namah shivay samba, haraye paramatmaney,

Utpati stiti samhara, kartar meeshwaram gurum,
Namami sheerasadevam, kimno mrityu karishyate,

Markandeya kritam stotram, yaspathet shiva sanidhou,
Tasya mrityu bhayam nasty na agni chora bhayam kwachita

Namah shivay samba, haraye paramatmaney,
Pranat klesh nashaye, yoginaam pataye namah,

Shatavritum prakartavya, sankate kasht nashanam,
Shuchir bhutva pathe stotram, sarva siddhi pradayakam,

Mrityunjaya mahadeva, trahimam sharanagatam,
Janma mrityun jadharogehi, peeditam karma bandhanehi

Namah shivay samba, haraye paramatmaney,
Pranat klesh nashaye, yoginaam pataye namah,

Namah shivay samba, haraye paramatmaney,
Pranat klesh nashaye, yoginaam pataye namah,

Pranat klesh nashaye, yoginaam pataye namah.

Apologies for any mistakes and thank you for your comments in advance.

Jai Shiv Shankar

@ndave001 .this was created by sage markandey himself who was destined to die at 16.according shiv mahapuran and padma puran

[Luxmidevi16]

@kpatnet This is composed by Sage Markandeya, the son of Sage mirikandu. Both Sages were famous and great Shiva devotees and Gurus of the Shiva tradition. The song is very beautiful ang sung with great devotion by the singer. The video pictures are lovely and very appropriate for the song.

[Luxmidevi16]

This is a very beautiful song composed by Sage Markandeya,after he was cured of a deadly sickness. This song was dedicated to Shiva on behalf of the healer / who was a Sage, a wise medical man. A Maha Rishi. T.B was a common desease at that time. Shiva's Names such as Somanatha, Vydyanatha and Chandrasekara all represent the healing prowess of the great sages in the name of Shiva. This is a great song, sung beautifully, and Video is well presented. Jothy- Wisdom. "Jothinampathaye Namaha".

[Luxmidevi16]

I listen to this song everyday and recomend it to others as well. It reveals Lord Shiva's True qualities so well. Shirasa Devam, Namashivaya Samraya Haraye Paramathmaye, Anatham Paramanantham. All very beautiful and meaningfull written by Sage Markandeya to his beloved Protector. Very beautifully sung. Lovely voice.
