Trayivastu vyastam tisrishu guna-bhinnasu tanushu,Ībhavyanam asmin varada ramaniyama ramanim Tavaisvaryam yat taj jagadudaya raksa pralayakrit
O Brahman! Do even Brihaspati’s praises cause wonder to You, the author of the nectar-like sweet Vedas? 0 destroyer of the three cities, the thought that by praising Your glories I shall purify my speech has prompted me to undertake this work. Punam ityarthe’smin puramathana buddhir vyavasita. Mama tvetam vanim guna kathana punyena bhavatah Tava brahman kim vag api suraguror vismaya padam, Madhu sphita vacah paramam amritam nirmitavatas Who can properly praise that which even the Vedas describe with trepidation, by means of’ ‘neti-neti / not this, not this’? How many qualities does He possess? By whom can He be perceived? Yet whose mind and speech do not turn to the form later taken by Him (saguna) || 2 || Shiv Mahimna Stotram – Text 3: Your greatness is beyond the reach of mind and speech. Pade tvarvacine patati na manah kasya na vacah. Sa kasya stotavyah katividha gunah kasya vishayah || 1 || Shiv Mahimna Stotram – Text 2:Ītitah panthanam tava ca mahima vanmanasayorĪtad vyavrttya yam cakita mabhi dhatte shrutirapi, If no one can be blamed when they praise You according to their intellectual powers, then my attempt to compose a hymn cannot be reproached. If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of’ Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. Mamapyeshah stotre hara nirapavadah parikarah Stutir brahma dina mapitadava sannastvayi girah,Ītha vacyah sarvah svamati parina mavadhi grinan
