Sri Shastra Bhujanga Stotram

1.    I worship Lord Bhuthanatha, the wish-fulfilling gem of bliss, ever radiant with the light of consciousness and joy, the boundless supreme effulgence.
    2.    He is realized through the Vedas and Vedanta, steadfast in Brahman, radiating divine brilliance like countless suns, bestower of sacred power.
    3.    Protector of devotees, destroyer of ignorance and worldly darkness, embodiment of love and purity — the supreme light itself.
    4.    Merciful, resplendent on the peaks of Kailasa, adored by gods and sages alike — the Lord of luminous wisdom.
    5.    Beautiful from head to foot, shining with the brilliance of a million suns, holding the sacred staff of Dharma — I adore that radiant Lord.
    6.    United with the powers of Hari and Hara, manifesting as the hunter (Kirata) to uplift the world, crowned with peacock feathers, overflowing with compassion.
    7.    Residing on the great seat of Yoga, serene and self-effulgent, teaching the essence of mahavakya to sages, spreading divine knowledge.
    8.    Dwelling within the heart’s forest, slaying the wild beast of ego, moving as the Kirata — the radiant flame of self-realization.
    9.    Present within all elements, the source of consciousness, the eternal foundation praised in the scriptures — the timeless supreme reality.
    10.    The life of the universe, dispeller of delusion, foundation of bliss, the transcendent fourth state (Turiya) of realization.
    11.    The giver of joy in both worlds, the supreme refuge of existence, the radiant lotus of consciousness.
    12.    Abiding in the three forms of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the destroyer of afflictions, united with divine energy.
    13.    Flowing through the subtle channels of Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, shining in the crown center, revealing eternal nirvana.
    14.    The reflection of the One Supreme within all beings, full of grace, compassion, and eternal light — the soul’s refuge.
