Word breakdown
- शिवायेति शब्दो नमःपूर्व एष
- The word Shivaya preceded by Namah,
- स्मरन्मुक्तिकृन्मृत्युहा तत्त्ववाची
- remembering which grants liberation, slays death, speaks truth -
- महेशान मा गान्मनस्तो वचस्तः
- O Maheshana, may mind and speech never cease from it;
- सदा मह्यमेतत्प्रदानं प्रयच्छ
- always grant me this gift.
May mind and speech never cease chanting Shivaya; grant this boon, O Maheshana. The five-syllable mantra is both liberator and death-slayer, the devotee's sole requested treasure.
