About this stotra
Shiva Namavalyashtakam strings together the many epithets of Mahadeva - Chandramauli, Girisha, Vishvanatha, Mrityunjaya, and more - in eight devotional verses. Each verse gathers a cluster of sacred names and ends with the refrain begging Jagadisha to save the singer from samsara's grief.
