Word breakdown
- योगक्षेमधुरन्धरस्य सकलश्रेयःप्रदोद्योगिनो
- protector of welfare and gain of all good for yogis
- दृष्टादृष्टमतोपदेशकृतिनो बाह्यान्तरव्यापिनः
- teacher of seen and unseen, pervading inner and outer
- सर्वज्ञस्य दयाकरस्य भवतः किं वेदितव्यं मया
- O all-knowing gracious one, what need for me to inform You
- शम्भो त्वं परमान्तरङ्ग इति मे चित्ते स्मराम्यन्वहम्
- O Shambhu, You are my innermost; thus I remember You daily
Shiva already knows all, inner and outer; the devotee need not inform Him. Calling the Lord one's innermost is the Advaita recognition that the Self is the intimate witness of every thought.
