Sri Shivarama Ashtaka Stotram

Shiva! Hara! friend of Shiva and Ram, O lord; remover of the three kinds of suffering, O all-pervading one; O unborn, lord of beings, O Yadava — protect me. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

Lotus-eyed Ram, ocean of mercy; Hara, guru, protector of the elephant, guardian of cows; O embodied one, Bhavashankara — protect me. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

Delighting the good, a temple of auspiciousness — whoever worships your supreme attainment finds wonderous happiness. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

Victory to the beloved of Yudhishthira, lord of the earth; victory to the ocean of earned merit; victory to gracious Krishna, homage to you. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

O Madhava who release from worldly bondage, lord of Lakshmi; swan in the lake of fine poets, dear to Shiva; O Raghava beloved of Janaka — protect me. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

O lord who brings fortune to the whole earth, O Ram beautiful as a cloud, lord of Rama; guardian, ocean of the fame and virtue praised by the Vedas. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

O Madhava, your spotless fame is sung as the vine of names that purifies the fallen; still why do you neglect me? Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

O supreme god above the gods, lord of Rama — your wealth of names is beyond comparison, ever victorious; how will mercy be born on me, O ocean of compassion? Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

O lord, bearer of the bow dear to Hanuman; O guru, he who bears the Ganges on his head — O all-pervading one, have you forgotten me? Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.

Whoever recites daily this beautiful stotra composed by Shiva-Rama, joy to all people, enters the lotus feet of Ram and Rama. Shiva Hara, grant me the boon of victory.
