गुरु अष्टकम (श्री आदि शंकराचार्या द्वारा रचित)
शरिरम सुरूपम सदा रोग मुक्ताम
यसचरू चित्राँ धनम मेरु तुल्याँ,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
कलात्रँ धनम पुत्रपोत्राधी सर्वाँ,
गृहाँ बंधवाँ सर्वमेताधि जठम,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
षडंगाढी वेदो मुखे सासरा विधया ,
कवितवाधि गध्यम , सूपध्यम करोती,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं. 3
वीदेसेश्ू माँया, स्वडेसेश्ू दाँया,
सदाचरा वृतेशु मतो ना छा अन्या,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं. 4
क्षमा मंडाले भूपा भूपाला वृंडई,
सदा सेवितम यस्या पदरविंडम,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं. 5
यसो मे गथम बीक्शु दाना प्रतपा,
जगद्वतु सर्वाँ करे यह प्रासदट,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं. 6
ना भोगे, ना योगे, ना वा वजिराजौ,
ना कांता सूखे नैइवा वितेशु चित्म,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
अरन्ये ना वा स्वस्या गहे ना करएे,
ना दहे मानो वार्थतमत वानार्ज्ए,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
गुरोर अष्टकाम या पड़ेत पुण्या दही,
यथिर भूपतिर , ब्रह्मचारी छा गही,
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
ळबेथ वंचितरतम पदम ब्रह्मा संज्नाम,
गुरुवर् उकता वाकये, मानो यस्या लज्नम्
मानस्चेन्ना लज्नम् गुरोरंगरी पद्मे,
तथा कीं तथा कीं, तथा कीं तथा कीं.
GURU ASHTAKAM
(Eight stanzas in praise of the Guru by Adi Shankaracharya)
Shariram Surupam sada roga muktam
Yashashcharu chitram dhanam meru tulyam
Manashchenna lagnam Guroranghri padme
Tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim
Kalatram dhanam putrapaotradi sarvam
Gruham bandhavaha sarvam etaddhi jatam
Manashchenna lagnam…………….
Shadangadi Vedo mukhe shastra vidya
Kavitvadi gadyam supadyam karoti
Manashchenna lagnam………..
Videsheshu manyaha svadesheshu dhanyaha
Sadachara vruteshu matto na chanyaha
Manashchenna lagnam…………….
Kshama mandale bhoopa bhoopala vrundaihi
Sada sevitam yasya padaravindam
Manashchenna lagnam……………….
Yasho me gatam dikshu dana pratapat
Jagadvastu sarvam kare yat prasadat
Manashchenna lagnam……………..
Na bhoge na yoge na va vajirajao
Na kanta mukhe naeva vitteshu chittam
Manashchenna lagnam………………..
Aranye na va svasya gehe na karye
Na dehe mano vartate me tvanarghya
Manashchenna lagnam……………….
Gurorashtakam yah pathet punya dehi
Yatir bhoopatir brahmachari cha gehi
Manashchenna lagnam……………….
Labhed vanchhitartham padam Brahma saondyam
Gurorukta vakye mano yasya lagnam
Manashchenna lagnam……………….
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Though your body be comely and ever remain in perfect health
Though your name be unsullied, and mountain-high your hoarded gold
yet if the mind be not absorbed in the Guru’s Lotus Feet
What will it all avail you? What indeed will it all avail?
Even if fortune blesses you with riches and a virtuous wife
With children and their children, with friendship and the joys of home
Though the lore of the vedas take up its dwelling on your tongue
Though you be learned in scripture, gifted in writing prose and verse
Even if you be honored at home and famed in foreign lands
Given to pious deeds and ever averse to wickedness
Though you become, at last, the emperor of the universe
Though you possess for servants the mightiest of kings of the earth
Even if every nation resounds with your beneficence
yet if the mind be not absorbed in His lotus Feet, by whose grace everything in this world is won
Though you pursue no pleasures, derive no happiness from wealth or spouse
Reject the powers of yoga, and scorn the fruits of sacrifice
Even if you are ready to dwell in the forest as at home
No more attached to work, unstrained by the body
That noble soul who ponders these verses in the Guru’s praise
of all ascetics and students, of all rulers and worldly men
Will attain the Brahman, the treasure coveted by all
By applying his mind with constant zeal to the Guru’s teaching
