The Linga worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, and all the gods,
the Linga that is pure and radiant,
the Linga that destroys the sorrows of this mortal birth,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga worshipped by the sages,
the destroyer of of Kama, yet, the ever-compassionate,
the crusher of Ravana's arrogance,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga that is enriched with divine fragrances
the One that causes expansion intellect,
the One who is revered by the Siddhas, Devas, and Asuras,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga decorated in gold and precious jewels,
ever-radiant, garlanded by the king of serpents,
the Linga that destroyed the sacred fire of Daksha,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga covered in saffron and sandalwood paste,
garlanded with lotuses that bring radiance,
the Linga that washes away all sins,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga that receives reverence and offerings from the gods,
the Linga that is worshipped with pure devotion,
the Linga that is as resplendent as a million suns,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga surrounded in eightfold petals,
the Linga that is the source and cause of all creation
the Destroyer of all eight forms of poverty,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The Linga worshipped by the Master of the Gods and the Gurus,
the Linga who is laden with the divine flowers,
the Linga who is higher than all, the supreme self,
to that Sadashiva Linga, I humbly bow.
The one who recites this Lingashtakam with a pure heart
will be granted his refuge and his divine protection.
