हैमाष्टकम्

॥ हैमाष्टकम् ॥

स्वयम्भू राजते शिवः धृत्वा हैमम् अलौकिकम् ।
स्वयञ्च लुप्यते यश्च स्मारयन् जीवितं क्षुद्रम् ॥१॥
Having taken the form of Ice, Shiva shines as self-originated. He himself disappears having reminding us that the life is momentary. 


विभूतिं दर्शयन् स्वस्य भक्तानाकर्षति स्वयम् ।
पर्वते चापि पाषाणे नयत्यप्राकृतं शुभम् ॥२॥
He attracts the devotees having shown his significant form. He leads us through Mountains and Rocks for the supernatural bliss.

नद्या धावितौ चरणौ तस्यामेकीभवन्मरो ।
बोधयन् मायाऽस्थिरतां जायते ह्यमरो नाथः ॥३॥
Your feet are washed by the River and you merged into that River being as a mortal. Thereby, you show that Maya is not immortal but you become immortal.

सेव्यमानः कपोताभ्यां सुखदुःखे श्वेतनीले ।
जीवनस्य क्रमागते पक्वं करोति मानसम् ॥४॥
You are served by the two pigeons (white and block ones) showing the world that Happiness and Sorrow are in the form of block and white and thereby making our minds mature. 

ददद् श्रान्तिं गते मार्गे शीतं करोति सन्निधौ ।
पीडां विस्मृत्य ते रूपे हैमे मज्जति मानवः ॥५॥
Make us to feel tired, though in your proximity make us cool. So all men drowned in your form of ice having forgotten their pains.

शिखरे च समासीनः सर्वं पश्यति शीतलम् ।
घर्मं करोति देहं च शीतले हिमपर्वते ॥६॥
Having sat on the mountain top you see everything cool. You make our body heat in the cold Himalayan Tops.

झराणां प्रवहद्धाराऽनुकम्पारसस्य ते ।
दयाऽक्षयाऽस्तु ते पूर्णा शैवं भवतु ते वरम् ॥७॥
We see the falls on the Himalayas as the stream of your Karuna. Let that stream of Karuna be everlasting and complete and your boon be a welfare.

कैलासे राजते नित्यं योगमुद्रां ददत्सदा ।
शीतलं चक्षुरुन्मील्य मासस्द्वौ पश्यति भृशम् ॥८॥
You shine in the Kailash forever having holding Yoga posture. Ho, it is our fortune that you see us with your cold eye at least for two months.

य इदमष्टकं भक्त्या पठेत्प्रतिदिनं नरः ।
यात्रायाः फलमाप्नोति हैमो देवः प्रसीदति ॥९॥
Those who read this Astaka daily with devotion would get the Punya of Amarnath Yatra and Ice-God would be pleased.
