Ardhanareeswara Stotram with Lyrics

Ardhanarishwara represents the quintessential divine encompassing both the masculine and feminine. It also represents a form that transcends gender.
This is a musical offering by Anahata to Him and Her. The Ardhanareeswara Stotra was composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
Lyrics and Meaning:
Champeya Gaurardha Sharirakayai
Karpura Gaurardha Sharirakaya |
Dhammillakayai Cha Jatadharaya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |1|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva
To Her whose body shines similar to molten gold,
To Him whose body shines like the burning camphor,
To Her who has a well made up hair,
And to Him who has the matted lock.
Kasturika Kumkuma Charchitayai
Chitaarajahpunja Vicharchitaya |
Krutasmarayai Vikrutasmaraya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |2|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her whose body is smeared with musk and saffron,
To Him whose body is smeared with ashes of a burning ghat,
To Her whose prettiness radiates love,
And to Him who destroyed the God of love.
Jhanat Kvanat kankana Nupurayai
Padabja Rajat Phani Nupuraya |
Hemaamgadayai Bhujagangadaaya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |3|
My salutations to both Prvathi and Shiva,
To Her who has tinkling pretty anklets,
To Him who has the king of snakes as anklet,
To Her who shines with golden anklets,
And to Him who has snakes as anklets.
Vishalanilot Palalochanayai
Vikasipankeru Halochanaya |
Samekshanayai Vishamekshanaya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |4|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her who has eyes as wide as the blue lotus,
To Him who has eyes as wide as a fully opened lotus,
To Her who has even number of eyes,
And to Him who has odd number of eyes.
Mandara Maala Kalitaalakayai
Kapaalamalan Kitakandharaya |
Divyambarayai Cha Digambaraaya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |5|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her whose hair is decorated with divine flowers,
To Him who wears a garland of skulls,
To Her who dresses in great silks,
And to Him wearing the eight directions.
Ambhodhara Syamala Kuntalayai
Tatit Prabha Taamra Jatadharaya |
Nirishvarayai Nikhileshwaraya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |6|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her who has black hair like the swollen cloud,
To Him who has copper matted locks like lightning,
To Her who is the goddess of the mountains,
And to Him who is the Lord of the universe.
Prapancha Srishtyun Mukhalaasyakayai
Samasta Samhaaraka Tandavaya |
Jagat Jjananyai Jagadekapitre
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |7|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her whose dance marks the creation of the world,
To Him whose dance destroys everything,
To Her who is the mother of the universe,
To Him who is the father of the universe.
Pradipta Ratnojjvala Kundalayai
Sphuran Mahapannaga Bhushanaya |
Sivanvitayai Cha Sivanvitaya
Namah Shivaayai Cha Namah Shivaaya |8|
My salutations to both Parvathi and Shiva,
To Her with glittering earrings of gems,
To Him who wears a great serpent as an ornament,
To Her who is divinely merged with Shiva,
And to Him who is divinely merged with Parvathi.
Etatpathed Ashtakam Ishtadam Yo
Bhaktya Sa Manyo Bhuvi Dirghajivi
Prapnoti Saubhagya Manantakalam
Bhuyat Sada Tasya Samasta Siddih
Those who chant this Ardhanarishwara Stotram with bhakthi will be blessed long respectful life and will be blessed with all they wish to to have in their lifetime.
