Śrī Jagannātha Aṣṭakam
By Śrī Ādi Śaṅkarācārya
1.
kadācit kālindī-taṭa-vipina-saṅgīta-kaḷalo
mudābhīrī-nārī-vadana-kamalā-svāda-madhupaḥ |
ramā-śambhu-brahmāmara-pati-gaṇeśārcita-pado
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
May Lord Jagannātha, who sometimes plays melodious flute music in the groves on the bank of the Yamunā, delighting the gopīs like a bee tasting the nectar of lotus faces,
whose feet are worshipped by Lakṣmī, Śiva, Brahmā, Indra, and Gaṇeśa —
may that Jagannātha be the object of my vision.
2.
bhujā-bhīruṇḍa-śreṇī-rucira-ruciraṁ nīla-śikharaṁ
ciraṁ yātrā-kārīṁ nara-pati-patīṁ śaṅkara-gatam |
rasānando rādhā-sahacara-vilāsāmṛta-laho
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
May Lord Jagannātha, whose blue peak-like form is decorated by rows of strong arms, who is always sought by kings and devotees,
who enjoys ever-new bliss in the company of Rādhā —
may that Jagannātha be visible to my eyes forever.
3.
kripā-pārāvāraḥ sajala-jalada-śreṇī-ruciraḥ
naṭākrīḍā-lolaṁ nāyana-sudṛśāṁ nanda-sutavat |
sadā-premonmādaḥ prasara-parirambhaḥ kalayati
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
May Lord Jagannātha, the ocean of compassion, who is resplendent like a monsoon cloud,
who performs playful pastimes as a dramatic dancer and enchants the hearts of His devotees like the son of Nanda,
who is always immersed in divine love and embraces His devotees —
may that Jagannātha be the object of my eyes.
4.
mahāmbhodheḥ tīre kanaka-rucire nīla-śikhare
vasan prāsādaṁ svāmī nija-purataḥ sadā-vasati |
rathārūḍhaḥ gacchan pathi milita-bhūdevapatalaiḥ
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
May Lord Jagannātha, who resides on the golden shore of the great ocean, on the blue mountain in His majestic palace,
who eternally dwells there and appears before His devotees,
who rides on His chariot surrounded by demigods as He travels the grand path —
may that Jagannātha be seen by my eyes.
5.
paraṁ brahma śambhuṁ gaṇapati-mukhānīśa-damitaṁ
rasānandaṁ rādhā-sahacara-kalā-lola-madhuram |
mahānandaṁ vande sakala-sukhadāṁ tattvam ajaraṁ
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
I bow to that supreme bliss, the Supreme Brahman, worshipped by Śiva and Gaṇeśa,
full of sweet loving pastimes with Rādhā, source of joy for all, beyond time and decay —
may that Jagannātha appear before my eyes.
6.
na vai yāce rājyaṁ na ca kanaka-māṇikya-vibhavaṁ
na yāce 'haṁ ramyāṁ sakala-janakāmyāṁ varavadhūm |
sadā kāle kāle pramatha-patita-nāthaṁ bhajatāṁ
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
I do not ask for kingdom, gold, jewels, or beautiful brides desired by all.
I only ask that I may always remember and serve Lord Jagannātha, the refuge of the fallen.
May He always be visible before my eyes.
7.
hara tvaṁ saṁsāraṁ drutam asaraṇaḥ kleśa-bahulaṁ
samutkrāntaṁ jātaṁ pathi nipatitaṁ karma-yugalam |
kathā-kāle prāpte smaraṇa-vidhuraṁ māṁ khalu dayāṁ
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
O Jagannātha! Please quickly remove my sufferings in this sorrowful ocean of saṁsāra.
I am helpless, fallen by the force of karma, and deluded at the time of death.
Be merciful to me and let me see You even then —
may You remain the vision of my eyes.
8.
jagannāthāṣṭakaṁ paṭhati sakṛd eva priyatamaḥ
paṭhed yo bhaktyā śuddha-cittaḥ sa pūruṣottame |
vased viṣṇoḥ lokaṁ sa khalu sukhadaṁ prema-janakaṁ
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ||
One who even once recites this Jagannātha Aṣṭakam with devotion and a pure heart,
will reside in the supreme abode of Viṣṇu, full of bliss and love.
May Lord Jagannātha always be the focus of my vision.
