CHINMAYA SHIVAM

Avyagrah mean one who is unmoved and unaffected. Even while involved in great deeds of war against evil forces and while giving punishments, Lord Shiva doesn't become restless, bewildered or tensed. The punishments are only for purifying and correcting the jivas or embodied souls and not an outcome of hatred, as all the beings are a part of himself and the lord doesn't forget it even for a moment. The Lord's kind and pleasing nature is not affected by the deeds of war or punishing activities. The Lord is above love and hatred. He just gives the fruit for our own karma

Hari means Lord Vishnu. Hari is one of the popular and important names of Lord Vishnu which is a part of this hymn of Shiva . This evidently proves the oneness of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. In Harivamsha Lord Shiva says to Lord Vishnu, "O Govinda , the great names of yourself which are honoured by the world are mine also. There is no doubt in it."

Harati iti harih - The Lord takes away our sorrows and hence this is another meaning of this name.

Avyaya means One who is changeless. All the physical things that exist have six stages of changes. Shiva doesn't go through these changes. The six changes are - is, born, grows, transforms, wears out and diminishes. These changes don't occur to Shiva as he always exists. There is neither growth nor decrement in him. He has no birth and therefore no death.

This name also means - One who does not become less. Vyaya - one in whom there is some subtraction or decay. The Lord is changeless. This indicates the Nirgun Niraakaar aspect of the Lord. In Saguna Saakaar rup there are changes, movements etc.

Pashupatih: The Lord of all the beings. Lord Shiva takes care of all the beings, protects them and liberates them also. This name also specifically refers to the bull – Nandi, whose master is Lord Shiva.

Pashyati iti pashuhu. One who sees or experiences is called Pashu. One who responds to stimulus is called a living being in biology. The being

(jeevātmaas ) are called pashu ( cattle ) as they are bound by paasha (rope) like a cattle is tied tightly with a rope and is bound to it. The jeevas are bound to avidyaa(Ignorance). The Lord of all such beings & who frees them is called Pashupati. Like the owner of the cattle frees the cattle when the right time comes, the Lord frees the beings by blessing them with the wisdom of self realization. He has the limitless unconditional liberty to keep the souls bound and to untie them.

Shiva Purana Vaayaveeya Samhita says:

सर्वात्मानं अधिष्ठात्री सर्वक्षेत्रनिवासिनां

मूर्तिर्पशुपतिर्ज्ञेया पशुपाशनिकृन्तिनी

The form of Lord Shiva which resides in all souls living in all kinds of bodies is knowns as Pashupati.

He is one of the eight element forms of Shiva already explained in the name ashtamoortih.

This name is praised in the vedas अम्बिकापतय उमापतये पशुपतये नमो नम :

Mrdah - One who makes us happy. Lord Shiva is the source and embodiment of all. In Shiva Mahimna Stotram, Gandharva King Pushpadanta praises Lord Shiva's form which protects the world, with the name Mrdah. जनसुखकृते सत्वोद्रिक्तौ मृडाय नमो नमः janasukhakṛtē satvōdriktau mṛḍāya namō namaḥ One who makes the beings happy and one who uses sattva guna fully, i bow to that mrdah. This name is also praised by the Vedas.

It is one of the 3 most important names of Lord Shiva. 
Achyuta, Ananda and Govinda are 3 names of Lord Vishnu which make an incomplete action also complete. All lapses in Pooja are also made up by chanting these: 

Haraaya Namaha, mrdaaya Namaha and shankaraaya Namaha.
