Hymn - Margabandhu Stotram by Appayya Dikshitar (M. Venkataraman)
There was a great scholar and an interpreter of Advaita philosopy after Adi Sankara. His name was Appayya Dikshitar. He belonged to a place in the South Arcot District of Tamilnadu. He composed this beautiful hymn on Lord Shiva who was called as Margabandhu in a place called Virinchipuram near Vellore in South Arcot District.
This stotra contains a total of six verses followed by a phalasruti. Sri Dikshitar offers prostrations to the Lord who is the God of Gods, the greatest God and an abode of peace who blesses us all with welfare and prosperity. He praises Lord Shiva as Margabandhu, a friend of our path. How Lord Shiva kills the enemies with his trident, how he burnt Manmatha, the god of love with his third eye, how he used the golden Mount Meru as his bow in the war against three demons etc have been stated while praising the Lord. The various attributes like his blue neck, the matted lock adorned with the Ganges and the Moon etc have been picturised beautifully while rendering this hymn.
In conclusion, while acknowledging that he is the author of the hymn, he assures all that if this stotra is read with devotion during journey, Lord Shiva would be easily pleased and would ensure fulfilment of all wishes along with protection during the journey.
I have also brought about an audio book titled ‘A few hymns on Lord Shiva’ which you may like to hear. It is available with leading audio book-sellers like Google’s play books.
