Shikshashtakam

These are the few lines which Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu has given us.


Chetodarpana marjanam bhava maha davagni nirvapanam
Shreya kairavachandrikavitharanam vidyavadhu jeevanam
Anandambudivardanam prathipadam poornamrithasvadanam
Sarvathma snapanam vijayathe srikrishnasankirthanam

Naamnaamakaari bahudhaa nijasarvashakthis
Thatrarpitha niymitah smaranena kalah
Ethadrishee thava kripaa bhagavan mamaapi
Durdhaivameedhrisha mihajaninaanu ragah

Thrinaadhapi suneechena
Tharorapi sahishnunaa
Amaaninaa maanadena
Keerthaneeya sadaa harih

Na dhanam na janam na sundhareem
Kavitham vaa jagadheesha kaamayey
Mama janmani janmaneeshwarey
Bhavathadh bhakthir ahaiy thuki thvai

Ayi nandathanooja kinkaram
Pathithaam maam vishame bhavaambudhow
Kripayaa thava paadapankaja
Sthithadoolisadhrsham vichinthaya

Nayanam galadhashrudharayaa vadanam gadgadarudhayaa giraa
Pulakairnichitham vapuh kadha thava naamagrahanea bhavishyathi?

Yugaayitham nimeshena chakshushaa praavrishaayitham
Shunyayitham jagatsarvam govinda virahena mey

Aaaslishya vaa paadharathaam pinashtu maam
Adarshanaamnarmahatham karothu vaa
Yatha thadha vaa vidhadhaathu lambado
Math praananadhasthu sa eva naaparah
