54. Sri Karunabhyudaya Stotram – Sri Matsya Puranam

The following is a rare hymn titled Karunabhyudaya Stotram on Lord Shiva by Sage Bhrigu taken from Matsya Puranam, Narmada Mahatmyam and Chapter 193. The brief Phalashruti  mentions that Lord Shiva becomes very pleased with the one who recites this hymn with due devotion  as Sage Bhrigu became pleased.

The gist of the prayer is as below:

O Lord! You are the Lord of all beings, the root of this universe, devoid of birth and death and I wish to submit something at your Lotus Feet. Even if a person gets thousands of tongues like Vasuki, he will not be able to describe your divine characteristics but I am trying to submit this prayer to you and may You be pleased with my prayer and forgive my mistakes. You are the creator, protector and destroyer of this universe and the manifestation of three Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas). There is no Deva beyond you. The eight-fold path sucas Yama, Niyama won’t even match a fraction of devotion to you. You bestow wealth to those who offer true devotion to you and sorrow to those who crave for the wealth/spouses of others! Please redeem me fast from all desirous pursuits including the attachment to material body, unrighteous path and bestow me with immutable wealth!
