We have seen in the last several years that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are NOT different Gods (who eternally quarrel among themselves to ensure their superiority over the other two) – but just names attached to the one and only Almighty while performing different divine duties. Sage Bhrigu prays to Lord Shiva as the creator/protector/destroyer of the universe and requests Him to emancipate Him from worldly pursuits and pulls such that he may get the immutable wealth. Though the Phalashruti is brief it says it all – that Lord Shiva gets pleased with the one who recites this hymn as he was pleased with Sage Bhrigu.Īs the hymn is slightly difficult in terms of lexicon, I have endeavored to give a brief summary of the meaning. This hymn is titled " Karunabhyudaya Stotram". As Sri Mahashivaratri falls on 1 (Tuesday), I am very delighted to share a very rare and beautiful prayer on Lord Shiva by Sage Bhrigu taken from Matsya Puranam, Narmada Mahatmyam and Chapter 193.
