Who can properly praise that which even the Vedas describe with trepidation, by means of not this, not this? How many qualities does He possess? By whom can He be perceived? Yet whose mind and speech do not turn to the form later taken by Him (saguna)? madhuspht vca paramamta nirmitavata tava brahman ki vgapi suragurorvismayapadam mama tvet v guakathanapuyena bhavata punmtyarthesmin puramathana buddhirvyavasit (3) O Brahman! Do even Brihaspatis praises cause wonder to You, the author of the nectar like sweet Vedas? O destroyer of the three cities, the thought that by praising Your glories I shall purify my speech has prompted me to undertake this work. atta pathna tava ca mahim vmanasayo atadvyvtty ya cakitamabhidhatte rutirapi sa kasya stotavya katividhagua kasya viaya pade tvarvcne patati na mana kasya na vaca (2) Your greatness is beyond the reach of mind and speech. If no one can be blamed when they praise You according to their intellectual powers, then my attempt to compose a hymn cannot be reproached. || om nama ivya || || atha r ivamahimnastotram || mahimna pra te paramaviduo yadyasad stutirbrahmdnmapi tadavasannstvayi gira athvcya sarva svamatiparimvadhi gan mampyea stotre hara nirapavda parikara (1) If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. Let its recitation be beneficial to you as well! The recital of this stotram is very beneficial. Lord Shiva became pleased by this stotram, and returned Pushpadantas divine powers. This very prayer became well known as the Shiva Mahimna Stotra. In this prayer he sung the greatness of the Lord. He then designed a prayer to Lord Shiva for forgiveness. The thief Pushpadanta, not knowing this, walked on the shiva nirmalya, and by that he incurred the wrath of Lord Shiva and lost the divine power of invisibility. Shiva nirmalya consists of the bilva leaves, flowers, et cetera which have been used in worshiping Lord Shiva. Finally the king spread the shiva nirmalya in his garden. He tried very hard to capture the thief, but in vain, the Gandharvas have divine power to remain invisible. One day a Gandharva (singer in the court of Indra, the Lord of the Heaven) named Pushpadanta being fascinated by the beautiful flowers, began to steal them, as a consequence of which king Chitraratha could not offer flowers to Lord Shiva. These flowers were used every day by the king in worshipping Lord Shiva.
There were beautiful flowers in this garden. The legend about the circumstances leading to the composition of this hymn is as follows: A king named Chitraratha had constructed a nice garden. Shiva Mahimna StotraThe Shiva Mahimna Stotra is very popular among the devotees of Lord Shiva and is considered one of the best among all stotras (or stutis) offered to Him.
