Shiva mahima Stotra

The recital of this stotra is very beneficial as proclaimed by one of its verses:

अहरहरनवद्यं धूर्जटेः स्तोत्रमेतत् ।

पठति परमभक्त्या शुद्धचित्तः पुमान्यः ॥

स बवति शिवलोके रुद्रतुल्यस्तथाडत्र ।

प्रचुरतर धनायुः पुत्रवान्कीर्तिमांश्च ॥

“Anyone who recites this hymn with a pure heart and devotion will be blessed with fame (कीर्ति), wealth (धन), long life (आयु) and many children (सुत) in this mortal world, and will attain Kailas, Shiva’s abode, after death.”

दीक्षा दानं तपस्तीर्थं ज्ञानं यागादिकाः क्रियाः ।

महिम्नस्तवपाठस्य कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् ॥

“Benefit of singing Shivmahimna stotra is far greater than either the benefit of spiritual initiation (दीक्षा), charity (दान), austerity (तप), pilgrimage (तीर्थ), knowledge of the scriptures (ज्ञान), or the performance of ceremonial sacrifice (यज्ञ-याग).”
