Sri Jagannatha Ashtakam Meaning:
Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha, with His flute, makes a loud concert in the groves on the
banks of the Yamuna. He is like a bumblebee who tastes the beautiful lotus-like faces of the cowherd
damsels of Vraja, and His lotus feet are worshiped by great personalities such as Lakshmi, Siva, Brahma,
Indra and Ganesa. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.
In His left hand Lord Jagannatha holds a flute. On His head He wears the feathers of peacocks and on His
hips He wears fine yellow silken cloth. Out of the corners of His eyes He bestows sidelong glances upon
His loving devotees and He always reveals Himself through His pastimes in His divine abode of
Vrindavana. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.
Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace situated upon the crest of the brilliant,
golden Nilacala Hill, along with His powerful brother Bala-bhadra, and in the middle of Them His sister
Subhadra, Lord Jagannatha bestows the opportunity for devotional service upon all godly souls. May that
Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.
Lord Jagannatha is an ocean of mercy and He is beautiful like a row of blackish rain clouds. He is the
storehouse of bliss for Lakshmi and Saraswati, and His face is like a spotless full-blown lotus. He is
worshiped by the best of demigods and sages, and His glories are sung by the Upanishads. May that
Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.

loud presentation of prayers and songs chanted by large assemblies of brahmanas. Hearing their hymns
Lord Jagannatha is very favorably disposed towards them. He is the ocean of mercy and the true friend
of all the worlds. May that Jagannatha Swami, along with His consort Lakshmi, who was born from the
ocean of nectar, be the object of my vision.
He is the ornament of the head of Lord Brahma and His eyes are like the full-blown petals of the lotus.
He resides on the Nilacala Hill, and His lotus feet are placed on the heads of Ananta Deva. Lord
Jagannatha is overwhelmed by the mellow of love and He becomes joyful in the embracing of the body
of Sri Radharani, which is like a cool pond. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.
I do not pray for a kingdom, nor for gold, rubies, and wealth. I do not ask for an excellent and beautiful
wife as desired by all men. I simply pray that Jagannatha Swami, whose glories are always sung by Lord
Siva, be the constant object of my vision.
O Lord of the demigods, please quickly remove this useless material existence I am undergoing. O Lord
of the Yadus, please destroy this vast ocean of sins which has no shore. Alas, this is certain that Lord
Jagannatha’s lotus feet are bestowed upon those who feel themselves fallen and have no shelter in this
world but Him. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.
The self-retrained, virtuous soul who recites these eight verses glorifying Lord Jagannatha becomes
cleansed of all sins and duly proceeds to Lord Visnu’s abode.
Thus ends the eight stanza hymn Jagannathastakam composed by srimat saṅkaracarya
Sri Maha Vishnu Stotrams – Sri Jagannatha
