Devanagari : ॐ नमः शिवाय, Kannada : ಓಂ ನಮಃ ಶಿವಾಯ, Malayalam : ഓം നമഃ ശിവായ, Tamil : ஓம் நம சிவாய, Telugu : ఓం నమః శివాయ, Bengali : ওঁ নমঃ শিবায়, Gujarati : ૐ નમઃ શિવાય, Punjabi : ਓਮ ਨਮ ਸ਼ਿਵਾਯ ) is among the foremost mantras. Its general translation is "adoration (namas) to Śiva", preceded by the mystical syllable Aum. It is called Panchakshara, or "having five syllables". Śaivite mystics hold that within its celestial tones and hues resides all of the intuitive knowledge of Śaivism. The Aum namah Śivāya mantra appears for the first time, still without the Aum, in a traditional Vedic prayer to Rudra called Śri Rudram (Rudra is considered an earlier aspect and name of Lord Śiva). In this context, śiva retains its original meaning as an adjective meaning "auspicious, benign, friendly", a euphemistic epithet of Rudra.
