Varagy Shatakam 2
Mangala Slokam
It is customary to have a prayer song in the beginning of any book. True to that tradition Maharshi Bharthruhari also have composed a verse in praise of Lord Shiva.

To Him who appears radiant in the shimmering rays, like half-bloomed buds, of the crescent moon which ornaments His head; who sportively burned Cupid like a moth; whose presence augurs supreme well-being; who, like the sun, inwardly dispels the dense darkness of ignorance engulfing the mind; who is like a lamp of knowledge shining in the hearts of yogis; Victory to Shiva!
In this Dyana sloka, Lord Shiva is stated as the Gnana deepa-self illuminating light and by meditating on him our Agnana- ignorance would be destroyed.
Gnanapratipo Hara: - Lord Shiva who is the illuminator of Atma Gnana-knowledge! The word Hara means God who removes ignorance. The word Hari, which refers to Lord Vishnu, means the same thing.
This invocation sloka is meant for completion of the task without any hindrance. At the same time it also indicates the main theme or objective of the composition. The Vairagya shatakam is intended to help mankind to destroy the ignorance and pave the way for attaining permanent happiness.
