Mahakaleshwar Mantra:

महाकाल स्त्रोत:  ऊँ महाकाल महाकाय, महाकाल जगत्पते।
महाकाल महायोगिन्‌ महाकाल नमोऽस्तुते॥

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथंच श्री शैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् ।
उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोंकारममलेश्वरम् ॥
केदारे हिगवत्पृष्ठे डाकिन्यां भीमशंकरम् ।
वाराणस्यांच विश्वेशं त्र्यम्बंक गौतमी तटे ।
वैद्यनाथं चिताभूमौ नागेशं दारुकावने ।
सेतुबन्धे च रामेशं घृष्णेशंच शिवालये ।
एतानि ज्योतिर्लिंगानि प्रातरुत्थाय य: पठेत् ।
जन्मान्तर कृत पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति ॥
