॥ श्री अवधूत स्तोत्रम् ॥
अवधूतं गुरुं वन्दे यो ज्ञानमयमीश्वरम्।
यत्पादरेणुमात्रेण विश्वं भवति पावनम्॥१॥
अकारो ब्रह्मरूपस्तु वकारो विष्णुरूपकः।
धूकारो रुद्ररूपस्तु तकारो ज्ञानदीपकः॥२॥
सर्वत्यागी सदा शान्तो निर्ममो निरहंकृतिः।
अवधूतो महात्मा तु सदा चरति निर्भयः॥३॥
दिगम्बरो विरक्तात्मा सदा ज्ञानपरायणः।
ब्रह्मानन्दे सदा मग्नः अवधूतः प्रपूज्यते॥४॥
न जातिर्न कुलं तस्य न लिङ्गं न च संस्कृतिः।
सर्वत्यागी महाभागः अवधूतः सदा शिवः॥५॥
योगिनामग्रगण्योऽसावज्ञानतिमिरापहः।
सद्गुरुर्दत्तदेवोऽसावधूतमिमं भजे॥६॥
न मे भयं न मे चिन्ता न मे बन्धो न मे मतम्।
इति यः सततं वेत्ति सोऽवधूतः प्रकीर्तितः॥७॥
समो मित्रे च शत्रौ च समो मानावमानयोः।
सर्वत्र समबुद्धिस्तु अवधूतो जगद्गुरुः॥८॥

विमुक्तः सर्वपापेभ्यो ज्ञानं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्॥
