Sri Vaidhyanatha Ashtakam !! Lyrics and Its meaning

Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva worshipped by Lord Rama, Lakshman & Jatayu,  Vedas, Shadanana/Lord Karthikeya, Lord Aditya and  Mars/Planet Kuja.  My salutation to Supreme Lord Neelakanda who is the ocean of mercy has blue throat.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, gracefully wears the colossal water current of river Ganga and Lord Chandra on his matted hair locks, he has three eyes, and he is the vanquisher of Lord Kamadeva & Lord Yama and worshipped by all the deities.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, passionately loves his devotees/Bakthapriya, destroyer of the three cities called Tripura, who holds the fierce weapon Pinaka which destroys the enemies and evil doers.   He personifies among the humans to reveal his matchless glory.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, cures all fatal illnesses like rheumatism and arthritis, revered by sages and Rishis and whose eyes are Lord Aditya, Lord Chandra and Lord Agni.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, protects blind, speechless, inaudible and unable to walk and cures innumerable and critical illnesses like leprosy.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, venerates all the way through the Vedantha, omnipresent and whose lotus feet are worshipped by great Rishis and Sages.  He is one amongst the trinities and has thousands of sacred names.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva, removes the sufferings of his devotees caused by the spell of evil spirits, grief and sorrows and unknown fears by a dip in the holy pond, smearing of holy ash and sacred mud under the sacred tree of neem.  He is the soul/Athmaswaroopa residing in all living creatures.
My salutation to Lord Vaidhyanatha, foremost of the physician who is the personification of Supreme Lord Shiva has blue throat and his celestial flag carries the symbol of his divine vehicle Rishabha/bull, adorned in fresh alluring flower garlands, sacred ash and sandal paste.  He bestows virtuous progeny and chaste wife along with all the auspiciousness.
Whoever recites the glorious sacred hymns praising Lord Vaidhyanatha along with Goddess Balambika, thrice a day with utmost faith and dedication would be relieved from all incurable and fatal illnesses, ultimately attains liberation at the lotus feet of Supreme Lord.
