SIVA MAHIMA

Bahularajase Visvotpothou Bhavaya namo namah

Prabhala tamase tatsamhareharaya namo namah

Janasukhakrite sathvodreke Mrudoya namo namah

Pramahasipade nistraigunye Sivaya namo namah

And these names - Bhava, Hara, Mruda and Siva represent the qualities he possess for creating, maintaining and destroying the worlds.  When he possess or takes upon himself that aspect or Rajoguna, while creating the worlds, he is called bhavah or Brahma; for dissolution of the world, he possesses "Tamoguna' then is called layakara and finally for protecting and maintaining the  worlds, he possesses sattavaguna and called then Mruda.  As he is above all gunas, he is called Siva, the Parabrahma.
