Swami Vivekananda was asked why he didn't write a biography of Sridharam Krishna. He replied in a Bengali phrase: sivgottiki bhanurgur bho. When it comes to God, who knows the extent of the magnificence and the greatness of God? In that case, who is qualified to praise God? So one must know something about God, but then it becomes difficult because Brahman,. the ultimate reality, the absolute existence, consciousness, bliss is beyond all attributes - so it's never an object of knowledge.
Shiva Mahimna Stotra is a Sanskrit composition in the devotion to Shiva that is believed to have been composed by a Gandharva named Pushpadanta. It lists Shiva's various achievements and qualities. Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on these verses on the auspicious occasion of Shivaratri.
