Shiva Panchakshar stotram was composed by Adi Shankara. There is also another Shiva Panchakshara stotra avaliable in Shiva Purana. However the popular one starting from "Nagendrahaaraya Trilochanaya.... " was composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
At the end of the stotra:
इति श्रीमच्छङ्कराचार्यविरचितं शिवपञ्चाक्षर स्तोत्रम् सम्पूर्णं ।।
Thus ends the Shiva Panchakshar Stotra composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
The full text of Shiva Panchakshara Stotra goes as:
नागेन्द्रहाराय त्रिलोचनाय
भस्माङ्गरागाय महेश्वराय ।
नित्याय शुद्धाय दिगम्बराय
तस्मै नकाराय नमः शिवाय ॥१॥मन्दाकिनीसलिलचन्दनचर्चिताय
नन्दीश्वरप्रमथनाथमहेश्वराय ।
मन्दारपुष्पबहुपुष्पसुपूजिताय
तस्मै मकाराय नमः शिवाय ॥२॥शिवाय गौरीवदनाब्जवृन्दसूर्याय
दक्षाध्वरनाशकाय ।
श्रीनीलकण्ठाय वृषध्वजाय
तस्मै शिकाराय नमः शिवाय ॥३॥वशिष्ठकुम्भोद्भवगौतमार्यमूनीन्द्रदेवार्चितशेखराय ।
चन्द्रार्कवैश्वानरलोचनाय
तस्मै वकाराय नमः शिवाय ॥४॥यक्षस्वरुपाय जटाधराय
पिनाकहस्ताय सनातनाय ।
दिव्याय देवाय दिगम्बराय
तस्मै यकाराय नमः शिवाय ॥५॥
फलश्रुती
पञ्चाक्षरमिदं पुण्यं यः पठेच्छिवसंनिधौ ।
शिवलोकमावाप्नोति शिवेन सह मोदते ॥६॥।।इति श्रीमच्छङ्कराचार्यविरचितं शिवपञ्चाक्षर स्तोत्रम् सम्पूर्णं।।
