Sri Ayyappa Sahasranamam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
( Lord Ayyappa is the son of Lord Shiva born to Lord Vishnu in his Mohini form. He
was brought by the king of Pandala in Kerala and was sanctified in the temple in the hill
temple of Sabari Malai in Kerala. He is also called Dharma Sastha and has large number
of temples dedicated to him Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu.
I got this Saharsra namam in Malayalam script from
http://www.rohiniayyappa.com/sahsranamam.pdf. I could not get any information about
its author or the origin of this stotra. In my translation work I have used the excellent
translation and interpretation of this great work by Sri Ganesh Swami published by Sri
Meru Publications, Trichur. )
Sankalpam
For the one thousand names of Ayyappa , the saint is Ardhanareeswara(God who is half
lady), the meter is anushtup and the God addressed is the son of Vishnu and Shiva.
Dhyanam
I meditate of the lucky son of the consort of Uma and the consort of Lakshmi,
Who is shining with prettiness due to his shining hand due to the cane,
Who has a body that attracts the whole world, who is interested in hunting,
And who is the Lord of Bhoothas, who is granting the desires of devotees.
Om Thus ends the 1000 names of the son of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu
