Colophon

This document was typeset using XELATEX, and uses the Sanskrit 2003 font extensively. It also uses several LATEX macros
designed by H. L. Prasd. Practically all the encoding was done
with the help of Itranslator 2003 and Ajit Krishnans mudgala
IME (http://www.aupasana.com/).

Preface

xi

This book has been primarily inspired by two pieces of work one,
my thths beautiful hand-written composition of loks, for his grandchildren, and mantrapushpam, the excellent compilation of vedamantrs
and stotrs, from Ramakrishna Mutt.
In this book, several wonderful stotras have been compiled. One of
the aims of this book is to provide ready access to a number of stotrs
in a compact form. Ive often had to refer to a bundle of books for each
stotram. This book, I hope, would prove to be really useful for people
who would like to carry around these stotrs when they travel around,
or would like a handy small book containing all these stotrs. The other
important feature of this book is that all the stotrs are in devangar lipi.
Ive often had access to a large number of stotrs, but in Tamil script. I
nd the devangar lipi more conducive to correct pronunciation. There
are several simple shloks in this book, which I am sure children would
be able to pick up easily. Stotrs such as Nma Rmyanam should certainly be taught to children. Many of these stotras have been rendered
wonderfully by rmat M. S. Subbulakshmi; one just needs to listen to her
for both bhakti and inspiration. While the foremost importance is to be
given to bhakti, one must certainly give importance to accurate pronunciation as well, and MSS is exemplary in that regard.
One should make it a point to chant at least few of these every day,
and most of these in a month. One should certainly recite the Vishnu
Sahasranmam everyday. Of course, it must be emphasised that ones
nityakarm takes precedence over all these ( ) and one must make time for sandhyvandandi nityakarms and
such prayers everyday:

xii

Preface

In Kaliyuga, foremost importance is given to nmasankrtanam, and hence,

stotras such as these should be recited with bhakti, regularly:

There are several people whom I must thank for their contributions
to this book. I cannot undermine the importance of the Sanskrit Documents Website, which happens to be the source for almost all of the
texts contained in here. Many thanks to volunteers to build and present
such a wonderful collection online. I must acknowledge the eorts of
my friend Prasd, who has been instrumental (and almost wholly responsible) for the improved formatting in this book. I consulted him several
times for help with XELATEX. But for his TEX macros, some of the alignments
would have never happened! I must also thank the writers of the software ITranslator, which has been the hammer-and-nail for compiling this
book. The other tool critical for this book was XELATEX, and it was indeed
the release of MiKTEX 2.7 that led me to experiment with XELATEX, which I
think has been a success.
I take this opportunity to seek the blessings of my App, Amm, my
Guru Shri S. Ananthakrishnan, and my Mm, who have inspired me and
taught me all that I know. I must denitely thank Sketh too, who has
been inspirational in several ways.
I must specially thank my amm, who has encouraged and inspired
me a lot through the course of compiling this book. I also must thank
her for proof-reading the text, and particularly helping with ymal dandakam. Thanks are also due to my wife, for her support and encouragement throughout.
Although we have put in eorts to remove any typographical errors
in this book, I must emphasise that the errors in this book are solely due
http://sanskritdocuments.org/
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/Itranslt.html

to my ignorance and I would be glad to rectify them. Please drop me a

gmail at karthik.raman to notify me of even the smallest of errors.

This book is dedicated to r Krishna.

It is with great pleasure that I present the second edition of this book.
The major changes have been the inclusion of some large stotrs such as
the Saundarya lahar, Sankshepa Rmyanam and Shiva sahasranmam, as
well as numerous smaller stotrs. The stotrs have also now been segregated into two parts, with the longer stotrs occupying the second part
of the book.
I thank all those who have made use of the previous edition of the
book and have given me their feedback, which I hope has helped improve the content in the present edition. I thank my father-in-law, Shri.
N. Venugoplan, for sending me the text of some rare stotrs. I also thank
my wife Mdhury, for meticulously proof-reading Saundarya lahar. I
also thank my Amm, for suggesting the wonderful Durg pancharatnam,
composed by Mahaperival.
I welcome suggestions for improvements please drop me a gmail
at karthik.raman to notify me of any comments/suggestions and even the
smallest of errors.

It is with great pleasure that I present the revised second edition of

this book. Most of the changes in this version are minor, save for the
inclusion of a few more stotrs, such as Kmksh suprabhtam, Dakshinmrti ashtakam, Santnagopla stotram, Dmodarshtakam, paduddhrana dvdaa mukha hanumn stotram and Rangantha gadyam, to
name a few. Many atanma stotras have been added too; since the
number of atanma stotras has exceeded 25, I have now moved them
to another part by itself. Several corrections have also been made to
many of the stotras, from previous editions. Special thanks to Sketh for
proofreading Gakrdi Ganapati Sahasranma stotram and for encoding
many of the ashtottara atanma stotras.
