saubhAgyAShTottarashatanAmastotram

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Yesterday, while looking for something in the college library,

I stumbled across the text and translation of the mAhAtmya khaNDam

of the tripurA rahasyam, a publication of the GuruMandal Granthamala

Series (# 28). I mentioned this to my friend, who remarked that

this was a wierd coincidence, because today is Datta Jayanti,

and suggested that I attempt to transliterate it, because it is

not available online. I politely declined, since the book is

over 800 pages in length (of course, a good portion of that is

the hindi translation) and I know how painfully slow I have been

with prior texts !!

 

I will however attempt to post maybe one or 2 portions from the

text. Today I am posting the saubhAgyAShTottarashatanAmastotram,

recited by Dattatreya to Parashurama. It is mentioned in the

text itself that this is a very secretive and potent text, and

that is mandatory for shrIvidyopAsakA-s (verse 30, line 1). The

rishi for this stotram is Lord Shiva, it is in Anushtup meter

and the deity is shrIlalitAmbikA .

 

In our group, there are some very knowledgable people in these

matters like Shri Ganesh Prasad, Shri Krishnamoorthy, Smt. Vijaya

Ganapathy, Shri Harshananda, Shri Kalikaputra and Shri Satish

Arigela. They might know more about the text and wish to say more

about it, and the appropriateness of posting it here. I can

translate the text (into english) with the help of the hindi

translation and will do so if someone wishes.

 

Regards,

Sridhar.
