Guest guest Posted August 5, 1997 Report Share Posted August 5, 1997 SrI RAmajayam Stories from ANANDA RAMAYANAM - Continued This is the ninth posting in Ananda RAmAyaNam series: Excerpt from yAga kANdam: [sage Kumbhodara pays a visit to RAma while the asvamedha yAgam is being done and offers his prayer in the form of RAma AshTottara satanAmAvali in the presence of SrI RAma and SIta who are seated near the yAgakuNdam.] I am not attempting to translate the meanings of the slokams because the names that occur in the stotra are mostly in common use. The nAmAvali derived from each slokam is given in square brackets. The phala sruti that follows the stotram states that reciting this nAmAvaLi will bestow the following benefits: it will destroy all sins, remove fear from death and bestow knowledge about SrI RAma's paramAtma svarUpam. One who says this prayer for a month will be relieved from the evil effects of wrong dhAnam, eating of wrong foods and wrong medicines. One who says or reads or thinks about or listens to this stotram, will be saved from grave sins and will ever start thinking about SrI RAma. Reciting this even once is more beneficial than one-sixteenth of the benefits received from reciting hundreds of srutis, smrtis, puraNams and itihAsams. It gives children to the childless, wealth to the poor, wife to the unmarried man etc. SrI RAma ashTottara satanAmAvaLi asya srI rAmacandranAmAshTottara satamantrasya brahmA rshih | anushtup chandah |
