stotraratna contd. 21 thro' 24.

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

 

The Slokhas 21 thro' 24 of yaamunaacharyas stotraratna is as

follows:-

 

slokha 21 :-

 

Namo namo vaan-manas'aati bhumaye

namo namo vaan-manas'aika-bhumaye;

namo namo'ananta-mahaavibhutaye

namo namo'ananta day'aika sindhave.

 

Obeisance again and again to you who are beyond

the reach of speech and mind; obeisance again and

again to you who are the sole object of speech and mind;

obeisance again and again to you of infinite great powers;

obeisance again and again to you, the one ocean of infinite

mercy.

 

slokha 22 :-

 

Na dharma-nishtho'asmi na c'aatma vedi

na bhaktimaan tvaccaran'aaravinde;

akincano'ananya-gatih saranya!

tvat-paada-mulam saranam prapadye.

 

O you worthy of being sought as refuge! I am not one

established in Dharma, nor am i a knower of the self.

I have no fervent devotion to your lotus-feet. Utterly

destitute as I am, and having none else for resort, I

take refuge under your feet.

 

slokha 23 :-

 

Na ninditam karma tad asti loke

sahasraso yan na mayaa vyadhaayi;

so'aham vipaak'aavasare mukunda!

krandaami sampraty agatih tavaagre.

 

There is not a single despicable deed in the world which

has not been committed by me thousands of times. O

Mukunda! now, when those deeds are fructifying, I, the

very same person, am crying out helplessly before you.

 

slokha 24 :-

 

Nimajjato'ananta! bhav' aarnavaantah

ciraaya me kulam iv'aasi labdhah;

tvay'aapi labdham bhagavan idaanim

anuttamam paatram idam dayaayaah.

 

O Ananta! I am getting drowned in the great ocean of

transmigratory existence. At last in you I have found the

shore of that endless ocean, and you, O Lord! have obtained

now this worthiest recipient for your mercy.
