Stotra ratna contd.

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

Slokhas 51 to 54 of yaamunaacharya's stotraratna are as

follows :-

 

slokha 51 :-

 

Tad aham tvad-rte na naathavaan

mad-rte tvam dayaniiyavaaan na ca ;

vidhi-nirmitam etam anvayam

bhagavan! paalaya maa sma jiihapah.

 

Therefore , without you Iam lost for a Lord, and without me you are lost for

a worthy recipient for your compassion.Preserve, O Lord! this relation (of

your Lordship and my pitiableness),which is ordained by fate, and spurn me

not.

 

slokha 52 :-

 

Vapuraadisu yo'api ko'api vaa

gunatao'asaani yathaa tathaa vidhah;

tad ayam tava paada-padmayoh

aham ad'ya'iva mayaa samarpitah.

 

Whatever might be the nature of the body and the organs Iam endowed with

according to the Gunas of Prakrti, Iam offering them this very moment at

your lotus-feet, as also what is denoted as 'I' in me.

 

slokha 53 :-

 

Mama naatha! yad asti yo'asmy aham

sakalam taddhi tav'aiva maadhava!;

niyatasvam iti prabuddha-dhiih

athavaa kim nu samarpayaami te.

 

O Lord! Whatever I have, whatever I am,all these,verily, are your own

already. What then shall i offer you? O Madhavaa! being thus awakened to the

consciousness that all these are your own inalienable property, there is

nothing left for me to offer.

 

slokha 54 :-

 

Avabodhitavaan imam yathaa

mayi nityaam bhavadiiyataam svayam;

krpay'aivam ananya bhogyataam

bhagavan!bhaktim api prayaccha me.

 

As you,yourself have awakened in me this consciousness of being eternally

yours, so too, O Lord, grant me, out of compassion, that Bhakti which is of

the nature of enjoying you and you alone.

 

Sri Krishnaarpanamasthu
