info. needed on "saulabhya-choodAmaNi-stOtram"

[Guest guest]

Dear friends/members,

 

Recently an ardent "sudarsna-upAsaka" (ardent devotee

of Sudarsna, the mighty weapon of Lord Vishnu) gave me

the text of a short but sweet-sounding Sanskrit

"stOttra" called "saulabhya-choodAmani-stOtra". It is

in praise of Sri Sudarsna chakra. I have added this

beautiful stOtra to my "nityAnusandAnam", my daily

litany of short-prayers.

 

I want to obtain the following information which

knowledgeable members of the list may perhaps might be

able to help me with:

 

The hymn begins with "brahmO'vAcha". I therefore infer

the stOtra must be a passage from some old "purANA".

Can anyone tell me which source "purANa"?

 

What is the general gist of the stOtra?

 

What is the "phala-sruti"?

 

Does anyone have a word-for-word translation in

English?

 

Much obliged if anyone can throw some light.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

dAsan,

Sudarshan
