Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Sriman Ramesh, Lakshmi Sahasram was composed by a great scholor by name Venkadhwari. He was a contemporary of Sri Lakshmikumara Thatadesikan of 16th Century. He was from a small village by name ArasaaniPalai near Kancheepuram. Once when he was ill, he sung these 1000 songs in praise of Thirupathi Thaayar and he became well. LIFCO publishers, Madras has brought out a book on Lakshmi Sahasram. If you are a resident of Chennai, you can check there. If you are in US, you can check from Vijay Chakravarthy (vijaychak) 11332, 183rd Place NE Apartment J2029 Redmond, WA 98052 United States of America I found the above address in LIFCO's website (http://www.lifcobooks.com) As I have not gone through that book, I don't know if it contains the meanings for slokas as well.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Sriman Ramesh and Sriman Venkataraghavan Srinivasan, Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Lakshmi Sahasram was composed by Arasanipalai Venkatadhwari Swamy as you have correctly mentioned. As the story goes, this Stothram was composed by Sri Swamy in order to get his eye-sight which was stated to have been lost in consequence of his critical remarks about the inhabitants of various Divya Desams in his work "Viswa Gunaadarsa Champu". In this champu kavya Sri Swamy graphically describes various Divya Desams through two Characters (Gandharvas by name Viswavasu), one eulogising the greatness of the place & its inhabitants and the other critically commenting about the not-so virtuous side of it. Even today, many Acharyas recommend to their sishyas who have eye related ailments to recite Sri Lakshmi Sahasram.
