Mukunda mala stotram queiry..Help please!!

[Guest guest]

Jai shri Krishna.

 

I'm confused about the number of verses (slokas) in Sri Mukunda mala

stotram. Sri Vaishnava websites such as Prapatti.com and

srivaishnavam.com, have versions of the Stotra in 42 slokas. However

i have seen the Bhaktivedanta Book trust copy Transalated by Srila

Prabhupada and his disciples, here we have mukunda mala stotra of 53

slokas. The confusion continues from sloka 7 onwards, where the

verses do no correspond with each other. For example verse 7 of the

41 verse version starts... kriShNa tvadIya padapaN^kaja

paJNjarAntam.... whereas in the 53 verse version sloka 7 starts

cintayami harim eva santatam .....

 

Can someone please shed some light on this please?????????? And if

possible what was the exact version of Mukunda mala stotram which was

sung by Sri Kulasekhara Alawar????????

Dear All

 

Please accept my humble pranamam

It seems that there are several versions of

mukundamala.

I also humbly request the elders in the group to shine

light on this.

 

In this website

http://www.indiadivine.org/mukunda-mala-stotra.htm

 

mukundamala has 53 slokas, and this doesnft end with

the concluding verse gyasya priyou

Sruthidharoucccch

 

But the book I have which is published by Ramakrishna

mission, with a small commentary by swami mridananda

has 44 verses (the book is in malayALam).

 

mukundamala text in prapathi.com, has 4 slokas missing

in the end. After the 39th sloka starting gKshIra

Sagaratharanga SIkaraccch mukunda mala is

concluded with gyasya priyou Sruthidharoucccch

as 40th verse.

 

The book I have has 4 more slokas, which adds up to 44

total slokas for mukunda mala, excluding the thaniyan

of the azhwar. (Authorship of mukundamala endorsed to

SrI kulaSEkhara perumAL Azhwar is another question).

Please find the 4 slokas, here with, kindly forgive me

for the error in the transliteration.

 

After the 39th slokam according to prapatthi.com

gKshIra Sagaratharanga SIkaraccch 39

and concludes with gyasya priyou

Sruthidharoucccch as 44th verse

 

it looks like there are at least 3 versions in

practice.

With humble pranamams

Sreekanth
