Śrī-Śanaiścara-kṛta Śrī-Narasiṁha-Stuti (- - . - | . . . | - . . - . - x metre)

<?xml:namespace prefix = u1 /><u1:p></u1:p>

<u1:p></u1:p>Everyone is afraid of the malefic planet Śani because generally he is associated with extreme sorrow and suffering. However, Śanideva himself has devised a way of solving this problem by obtaining the blessings of Lord Nṛsiṁha.

<u1:p></u1:p>Shani made an agreement with the Lord that he would never trouble those who recite his Nṛsiṁha Stuti when they are facing troubles related to dvādaśa-aṣṭama-pañcama (a situation where Śani-kāta lasts for 7 1/2 births)

<u1:p></u1:p>If one recites with devotion Śani’s Śrī Nṛsiṁha Stuti, especially on Śanivāra (Saturdays) and when Śani graha comes to 12-8-5 Janma Rāśi or 10th AL, one will please the Lord who is the Supersoul of Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all obstacles and suffering and bless His devotee.

<u1:p></u1:p>

<u1:p></u1:p>Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes those who are evil-minded. He is the saviour for those who are helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him. When the demigods of innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels from their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the impression that lamps are being waved in front of them. Unto His lotus feet, Śanideva prostrated and prayed (in the court of Brahmā).

<u1:p></u1:p>cakāra =has done.[nI-rAjita] mfn. shone upon. ??: 2 syllables missing there.

<u1:p></u1:p>I suspect it must be corrected to “śanaiścaras tatra nṛsiṁha-devaṁ namaś cakārāmala-citta-vṛttiḥ”.

As you see, the raxovywana-maahaatmja (rakSobhuvana mAhAtmya) is not here. Can some one please scan and send the pages which contain the shrii-shanaishcara-kRta shrii-nRsiMha stuti. It must be in the adhyaayas missing in the scanned form found at the Digital Library of India.

After much dictionary and grammar search, i hope this is the correct form of the stuti. Still i have some doubts in some lines, please post your corrections if you find any mistakes. Especially i wish to have a scan from the page of the book (BhaviSyottara PurAnam) containing the stuti. Thanks.
