Malhana was a sanskrit poet. he was a SIVSBHKTA. His father

Suvarnabhattaraka was passsed away duly giving unlimitted wealth.

Malhana is now free bird and acquinted with a dancing girl named

PUSHPAGANDHI. Malhana changed her name as MALHANI and give away his

entire wealth to her. After becomming poor, Malhani's mother kicked

him out and not permitted him even to see his beloved Malhani. So he

became annoyed and spending all his time in the doorsteps of Malhanii

On one SIVARATRI day Malhani wishes to go the Siva Temple.On her way

to sivatemple she found her beloved Malhana and she was very much

worried about his present state. She requested him to divert his mind

on Lord Siva. Malhana replied that he can't pray Lord Siva as his his

mind is fully filled with Malhani only. at last they reached Siva

temple. with an intention to change the mind of her beloved Malhani

stand behind the Sivalingam and removed all her clothes and asked

Malhana to make Stotra either on Lord Siva or on her. Malhana inner

vision opend by the action of Malhani and he rendered a beautiful

stotra on Lord Siva in Vasanta tilaka vrutta which became famous as

MALHANA STOTRA. This stotra contains SRINGARA and BHAKTI and this

stotra is very effective in giving her readers NIRMALA BHAKTI.A
