This book has been primarily inspired by two pieces of work one, my
thths beautiful hand-written composition of loks, for his grandchildren,
and mantrapushpam, the excellent compilation of vedamantrs and stotrs,
from Ramakrishna Mutt.
In this book, several wonderful stotras have been compiled. One of the
aims of this book is to provide ready access to a number of stotrs in a com-
pact form. Ive often had to refer to a bundle of books for each stotram.
This book, I hope, would prove to be really useful for people who would
like to carry around these stotrs when they travel around, or would like a
handy small book containing all these stotrs. The other important feature
of this book is that all the stotrs are in devangar lipi. Ive often had access
to a large number of stotrs, but in Tamil script. I nd the devangar lipi
more conducive to correct pronunciation. There are several simple shloks
in this book, which I am sure children would be able to pick up easily. Stotrs
such as Nma Rmyanam should certainly be taught to children. Many of
these stotras have been rendered wonderfully by rmat M. S. Subbulak-
shmi; one just needs to listen to her for both bhakti and inspiration. While
the foremost importance is to be given to bhakti, one must certainly give
importance to accurate pronunciation as well, and MSS is exemplary in that
regard.
One should make it a point to chant at least few of these every day, and
most of these in a month. One should certainly recite the Vishnu Sahasran-
mam everyday. Of course, it must be emphasised that ones nityakarm
takes precedence over all these ( ) and one
must make time for sandhyvandandi nityakarms and such prayers every-
day:
xii Preface
There are several people whom I must thank for their contributions
to this book. I cannot undermine the importance of the Sanskrit Docu-
ments Website1 , which happens to be the source for almost all of the texts
contained in here. Many thanks to volunteers to build and present such a
wonderful collection online. I must acknowledge the eorts of my friend
Prasd, who has been instrumental (and almost wholly responsible) for the
improved formatting in this book. I consulted him several times for help
with XELATEX. But for his TEX macros, some of the alignments would have
never happened! I must also thank the writers of the software ITranslator2 ,
which has been the hammer-and-nail for compiling this book. The other
tool critical for this book was XELATEX, and it was indeed the release of MiKTEX
2.7 that led me to experiment with XELATEX, which I think has been a success.
I take this opportunity to seek the blessings of my App, Amm, my Guru
Shri S. Ananthakrishnan, and my Mm, who have inspired me and taught
me all that I know. I must denitely thank Sketh too, who has been inspi-
rational in several ways.
I must specially thank my amm, who has encouraged and inspired me
a lot through the course of compiling this book. I also must thank her for
proof-reading the text, and particularly helping with ymal dandakam.
Thanks are also due to my wife, for her support and encouragement through-
out.
Although we have put in eorts to remove any typographical errors in
this book, I must emphasise that the errors in this book are solely due to
my ignorance and I would be glad to rectify them. Please drop me a gmail
at karthik.raman to notify me of even the smallest of errors.
This book is dedicated to r Krishna.

It is with great pleasure that I present the second edition of this book.
The major changes have been the inclusion of some large stotrs such as the
Saundarya lahar, Sankshepa Rmyanam and Shiva sahasranmam, as well as
numerous smaller stotrs. The stotrs have also now been segregated into
two parts, with the longer stotrs occupying the second part of the book.
I thank all those who have made use of the previous edition of the book
and have given me their feedback, which I hope has helped improve the
content in the present edition. I thank my father-in-law, Shri. N. Venugoplan,
for sending me the text of some rare stotrs. I also thank my wife Mdhury,
for meticulously proof-reading Saundarya lahar. I also thank my Amm, for
suggesting the wonderful Durg pancharatnam, composed by Mahaperival.
I welcome suggestions for improvements please drop me a gmail
at karthik.raman to notify me of any comments/suggestions and even the
smallest of errors.

(R T E )
It is with great pleasure that I present the revised second edition of this
book. Most of the changes in this version are minor, save for the inclusion
of a few more stotrs, such as Kmksh suprabhtam, Dakshinmrti ash-
takam, Santnagopla stotram, Dmodarshtakam, paduddhrana dvdaa
mukha hanumn stotram and Rangantha gadyam, to name a few. Many
atanma stotras have been added too; since the number of atanma sto-
tras has exceeded 25, I have now moved them to another part by itself.
Several corrections have also been made to many of the stotras, from pre-
vious editions. Special thanks to Sketh for proofreading Gakrdi Ganapati
Sahasranma stotram and for encoding many of the ashtottara atanma
stotras.
