From last two days a friend has been messaging me to post the 'Thotakashtakam' by Adi Shankara. She doesn't want to listen to the versions available on YT including the one by Magsaysay type activists. 😏

So this MSS version is for her. In 2 parts. A short thread. 🙏

1/2.
Someone has edited beautiful old images of HH the Kanchi Paramacharya on the MSS voice. Both videos are beautiful. 😊🙏

Video 2/2.

विदिताखिलशास्त्रसुधाजलधे

महितोपनिषद्कथितार्थनिधे

हृदये कलये विमलं चरणं

भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥१॥

😊🙏
करुणावरुणालय पालय मां
भवसागरदुःखविदूनहृदम्।
रचयाखिलदर्शनतत्त्वमिदं
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम्  ॥२॥

भवता जनता सुहिता भविता
निजबोधविचारण चारुमते
कलयेश्वरजीवविवेकविदं
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥३॥

😊🙏
भव एव भवानिति मे नितरां
समजायत चेतसि कौतुकिता।
मम वारय मोहमहाजलधिं
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥४॥

सुकृतेऽधिकृते बहुधा भवतो
भविता समदर्शनलालसता ।
अतिदीनमिमं परिपालय मां
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥५॥

😊🙏
जगतीमवितुं कलिताकृतयो
विचरन्ति महामह्सश्छलतः।
अहिमांशुरिवात्र विभासि गुरो
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥६॥

गुरुपुङ्गव पुङ्गवकेतन ते
समतामयतां न हि कोऽपि सुधीः।
शरणागतवत्सल तत्वनिधे
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥७॥

😊🙏
विदिता न मया विशदैककला
न च किञ्चन काञ्चनमस्ति गुरो।
द्रुतमेव विधेहि कृपां सहजां
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम्  ॥८॥

Composed in Thotaka meter, this is a beautiful tribute to Jagadguru Adi Shankaraacharya by one of his prime disciples.

Not Shankara's composition as mentioned earlier
