भक्तानां मानसांबोजभानवे कामधेनवे ।
नमतां कल्पतरवे जयीन्द्रगुरवे नमः ॥
ಭಕ್ತಾನಾಂ ಮಾನಸಾಂಭೋಜಭಾನವೇ ಕಾಮಧೇನವೇ |
ನಮತಾಂ ಕಲ್ಪತರವೇ ಜಯಯೀಂದ್ರಗುರವೇ ನಮಃ || 🙏
Dhanyavad to @tattvavadaelib for bringing out this sacred stotra in 9 languages with meaning in English useful for novice understanding.
As mentioned earlier the Credit should go to Sri Suvidyendra Theertharu for rendering translation (in Kannada) of this divine stotra when He was Pontiff of Mantralaya Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha, based on which subsequently English versions have come into picture based on it.
#Durithaapahara Stothram also known as Paapa Vimochana #Stothram composed by Saint Sri #Vijayeendra#Theertharu is focused at common man, an eye opener for those who are ignoring/deviating from the subtle elements of #saAdhana maarga;+
Sri #Vijayeendraru an #Aparoksha Jnaani has bestowed this Stotra for the benefit of common man like us who will always be committing sins and acquiring paApa.
Indirectly these wisdom words are revealing do's & don'ts in our day to day spiritual life. ++
This invaluable stotra is like #subhashita indicative of how a man should introspect and repent (#paschatapa) for having not utilized/utilizing the given opportunity to uplift himself.
Each sloka of this magnum opus is pa topic for elaborate discussion, learning & saadhana.
