॥ श्री हरि स्तोत्रम् ॥
(By Adi Shankaracharya – A hymn in praise of Lord Vishnu)
जगज्जालपालं चलत्कण्ठमालं
शरच्चन्द्रभालं महादैत्यकालम् ।
नभोनीलकायं दुरावारमायं
सुपद्मासहायं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship Lord Hari, the protector of the universe, adorned with a moving garland on His neck,
With a forehead like the autumn moon, the destroyer of mighty demons,
Whose body is like the blue sky, whose Maya (illusion) is insurmountable,
And who is forever accompanied by the divine goddess Lakshmi.
सदाम्भोधिवासं गलत्पुष्पहासं
जगत्सन्निवासं शतादित्यभासम् ।
गदाचक्रशस्त्रं लसत्पीतवस्त्रं
हसच्चारुवक्त्रं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord who resides eternally in the ocean of bliss, whose smile is as charming as a blossoming flower,
The indweller of all beings, shining like a hundred suns,
Who holds the mace and discus, adorned with yellow garments,
And whose face beams with a divine, graceful smile.
रमाकण्ठहारं श्रुतिव्रातसारं
जलान्तर्विहारं धराभारहारम् ।
चिदानन्दरूपं मनोज्ञस्वरूपं
ध्रुतानेकरूपं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord who wears Lakshmi as a garland around His neck, essence of all Vedas,
Who moves in the waters (Kshir Sagar), and removes the burden of Earth,
Who is the embodiment of pure consciousness and bliss,
Charming in form, and who takes on various forms for the protection of the world.
जराजन्महीनं परानन्दपीनं
समाधानलीनं सदैवानवीनम् ।
जगज्जन्महेतुं सुरानीककेतुं
त्रिलोकैकसेतुं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord who is free from birth and decay, who is the embodiment of supreme bliss,
Absorbed in eternal meditation, ever fresh and timeless,
The cause of creation, the banner of the gods,
And the sole bridge between the three worlds.
कृताम्नायगानं खगाधीशयानं
विमुक्तेर्निदानं हरारातिमानम् ।
स्वभक्तानुकूलं जगद्व्रुक्षमूलं
निरस्तार्तशूलं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord whose praises are sung in the Vedas, who rests on Garuda,
Who is the cause of liberation, the destroyer of Shiva’s enemies (i.e., demonic forces),
Who is always favorable to His devotees, the root of the world-tree,
And who removes the pains and sufferings of His devotees.
समस्तामरेशं द्विरेफाभकेशं
जगद्विम्बलेशं ह्रुदाकाशदेशम् ।
सदा दिव्यदेहं विमुक्ताखिलेहं
सुवैकुण्ठगेहं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord of all celestial beings, with hair adorned by bees (symbolizing sweetness),
The reflection of the universe, dwelling in the heart’s sky (inner space),
Who has a divine, immortal form free from all limitations,
And who resides in the supreme abode of Vaikuntha.
सुरालिबलिष्ठं त्रिलोकीवरिष्ठं
गुरूणां गरिष्ठं स्वरूपैकनिष्ठम् ।
सदा युद्धधीरं महावीरवीरं
महाम्भोधितीरं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the strongest among gods, the greatest among the three worlds,
The highest among gurus, ever established in His true nature,
Who is ever fearless in battle, the hero among heroes,
And the shore of the vast ocean of existence (i.e., the one who offers refuge).
रमावामभागं तलानग्रनागं
कृताधीनयागं गतारागरागम् ।
मुनीन्द्रैः सुगीतं सुरैः संपरीतं
गुणौधैरतीतं भजेऽहं भजेऽहं ॥
Meaning:
I worship the Lord who has Lakshmi on His left side, who rests on the divine serpent,
Who accepts sacrifices performed with devotion, and is beyond attachment and aversion,
Who is praised by great sages and surrounded by gods,
And who transcends even the highest virtues and qualities.
॥ फलश्रुति (Benefits of Recitation) ॥
इदं यस्तु नित्यं समाधाय चित्तं
पठेदष्टकं कण्ठहारं मुरारेः ।
स विष्णोर्विशोकं ध्रुवं याति लोकं
जराजन्मशोकं पुनर्विन्दते नो ॥
Meaning:
He who, with a focused mind, recites this garland of eight verses daily in praise of Lord Hari (Murari),
Will attain the eternal, sorrowless world of Lord Vishnu
And will be freed from the cycles of birth, old age, and suffering.
