Hari Stotram in Gujarati · ગુજરાતી
ઉત્પત્તિ અને કથા
A classical Sanskrit hymn to Vishnu · Traditionally attributed to Swami Brahmananda
The Hari Stotram is a much-loved devotional hymn to Vishnu, known the world over by its opening word 'Jagajjalapalam'. In nine flowing verses of the Bhujangaprayata metre, it gathers a cascade of compound epithets — Hari as the sustainer of the worlds, the sky-blue Lord whose maya none can cross, the husband of Lakshmi, the one bridge across the three worlds — each verse closing with the heartfelt refrain 'Bhaje'ham Bhaje'ham', 'Him I worship, Him I worship'. The final verse promises the reciter the sorrowless abode of Vishnu and freedom from rebirth. It is traditionally attributed to Swami Brahmananda and remains a favourite for Thursday and Ekadashi worship.

અર્થ:He who is sung by all the Vedas, who rides upon Garuda the king of birds; the very source of liberation, the humbler of the enemies' pride. Ever gracious to His devotees, the root of the great tree of the world, who casts away the piercing spear of suffering — Him I worship, Him I worship.

અર્થ:He who keeps Lakshmi at His left side, who reclines upon the serpent; to whom all sacrifices are made subordinate, who is utterly free of passion and attachment. Beautifully sung by the foremost sages, encircled by the gods, beyond the flood of all qualities — Him I worship, Him I worship.
