श्री स्तुति
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
मानातीत-प्रथित-विभवां मङ्गलं मङ्गलानां
वक्षःपीठीं मधु-विजयिनो भूषयन्तीं स्वकान्त्या।
प्रत्यक्षानुश्रविक-महिमां श्रीधर-इति प्रतीतां
श्री-रङ्गेऽस्मिन् जनयतु मम श्रीमती स्वान्-कटाक्षान्॥
Mānātīta-prathita-vibhavāṁ maṅgalaṁ maṅgalānāṁ
vakṣaḥpīṭhīṁ madhu-vijayino bhūṣayantīṁ svakāntyā।
Pratyakṣānuśravika-mahimāṁ śrīdhara-iti pratītāṁ
śrī-raṅge'smin janayatu mama śrīmatī svān-kaṭākṣān॥
May the glorious Goddess Sri — whose majesty, widely renowned, is beyond all measure; who is the auspiciousness of all auspicious things; who adorns with her own radiance the chest of the conqueror of Madhu (Vishnu); whose greatness is established both by direct experience and by scripture, and is proclaimed in the very name 'Shridhara' — may She, here at Srirangam, cast upon me her gracious sidelong glances.
Verse 2
आविर्भावस्तव शतमखोपात्त-पुण्योदयानां
पातु क्षीराम्बुधि-तनय यः प्रादुरासीत् पुरस्तात्।
पर्याप्तं तं भजति महिमा यस्य ते नैव दृष्टः
सिन्धोर्वेला-तट इव जगत्-त्राण-दीक्षा-गुरुस्त्वम्॥
Āvirbhāvastava śatamakhopātta-puṇyodayānāṁ
pātu kṣīrāmbudhi-tanaya yaḥ prādurāsīt purastāt।
Paryāptaṁ taṁ bhajati mahimā yasya te naiva dṛṣṭaḥ
sindhorvelā-taṭa iva jagat-trāṇa-dīkṣā-gurustvam॥
O daughter of the ocean of milk! May your manifestation protect us — that appearance which arose first (at the churning of the ocean) for those whose merit, gathered through a hundred sacrifices, had ripened. Your glory none has ever seen to its limit, even as the far shore of the ocean is never sighted; you are the very guru consecrated to the protection of the world.
Verse 3
ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रियै नमः॥
Oṁ śrīṁ hrīṁ śriyai namaḥ॥
Om Shrim Hrim — salutations to Sri.
