प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशम्
गङ्गाधरं वृषभवाहनमम्बिकेशम् ।
खट्वाङ्गशूलवरदाभयहस्तमीशम्
संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥१॥
Many posts in this blog were written by other authors on different forums, and were not contributed to this blog. I have collected a few that I found interesting, and they are linked back to the original source.
At present, most of these posts are taken from Narasimha Rao’s public posts on facebook and the vedic-wisdom yahoo group. The complete archives of the vedic-wisdom mailing list (in the unix mbox format) can be downloaded from here.
प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशम्
गङ्गाधरं वृषभवाहनमम्बिकेशम् ।
खट्वाङ्गशूलवरदाभयहस्तमीशम्
संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥१॥
प्रातः स्मरामि शरदिन्दुकरोज्ज्वलाभाम्
सद्रत्नवत् सकलकुण्डलहारशोभाम् ।
दिव्यायुधोर्जितसुनीलसहस्रहस्ताम्
रक्तोत्पलाभचरणां भवतीं परेशाम् ॥१॥
This is a nice short स्तोत्र which takes 16 names of विष्णु and puts them into context. Though a few of the relationships are forced, most of them are natural.
औषधे चिंतयेद् विष्णुं भोजने च जनार्दनम् ।
शयने पद्मनाभं च विवाहे च प्रजापतिम् ॥
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनाथमनाथबन्धुम्
सिन्दूरपूरपरिशोभितगण्डयुग्मम् ।
उद्दण्डविघ्नपरिखण्डनचण्डदण्डम्
अाखण्डलादिसुरनायकवृन्दवन्द्यम् ॥१॥
Amongst the varied sets of slokas popularly recited each morning are the पञ्चायतन प्रातः स्मरण slokas. These are a set of 3 slokas for each of the पञ्चायतन देवताः – i.e. सूर्य, गणेश, शिव, देवी and विष्णु. They are short and simple, and yet varied and expressive. The first of these follows.
प्रातः स्मरामि खलु तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यम्
रूपं हि मण्डलमृचोऽथ तनुर्यजूंषि ।
सामानि यस्य किरणाः प्रभवादिहेतुम्
ब्रह्माहरात्मकमलक्ष्यमचिन्त्यरूपम् ॥१॥
