Sri Ranga Stotram
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Here is a pretty prayer addressed to Lord Ranga Natha of Sri Rangam. Many of
the lines bear some similarity to the
famous Ranganathashtakam written by Adhi Sankara. I do not know who wrote it and have taken it
from the collection of prayers published
in Tamil by Giri Traders , Madras. There is a similar stotra in the web site http://stotram.co.in/sriranga-stotram/.
There are differences between this stotra and the one given in the web site.)
