Balambikashtakam 2

Translated  by

(Balambika is the consort  of Lord Vaidyanatha  of Vaitheeswaran Koil of   Tamil Nadu. The God there is considered as the king of doctors.  Very large  percentage of people belonging to Thanjavur  and Kumbakonam  districts of Tamil Nadyu consider  Vaidyanatha   as their  Kula deivam(clan God).I found this version of stotra  in a web site called http://www.thanjavurparampara.com )

1.Nathosmi they Devi supada pankajam,
Surasurendra abhi vanditham sadaa,
Parathparam   charutharam   sumangalam,
Vedarth a vedhyam  mama karya  Sidhaye.

1.For the fulfillment of my work , I  bow before,

Capable  of fulfilling  desires of devotees, and if a  person,
