THaniyan
Sri vathsa
chinhamisrebhyo nama Ukthimadhi
mahe,
Yadhukthya sthrayi kante Yaanthi mangala
Soothrathaam.
Thaniyan
We chant the works
of the great scholar on Sri just
like we chant the Vedas,
Because they are
like the Mangalya Suthra
worn by the the mother like
Vedas.
1.Swasthi srir disathad asesha jagatham
sargopasarga Sthithi,
SWarga durgathim
apavarga padham sarvancha kurvan Hari,
Yasyaa
veekshya mukham thad ingitha
paraadheeno vidathe akhilam,
Kreedayam
khalu naanyadhaasya rasadhaa syaadhai karayatha thayaa.
1.Hail, for
undertaking the difficult
task of the creation ,
destruction,
And also protection ,as well as the ruling of
the heavens, hell and the land of
salvation
Lord Hari looks at the
face of Goddess Lakshmi as all
his actions are done as per her wishes,
As this sport of
theirs together , otherwise would not
bring any joy to them .
2.Hey SRidevi
samastha loka jananim thwaam
sthothu meehaamahe ,
Yukthaam
bhavaya bharathim pragunaaya
prema pradhaanam dhiyam,
BHakthim bhandhaya nandayasrithamimam dasam
janam thavakam ,
Lakshyam
Lakshmi kataksha veechi
visrute they syaama chami vayam.
2.Oh Goddess Sri,
you are the mother of all the worlds and I want
to pray you,
If you deem it
proper please shower
your love on this honest devotee,
Tie him with devotion
and make it grow and make him
your own slave ,
And make fall on
your devotees of this land , the
waves of your sight.
3.Stotram naama kimamananthi
kavayo yadhyan madheeyaan gunaan,
Anyathra
thwasatho adhiropya phanithissaa
tharheem vandhyaa thwayee,
SAmyak sathya gunaabhi varnana madho brooyu
kadham thaadrusee,
Vag vachaspatheenaabhi
sakya rachanaa thwath sath
gunarno nidhow.
3.Normally what
is called as prayer by others, describe
qualities which are absent,
And others
describe in a boring manner
the limited qualities of the subject.
Like a telling a bald
one has flowing hair, but in praising you
who is fit to be saluted,
If one attempts
the job of describing
hundreds of your qualities ,
Even if he is Hayagreeva
the master of words, he cannot
exhaust describing the treasure of
good qualities.
4.Ye vaachaam mansaam cha
durgraha thayaa khyaathaa gunaa sthavaka,
THaneva prathi
sambu jihwa mudhitha hai
mamikaa bharathi,
Haasyam thathu
na manmahe na hi
chakoryaka akhilaam chandrikaam,
Naalam pathumithi
praguhyaa rasanaamaseetha sathyaam thrushi.
4. Oh Goddess , it
is difficult to praise your
qualities by words or by mind ,
And when scholars
attempt to do this impossible task
with their toungue,
It is like
the Chakora bird trying
to do the impossible task of
drinking the moon ,
And knowing this I
would not be attempting to describe all
your auspicious qualities.
5,Kshodhiyanapi
dushta budhirapi nisneho
api they,
Keerthi devi
lihannaham na cha vibhemyajno
na jihremi cha,
Dush yethsaa
thu na thaavathaa na hi
shunaa leedaapi BHagiradhi
,
Dushyechavaapi na lajjathe na cha vibhethyathir asthu Saamyechunna.
5.I am
ashamed , inadequate
and not properly qualified to
praise you,
I do not have good conduct nor have
great intelligence got out of sasthras,
But in spite of it
my praise to you would not be
bad because my act,
Is like that of a
dog withot shame licking
sacred waters of Ganges.
6.Aisvaryam mahad
yeva vaa
alpam adhavaa drusyetha pumasaam hi yath,
THallakshmyaa
samudeekshanaad thava yatha sarvathrika varthathe,
Thenai thena na
vismaye mahi jagannaadhopi Narayana
,
Dhanyam
manyatha eekshanaa thava yatha sawathmaanam aathmeswara.
6.The man
strives for wealth
which is huge or small,
which are
found every where by the pleasant look of Goddess Lakshmi
And we do not find
anything strange there as Lord
Narayana , the lord of the universe
Himself considers that your glance on him
as auspicious though he is his own master .
7.Aiswaryam yada sesha
pumsi yadhidham soundarya
lavanyayo,
Roopam yascha hi
mangalam kimapi yalloke
sadithyuchyathe ,
Thath sarvam thwadheenameva yadathasririthyabedhena vaa,
Yaddhaa srimadhidrusena vachasaa
devi pradhamasnuthe.
7.All the
different types of prosperity of man
like beauty , prettiness,
Looks and all
those auspicious which are sought of people of this earth,
Are under your
control and some of them become auspicious by attachment of sri (Lakshmi),
And others by
attachment of “SRimadh” , OH Goddess
who reaches the
greatest God.
8.Devi thwan
mahima vardhana Harinaa naapi
thwayaa jnaayathe ,
Yadhyapyeva madhaapi
naiva yuvayo sarvajnathaa
heeyathe,
Yannasathyeva
thadhajnatham anugunaam sarvajnathayaa
vidhu,
Vyomambhoihamidhanthaaya kila vidhan brantho ayamithyuchyathe.
8,Oh Goddess , your greatness is not even understood by
Lord Hari himself,
And for that
matter , you yourself do not
comprehend them fully,
But in spite of that
Your being called as “all knowing one” is not
affected,
Because those of
them who pride themselves of non existent
things are deluded ones.
9.Loke
vanaspathi brahaspathi thara thamyam
,
Yasyaa prasada
parinamam mudha haranthi,
Saa BHarathi bhagwathi
thu yadheeyadhaasi,
Thaam deva deva mahishim sriyamasrayaaman.
I surrender to
the Sri the consort of God of Gods,
Whose servants
are Goddess Saraswathi as well as Goddess Parvathi,
Who would with
great joy shower on those
whom Sri is pleased,
Their
blessings without
differentiating whether they are
sages , teachers or ordinary
people.
10.Yasyaa kadaksha mrudu veekshana deekshanena,
Sadhya samullasitha pallavaullalaasa,
Viswam viparyaya samutha viparyayam praak,
Thaam deva deva
mahishim sriyam asrayama.
I surrender to
the Sri the consort of God of Gods,
Due to the power of whose
glance by the corner of her eyes,
The World which has
become benumbed during the deluge
,
Became
greatly joyous as well
as active .
11.Yasyaa
kadaksha veekshaa kshana
laksham lakshithaa mahesaasyu,
Sri Ranga raja mahishi
saa mamampi Veekshathaam Lakshmi
11.Oh queen
consort of Ranganadha , Oh Lakshmi ,
please glance on me also,
AS even if
her glance rests on one place
even for a second would
grant inestimable prosperity.
