Apamarjana Stotram

Apamarjana Stotram
(The prayer for cleaning mind and body)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Aparjana stotram is a prayer addressed to various forms of Vishnu as well as Sudarshana Chakra to clean our body and mind of various sickness as well as afflictions by evil spirits as well as planets . This occurs in the Vishnu Dharmothara Purana ,. At the beginning of the prayer Saint Dhalabhya requests sage Agasthya for the benefit of all living beings, the method of getting cured of all the sicknesses and afflictions. Sage Agasthya then teaches him this great prayer. The Sanskrit text of this stotram along with an introduction and commentary is available in
http://www.ibiblio.org/sadagopan/ahobilavalli/apamarjana.pdf
I have consulted this great work before making my own translation.
Apamarjana Kavacham from the Vishnu Dharmothara Purana has been recently translated by me and can be found in
http://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2011/01/apamarjana-stotram.html
This Kavacha apart from giving the Armour also gives the apamarjana manthra for doing the meditation.)
