Dadhi vamana stotram

Dadhi vamana stotram

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

( Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Vamana to kill the pride of the great Asura king Mahabali. Anointing in curd or offering rice mixed with curd are very much liked by him.
Possibly because of that this stotra is called Dadhi Vamana Stotram. I understand that there is a temple dedicated to Dadhi Vamana , near Raipur, Madhya Pradesh. The stotra in Deva Nagari script is available in
