Hari-Hara   ashtothara  satha nama stotram

By
Lord Yama

Translated by 
P.R.Ramachander

(Here is a very rare Stotra supposed   to be  the  instructions of Lord Yama  to his Dhoothas   requesting them  not to go near those  chanting this stotra..Every stanza contains   names of Lord Vishnu as well as  Lord Shiva. This Stotra in deva nagari letters can be found in http://stotrasamhita.net/wiki/Harihara_Ashtottara_Shatanama_Stotram)

Dhayanam
MAdhavo  madhava veesou    sarva sidhi vidhayinou ,
Vandhe parasparathamanau , Paraspara  nuthi priyou.

Dhyanam
I salute  Lord Vishnu  and god of Lord Vishnu who can grant all powers,
Who are   the most divine Gods who like   to pray each other

SAnnayakam  drudagunaam dwija kadakaam ya,
Kuryadhi maam  srajamaho sa yamam na   pasyeth

11.I am dedicating these  one hundred and eight  pretty names,
Which are  like  a garland  of  elegant    gems  ,
Of those  Lords who have  stable qualities so that they are in the throats of real Brahmins,
Sio that  this garland would make them never see  God of death.

Gana Ouchu
Itham dwijendra  nija bruthya ganan sadaiva,
SAmsikshaye  davanikan  sa hi DArma raja,
Anyebhiye hari hararka daraa  daraayaam,
They  dhooradha   punaraho  parivarjeeneya.

The Soldiers told
Thus  the Lord  of Dharma  taught  the king among Brahmins ,
As well  as his  own  servant groups for  the benefit of earth,
And also  these names of Hari and Hara   would make it possible to avoid,
And keep at a distance  the avoidable differences in the earth.

Agasthya Uvacha:-
Yo Dharma raja rachitham   lalitha prabandham,
Namavalim   sakala kalmasha bheeja hanthrim,
Dheerothra Kausthubha brutha   sasi bhooshanaya  ,
Nithyam Japeth sthanarasam na pibenna mathu.

Sage Agasthya  told:-
 This great   work composed  by Yama, the king of Dharma,
Consisting of rows of names would   destroy  the root of all evils
 If without neglecting these names  of the one who carries  the Kausthubha,
And who decorates himself with moon  is chanted, they would ,
Never ever   drink the  milk  of their   mothers   again.

Ithi   Sri Skanda Purabe   Kasi Kanda Purvardhe   Yamaproktham  Sri Harihara  astothara  satha nama   stotram  Sampoornam

Thus  comes to an end the 108 names of Hari and Hara  told by Yama occurring  in the first part of of Kasi Kanda which is in  Skanda Purana.
