Prahladha
vara pradhana sthuthi
By
Prahladha
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
( After Hiranya Kasipu
is executed , Brahma and other
devas pray to Lord Narasimha ( http://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2011/03/nrusimha-sthuthi.html
) and then Prahladha himself prays to the God (http://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2011/02/narasimha-sthuthi-of-prahladha.html
).PLeased with his prayer Lord Nrusimha asks
Prahladha to ask for boons. This great
prayer is the answer to that
question.Prahladha feels that the God
offering him boons, shows that Prahladha
is not a devotee but a merchant .Later thE god blesses him to be the emperor of
Asuras . This is contained in Bhagavatha Skanda 7 chapter 10
slokas 2-14)
1.Maam maam pralobyothpathya aasaktham,
Kaameshu thair varai,
Thathsanga bheetho nirvinno,
Mumukshu sthwaam
upaasritha
Please please do
not tempt me ,
Born in the clan
of asuras, I am already after things,
And only due to fear of being imprisoned by them,
I depended on you to get salvation.
2,Bruthya lakshana jigjnaasu,
Bhaktham
kameshwachodhayath
Bhavan samsara
bheejeshu,
Hrudaya
grandishu prabho.
Oh lord , you
might have tempted me,
By the desire for these which are ,
Roots of Samsara which tie the mind,
Perhaps to show the world, who a real devotee is?
3.Naanyadhhaa they
akhila guro,
Ghatetha karunathmanaa,
Yastha aasisha aasasthe,
Na sa bruthya
sa vai vanik.
Oh Guru of all, Otherwise
, this ,
Temptation is not
suitable to you,
He who desires boons
from you,
Is not a devotee but a merchant.
4.Aashaasaano na
vai bruthya,
Swaminyaasisha aathmana,
Na swami bruthyatha swamyam,
Ichchan yo raaathi
chaasisha.
He who is
prepared to serve some one else,
Is not the real
devotee and the God,
Who wanting some thing from his servant ,
And fulfills his desires is not God.
5.Aham thwa kamasthwad bhaktha,
THwam chaswamyanapaasraya,
Naanyadhehavayor artho,
Raja sevaka yoriva
I am your devotee
desiring nothing,
And you are god
who does not depend on any one ,
Just like the
king and his servant ,
We do not have use
of each other.
6.Yadhi raaseesa may kaamaan,
Varaan thwam varadarshabha,
Kaamaanaam
hrudhya samroham,
Bhavathasthu
vrune varam.
Oh God , who is
the greatest boon giver,
If you are particular
to give me a boon,
I am requesting
you a boon,
That no desire should ever come in my mind.
7.Indriyaani mana praanaa,
Aathmaa dharmo
druthir mathi,
Hee sristheja smruthi
sathyam,
Yasya
nasyanthi janmanaa
When desire
rises in the mind,
The senses, mind, soul and body becomes weak,
And we also loose the consciousness of Dharma,
Courage ,intelligence, humility , prosperousness,
Luster , memory as well
as practice of truth.
8.Vimunchathi yadhaa kaamaan,
Manavo manasi sthithaan,
THarhyevapundarikaksha,
Bhagawaththwaaya
kalpyathe.
When man is able
to ,
Leave out all the
desire in his mind,
Oh Lord
Pundarikaksha , he becomes,
Eligible to
get salvation.
9.Namo bhagawathe thubhyam,
Purushaya mahathmane ,
Haraye
adbutha simhaayaa,
Brahmane
paramaathmane.
Salutation to you Oh God,
Who is the great
person called Purusha,
Oh Hari who is
the lion of great wonder,
Who is the
Brahman and the divine soul.
Narasimha Uvacha:-
God nrusimha said
10.Naikanthini may mayi
jaathwihasisha,
Aasaasathe amrutha cha
ye bhavath vidhaa,
Adhapi
manvantharemethadhathra,
Daithyeswaraanaam
anubunksha bhogaan.
Secluded Devotees like you
do not have ,
Any desire in this
or other worlds,.
But I bless you that
you be emperor ofAsuras,
For manwanthara and
enjoy all the pleasures of that
position.
11.Kadhaa madheeyaa
jushamaaNAA priyaasthwam,
AAvesya maam
aathmani santhamekam,
Sarveshu
bootheshwadhiyajna meesam,
Yajaswa
yogena cha karma hinwan.
Please hear the dear
stories that describe my sports,
Always wear in your heart me
who is the God of all,
Who lives inside
all beings and Who is the one who
gives,
Results of all prayers and dedicate all your actions to me,
And worship me that away and then you will become detached.
12.Bhogena punyam, kusalena paapam,
Kalewaram kaala
jawena hithwaa,
Keerthim vishudham
suraloka geethaam,
Vithaaya maameshyasi
muktha bandhaa.
End punyas by enjoying their fruit and end sins,
By doing good and pure deeds and let you,
Get detached from your body over t6ime and you,
Who is being praised
even in deva loka will reach me.
13>ya ethath keerthayen mahyam,
Thwayaa geetha midham nara,
Thwaa cha maam cha smaran kaale,
Karma bandhaath
pramuchyathe.
Those men who remembering ,
Me as well as you, sing this poem,
And meditate on
you and me in proper time,
Would get detached
from results of action
