(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

This Kavacha apart from giving the Armour also gives the apamarjana manthra for doing the meditation.)

Kartha Veeryarjuna Dwadasa Nama stotram
Kartha Veeyarjuna dwadasa nama stotra
Translated by
P.R.ramachander
(Kartha veeryarjuna was a king of Hehaya dynasty. He is believed to be the incarnation of Vishnu Chakra. It seems Chakra was proud and Lord Vishnu wanted to teach him a lesson. He did this by killing him with his own incarnation , Parasurama.
This stotra is believed to help us recover stolen or snatched items. The stotra is to be read and then the manthra should be used to meditate or do fire sacrifice, addressed to the God )
1.Om Karthaveeryarjuno nama
Raja baahu sahasravan
Thasya smarana mathrena
Gatham nashtam cha labhyathe.
Om Salutations to Karthaveeryarjuna,
The king who has several hands,
Just my remembering him,
The loss which occurred would be got .
2.Kartha veeryaha , khala dweshi, krutha, veeryo sutho ,bali,
Sahasra bahu, shatrugno, rakthavasa dhanurdhara
Kartha veerya , hater of wicked, son of krutha veerya, strong one,
Thousand handed one , killer of enemies ,
One who lives in bloody battles , One who holds a bow.
3.Raktha gandho, Raktha malyo, Raja , smarthur , abheeshtada,
Dwasaaithani namani Kartha veeryasya ya padeth,
Sampad sthathra jayanthe jana sthathra vasamgatha,
Aanayathayasu doorastham kshema labha yutham priyam.
One with smell of blood , One who wears a garland of blood ,
King , One who is to be remembered , one who is desirable,
If these twelve names of Karthaveerya are read,
Wealth will accumulate there , people will be under their control,
Undesirable things will go far and safety and profit will come near.
4.SAhasra bahum, mahitham, sasaram sachapam,
Rakthambaram vi vidha Raktha kireeta bhoosham,
Choradhi dushta bhaya nasanam , ishta daantham,
Dhyayen maha bala Vijrumbitha Kartha veeryam
I meditate on the very strong and blossoming Kartha Veerya,
Who has thousand hands , who is honoured, holds bow and arrows,
Who wears bloddy cloths , who decorated with crowns soaked in different bloods,
Who destroya the fear to thieves and bad people and fulfills desires.
6.Yasya smarana mathrena Sarva dukha Kshayo bhaveth,
Yan naamani Maha veeraschaarjuna krutha veeryvan.
As soon as one rememvbers this all sorrow would be destroyed,
And these names of the great hero , would make,
Valorous people as great as Karthaveeryarjuna.
7.Haihayadhi pathe , stotram sahasravruthi karitham ,
Vanchithartha pradham nrunam swarajyam sukrutham yadi.
This prayer of the Lord of the Hehaya clan , if read thousand times,
Would definitely fulfill all that is desired and also ,
Get him his own country if he has good luck.
Ithi Kartha veeryarjuna dwadasa nama stotram sampoornam
