Kanakadhara Stotram

Sanskrit

अङ्गं हरेः पुलकभूषणमाश्रयन्ती भृङ्गाङ्गनेव मुकुलाभरणं तमालम् । अङ्गीकृताखिलविभूतिरपाङ्गलीला माङ्गल्यदास्तु मम मङ्गलदेवताया ॥

Transliteration

Aṅgaṃ Hareḥ Pulaka Bhūṣaṇam Āśrayantī Bhṛṅgāṅganeva Mukulābharaṇaṃ Tamālam | Aṅgīkṛtākhila Vibhūtir Apāṅga Līlā Māṅgalyad Āstu Mama Maṅgala Devatāyāḥ ||

Meaning

May the playful glance — laden with all prosperity — of the Divine Mother of all auspiciousness bestow auspiciousness upon me. She reclines upon the body of Hari (Vishnu), which is adorned with the ornament of horripilation (goosebumps of divine bliss), like a bee-woman resting upon a tamala tree adorned with new buds.

Sanskrit

मुग्धा मुहुर्विदधती वदने मुरारेः प्रेमत्रपाप्रणिहितानि गतागतानि । माला दृशोर्मधुकरीव महोत्पले या सा मे श्रियं दिशतु सागरसम्भवाया ॥

Transliteration

Mugdhā Muhur Vidadhati Vadane Murāreḥ Prema Trapā Praṇihitāni Gatāgatāni | Mālā Dṛśor Madhukārīva Mahotpale Yā Sā Me Śriyaṃ Diśatu Sāgara Sambhavāyāḥ ||

Meaning

She, looking fascinated, keeps casting repeatedly upon Murari's (Vishnu's) face glances full of love and bashfulness — glances that go and return again and again like a bee hovering over a great lotus. May she, who was born from the ocean, bestow prosperity upon me.

Sanskrit

आमीलिताक्षमधिगम्य मुदा मुकुन्दं आनन्दकन्दमनिमेषमनङ्गतन्त्रम् । आकेकरस्थितकनीनिकपक्ष्मनेत्रं भूत्यै भवेन्मम भुजङ्गशयाङ्गनाया ॥

Transliteration

Āmīlitākṣam Adhigamya Mudā Mukundaṃ Ānanda Kandam Animeṣam Anaṅga Tantram | Ākekara Sthita Kanīnika Pakṣma Netraṃ Bhūtyai Bhaven Mama Bhujaṅga Śayāṅganāyāḥ ||

Meaning

May the consort of the one who reclines on the serpent — she who, her eyes slightly closed with pleasure, gazed at Mukunda (Vishnu), the root of bliss, with unblinking, love-laden eyes, her pupils resting sideways, fringed with lashes — may she bestow prosperity upon me.

Sanskrit

बाह्वन्तरे मधुजितः श्रितकौस्तुभे या हारावलीव हरिनीलमयी विभाति । कामप्रदा भगवतोऽपि कटाक्षमाला कल्याणमावहतु मे कमलालयाया ॥

Transliteration

Bāhvantare Madhujitaḥ Śrita Kaustubhe Yā Hārāvalīva Hari Nīlamayī Vibhāti | Kāmapradā Bhagavato'pi Kaṭākṣa Mālā Kalyāṇam Āvahatu Me Kamalālayāyāḥ ||

Meaning

May the stream of glances from Kamalayala (Lakshmi who dwells in the lotus) — those glances that bestow all desires even upon Bhagavan Vishnu himself — those glances that shine like a dark-blue necklace resting between the arms of the slayer of Madhu (Vishnu) near his Kaustubha gem — bring auspiciousness to me.
