ஸ்ரீ மந்த்ர ராஜபத ஸ்லோகம் (MandraRajaPadha Slokam in Tamil)
அன்றலர்ந்த செந்தாமரையினை வென்று நிற்கும் திருமுக மண்டலமும், திருநேத்ரமும் படைத்தவன் எம்பெருமான். அடி பணிந்தோரின் பகைவர்களை அறவே பூண்டோடு அழித்திடுபவன். தமது சிம்ம கர்ஜனையால் அண்டங்கள் அனைத்தையும் அதிரச் செய்தவன். அப்படிப்பட்ட எங்கும் பரவி நின்ற உக்ர ரூபியான எம்பெருமானை நான் வணங்குகிறேன் என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ ஈஸ்வரன். (1 )
வரத்தால் வலி மிக்கவன் அசுரனான ஹிரண்ய கசிபு. அவனை நகத்தாலே தகர்த்து எறிந்த வீரனாகிய நரசிம்ஹனை நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (2)
திருவடி பாதாளத்திலும், திருமுடி அந்திரிஷத்திலும் எண் திக்கிலும் திருக்கரங்கள் பரவி நின்ற மஹா விஷ்ணுவாகிய நரசிம்ஹனை நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (3 )
ஒளியுடைய சூரியன், சந்திரன், நக்ஷத்திரங்கள் ஆகிய அனைத்திற்கும் ஒளியானவன். இவனுடைய ஒளியினால் எல்லாம் ஒளி பெறுகின்றன. அப்படிப்பட்ட ஒளிமயமானவன், ஜ்வலிக்கின்றவனை நான் வணங்குகிறேன் என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ ஈஸ்வரன். (4 )
எல்லாவற்றையும், எங்கும், எப்போதும் புலன்களின் உதவி இன்றியே நன்கு அறிபவன். முழுமுதலான எங்கும் முகமுடைய சர்வதோமுகனை நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (5 )
நரங்கலந்த சிங்கமதான திருவுருவத்துடன் தோன்றிய மகாத்மாவானவனை, மாபெரும் பிடரியுடனும், பற்களுடனும் காட்சி அளிக்கும் ஸ்ரீ நரசிம்ஹனை வணங்குகிறேன். (6 )
எவனுடைய பெயரை நினைத்தாலே பூதங்கள், பிசாசங்கள், ராகஷசர்கள் நடுங்கி ஒடுவர்களோ, தீராத நோய்கள் அனைத்தும் தீர்ந்தொழியுமோ அப்படிப்பட்ட பீஷணனை (பயங்கரமானவனை) நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (7 )
எல்லோரும் எவனை அடி பணிந்து எல்லா விதமான மங்களங்களையும் அடைகின்றனரோ, மங்கலமானவளான ஸ்ரீ மகாலக்ஷ்மியுடன் சேர்ந்துறையும் மங்களமானவனை நான் நமஸ்கரிக்கின்றேன். (8 )
காலத்தில் வந்து பக்தர்களின் சத்த்ருகளுக்கு மிருத்யு ஆனவனான, மிருத்யுவிற்கும் மிருத்யுவான (மிருத்யுமிருத்யும்) வனை நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (9 )
அவன் திருவடிகளில் நம: என்று கூறி ஆத்ம நிவேதனம் சரணாகதி செய்து விட்டால் அவன் யாராயினும் காத்திடுவான். துயர் கெடும். இன்னல்கள் இடிபட்டோடும். இத்தகைய நலன்களை அருளும் எம்பெருமானை நான் வணங்குகிறேன். (10)
எல்லோரும் அவனது தாஸர்களே. இயற்கையிலே தாஸர்கள். நானும் அவனுக்கு தாஸன் தான் என்பதை நன்கு உணர்ந்த நான் அவனை வணங்குகிறேன். (11)
இந்த மந்திரங்களுக்கு எல்லாம் ராஜாவான ஸ்ரீ மந்திர ராஜத்தின் பதங்களின் தத்வ நிர்ணயம் சங்கரனான என்னால் மிகவும் உகந்து வெளியிடப்பட்டது. இந்த ஸ்ரீ மந்திர ராஜ பத ஸ்தோத்திரத்தை தினமும் காலையில் மதியத்தில், மாலையில் யார் உகந்து உரைக்க வல்லார்களோ அவர்களுக்கு நீங்காத செல்வமும், வளமிக்க கல்வியும், நீண்ட ஆயுளும் நலமுடன் விளங்கும் என்று பலச்ருதி கூறி முடிக்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ ஈஸ்வரன். (11)
நன்றி
மட்டபல்லியில் மலர்ந்த மறைபொருள். ஆசிரியர்: முக்கூர் லக்ஷ்மி நரசிம்மாச்சார்யார்.
லக்ஷ்மி நரசிம்ஹர் திருப்பாதங்களே சரணம்.
லக்ஷ்மி நரசிம்ஹர் திருப்பாதங்களே சரணம்.

ReplyDeletegreat effort and thanks for info
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a query about the origin of Mantraraja pada stotram.
ReplyDeleteIn your blog its mentioned "Mantrarajapada Stotram is from the Ahirbudhnya Samhita, a Paancharaatra text and is told by Lord Parameshwarar in praise of Lakshmi Narasimhar ".
I followed the url in blog http://www.srihayagrivan.org/html/ebook042.htm, in this ebook page 5 it says " INTRODUCTION TO SRI MANTRA RAAJA PADA STOTRAM:
SrI Nrusimhan has many mantrams that assure us our protection from all afflictions. Mantram has been defined as "mananAm traayatE iti mantra:".Mantram is defined here as that on recitation and japam protects the one who recites it. Among the many mantrams associated with Sri Nrusimhan , the One
revered as "Mantra Raajan" is the most powerful one. It was created by the Sarvajn~an, Sri Rudran (Sankaran) and is housed in ISvara samhitai as MantraRaaja pada stotram.
Please quote which is the correct samhita in which this great stotram can be found.
Hi Senthil,
ReplyDeleteI referred to Mukkur Swamis Book for confirmation.
He says like this
"Shree Eswara Samhithayil uzza Shree Mandra Raja Pathastotram" ..
Then he continue with "Ithu Shree Ahirputhya samhitayil irukirathu, Ahirbudyan Endru Shree Eshwaranuku peyar."
So I think the both references are correct.
Also refer to Mukkurar blogpage:-

Hi MurPriya,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for providing the information promptly & correctly based upon the info available in the authorized scriptures. Very much appreciate your effort.
Thanks & Regards,
Senthil.
I love god....narashima...thanks for the manthra in English...
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThe below line needs to be corrected.
"Saakshaat svakaale sampraaptam satrum satru
ganaanapi Bhaktaanaam naasoyed yastu mrityu mrityum namaamyaham"
Apologies for any spelling mistakes.
It should be "Saakshaat svakaale sampraaptam mrtyum satrugananvitham, bhaktaanam naasayed yastu mrtyum mrtyum namaamyaham"
Hello Sir,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your comments.
Made few more spelling corrections. Can you please check again.
Regards
Priya.
Thanks for acknowledging. Appreciate.. You are doing a good job.. Continue doing that.. You will be blessed by Lord Lakshminarasimhar..
ReplyDeletevery nice site. i am trying with my sincerest devotion and affection to Lord Lakshmi Nrisimha Swamiji, our Kuladeivam. i have a query pls clarify. Mantrarajapatha Stotram is to be recited 3 times a day. Can i recite the stotra in the early morning without taking a bath as i am send my children to school early in the morning i.e before 7 am. then only i can take bath. otherwise, i do puja and prayers and recite stotram during puja. pls let me know.
ReplyDeletesundar/delhi
Hi Sundar,
ReplyDeleteCan you please try to stretch yourself and wake-up just 10min earlier.
That will give you time for taking bath.
It is not for Narasimha Swami Im saying this. It is for you.
I have felt the difference.
Bathing is good for the body and the mind can concentrate more once you take bath.
Even your task of sending kids to school will become more pleasant once you practice taking bath in the morning.
Please give it a try.
WarmRegards
Narasimha Priya
