SHRI VISHNU PANCHAYUDHA STOTRAM - श्रीविष्णु पञ्चायुधस्तोत्रम्

 SUBHASHITHANI:550

I have been presenting every fiftieth blog one or the other wonderful stothras. In this 550th blog I have pleasure in presenting Sri shankara's "Shri Vishnu Panchayudha stotra".

स्फुरत्सहस्रारशिखातितीव्रं

सुदर्शनं भास्करकोटितुल्यम् ।
सुरद्विषां प्राणविनाशि विष्णो

श्चक्रं सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ १॥
Sphuratsahasrarasikhatitivram  

Sudarshanam bhaskarakotitulyam I
Suravdvisham pranavninasi visnoh 

 Chakram sadaham saranam prapadye; II 1
I surrender always to the Vishnu’s wheel Sudharshana,
Which shines brighter than thousands of flames,
Which is comparable to crores of suns,
And which is the vanquisher of the enemies of devas.II

विष्णोर्मुखोत्थानिलपूरितस्य
यस्य ध्वनिर्दानवदर्पहन्ता ।
तं पाञ्चजन्यं शशिकोटिशुभ्रं
शङ्खं सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ २॥
Vishnormukhotthanilapuritasya
Yasya dhvanirdanava darpahanta I
Tam panchajanyam  sasikotishubhram
 Sankham  sadaham saranam prapadye II2
I surrender always to Lord Vishnu’s conch,Panchajanya,
Which makes sound due to the air from mouth of the Lord,
Whose sound humbles the pride of Rakshasas,
And which shines pure and white like crores of moons.II

हिरण्मयीं मेरुसमानसारां
 कौमोदकीं दैत्यकुलैकहन्त्रीम् ।
वैकुण्ठवामाग्रकराभिमृष्टां
गदां सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ३॥
Hiranmayim merusmanasaram
Kaumodakim daityakulaikahantrim I
Vaikunthavamagrakarabhimrstaam
Gadam sadaham saranam prapadye II3
I surrender always to Lord Vishnu’s mace,
Which is golden and shines like mount Meru,
Which is Koumodhaki, the destroyer of Rakshasa clans,
And which is held in the left hand of Vishnu.

रक्षोऽसुराणां कठिनोग्रकण्ठ
च्छेदक्षरच्छोणितदिग्धधाराम् ।
तं नन्दकं नाम हरेः प्रदीप्तं
खड्गं सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ४॥
Rakshosuranam kathinograkantha
Cchedaksaracchonitadigdhadharam I
Tam nandakam nama hareh pradiptam
Khadgam sadaham saranam prapadye II4
I surrender always to the sword of Lord Vishnu,
Which is hard, powerful and shines red due to the blood,
Which flows when it cuts the hardened necks of Rakshasas,
And which is called Nandaka and shines in the hand of the Lord.

यज्ज्यानिनादश्रवणात्सुराणां
चेतांसि निर्मुक्तभयानि सद्यः ।
भवन्ति दैत्याशनिबाणवल्लिः
शार्ङ्गं सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ५॥
Yajjyaninadasravanat suranam
Cetamsi nirmktabhayani sadyah I
Bhavanti daityasanibanavarasi
Sarngam sadaham saranam prapadye
Imam hareh panchamahayudhanam II
I surrender always to the Sharnga bow of Vishnu,
over powering sound of whose bow string 
removes the fear from the minds of devas instantly, and which
vanquishes asuras with continuous showers of arrows.

इमं हरेः पञ्चमहायुधानां
स्तवं पठेद्योऽनुदिनं प्रभाते ।
समस्तदुःखानि भयानि सद्यः
पापानि नश्यन्ति सुखानि सन्ति ॥ ६॥
Imam Hareh pancha mahaayudhanaam
Stavam pathedy anudinam prabhate I
Samasta duhkhani bhayani sadyah
Papani nasyanti sukhani shanty II
Those who read daily morning,
This prayer to the five weapons of Lord Vishnu,
Would get rid of all their sorrows and fears,
Destroy their sins and live happily.

वनेरणे शत्रुजलाग्निमध्ये
यदृच्छयापत्सु महाभयेषु ।
इदं पठन् स्तोत्रमनाकुलात्मा
सुखी भवेत्तत्कृतसर्वरक्षः ॥ ७॥
Vane rane shatru jalaagni madhye
Yadruchayaapatsu mahabhayeshu I
Idam patan stotra manaakulaatmaa
Sukhee bhavet kruta sarva rakshah II
In the middle of forest or war or among enemies,
Or when surrounded by water or fire,
Or unexpected dangers or during great fears,
If the worried man reads this prayer,
He would be happy as this provides all round protection.
