SRI KRISHNAYA THUBHYAM NAMAH

Ps: Today being "Sri Rama Navami" I thought fit to present a stothram on Sri Rama. Sri Rama apaduddharaka stotram has many versions : short,medium,and long. I am presenting an extremely condensed version, equally powerful and satisfying like any other version. Regards, VNM.
