Satyam braveemi paraloka hitham braveemi saaram
braveemyupa nishadrudayam braveemi
Samsaara mulbanamasaa ramavaapya janthoh
saaroya meeshwara padamburuhasya sevaa //1//
Ye narchayanthi gireesham samaye pradoshe
yenarchitham shivamapi pranamanthi chaanye
Ethathkatham sruthiputairnapi bamthi moodha sthe
janma janmasu bhavanthi naraa daridraah //2//
ye vai pradosha samaye parameshwarasya
kurvanthya nasyamana songhri saroja poojaam
nityam pravruddha dhana dhaanya kalathra putra
sowbhagya samapadadhi kastha ihaiva loke //3//
kailasa shaila bhuvane trijagajjanithrim gowreem
niveshya kanakanchitha rathnapeethe
nruthyam vidhathumabhi vanchathi shulapaanau
deevam pradosha samayenu bhajanthi sarve //4//
vaagdevi druthavallaki shatamakho venum dadathpadmaja
sthalo nnidrakaro ramaa bhagavathee geya prayoganvitha
Vishnu ssandra mrudanga vaadana paturdeva ssmanthaath
Sthitha sevam the thamanu pradosha samaye devam mrudaanipathim //5//
Gandharva yakshapatha goraga siddha sadhya
Vidyadharamara varapsarasam ganashcha yenye
Triloka nilayassaha bhutha vargaa prapya
Pradosha samaye haraparshva sasamsthaah //6//
Athah pradoshe shivaekaeva poojyotha
Naanye haripadma jaadyah
Thasmin maheshe vidhine jyamane
Sarve praseedanthi suradhi naathaah //7//
Esha thei thanayah purva janmani brahmanotthamah
Prathigra hairvayo nityam nadanadyai sukarmabhih //8//
Atho daridra maapanna putrasthe dwijabhaamini
Thaddosha hariharartham saranam yaathu shankaram //9//
Dear Sir, IT IS A VERY GOOD USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE SITE REGARDING THE NEWS OF HINDUISM ALL OVER THE WORLD BUT I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR FOR YOU SEE IF IT CAN BE DONE. AS YOU YOURSELF HAVE SAID THAT THE ABOVE PRADOSHAM STOTRA IS VERY RARELY FOUND( IN ONE OF THE OTHER SITES THERE WAS THE PROCEDURE TO THE POOJA BUT THE STOTRA WAS NOT GIVEN) WHEN I WAS A STUDENT MY PARENTS USED TO MAKE ME WRITE SO THAT WHILE I HAD TO READ MEMORIZE AND THEN WRITE AS IT WAS A SURE WAY OF REMEMBERING WHAT I HAD STUDIED BUT NOW DUE TO LACK OF TIME MY WRITING THINGS HAVE COME DOWN. I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD/COPY THE PAGE SO WHEN I HAVE TO WRITE IT THERE MAYBE MISTAKES SO CAN YOU PLEASE FACILITATE THE DOWNLOADING OR ALLOW THE PAGE TO BE COPIED. IT IS MY HOMBLE REQUEST. HOPE YOU CONSIDER IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Thanking You, Yours Faithfully, B.Prasanna Kumar.
Thank you so much your kind words. We will do the needful as soon as possible.
Sir Greetings
Thank you for the rare and auspicious stotra. Will it be possible to get this as well as other stotras chanted by learned sanskrit scholars and Acharyas and the same be made available to the general public on Youtube. I came across Vishnu Sahastranam chanted in the most melodius manner by Shri S.P. Balasubramanium.
We will soon upload it on Youtube. Thanks for appreciation.
I may be excused, it is not Sree Vishnu “Sahastranam,” but Sree Vishnu “Sahasranama” stotram.
Can we get “pradosh ashtkam” in संस्कृत….
