The glow resembling moonlight emanating from the toes of Sasta who is the sum and substance of the merits of the enemy of Malla, Vishnu and the destroyer of Tripura, Shiva which has taken shape like a moon, gives great jubilation to my heart which resembles a lotus.

Oh Bhutanaatha, you are wandering around the mountain ranges of Shabari and the terrain too tough and difficult to live. See, our inner selves and minds are very soft and tender in comparison to those tough mountain terrain. Therefore I would consider it better if you lived happily and comfortably in our minds instead of living in the tough landscape of Shabari giri

The excellent elephant trainer who is named Shasta who has subdued the arrogance of numerous elephants in the shape of Asuras, is now shattering to disarray the group of elephants in the shape of the soldiers of the enemy fold, through the use of his very active side glance which pierces like the fall of sharp hook used to control the huge animals.

The vibration of the string of the imposing bow held on one tipe of the hands of the Lord produces a very challenging noise and perhaps the two hands of Bhuthanaatha which resemble two huge snakes which are near the bow string too look terrified and are shaking in unison, it would seem

I seek protection by the two arms of Shasta whose fingertips are bright and well-formed fingers are adorned by rings which are studded with brilliant gems, and they look like the pair of five-headed lions adorned with gems formed at the tip of a powerful sepant of bright dark hue, that are his arms.

I do not know anything that is as attractive and beautiful as the face of the son born to Hari and Hara. A comparison to the beauty of that face makes the lotus flower ugly and the brilliant beauty of the moon is just renderes as lacking in lustre as a lamp lit on broad daylight

The moon acquired blemishes on its face through the contamination of whatever blemish was attributed to the beautiful face of the Lord of everything and Bhuthanaatha, Sastha, therefore the Lords face became blemishless and the moons face became marked with blemishes.

In practive noe one actually calls the bright orb of the moon as the brilliant lunar orb. Only the attractive face of the sone of Hari and Hara which shines like the moon with full red lips is at present termed as the disc of moon in all its beauty and splendour..

May that full red lip of the son of Hari and Gireesha be with me for my extreme happiness.

May those evenly formed row of teeth of the Lord Shasta may ever be in my meditative memory. The row of teeth have hidden inside the mouth of Sasta like the group of stars in the sky which have gone on a hiding because they are sad about being separated from their consort, the moon during daytime

May that beautifully shaped nose of Shasta shine in my meditative mind. That well shaped mouth with attractive rise and curve at the corner shines like a beautiful bud of attractive colour and size place rightly above the mouth of the lord.



करुणासरसि समुदितं हरिहरसुतचारुनयननळिनयुगम्।

मृदुहसितचन्द्रिकायाः सुवदने मोमोत्ति तच्चित्रम्॥८७

karuṇāsarasi samuditaṁ hariharasutacārunayananaḻinayugam|

mṛduhasitacandrikāyāḥ suvadane momotti taccitram||87

The pair of lotus like eyes of Shasta are floating in the lake of mercy and compassion for the devotees. It is indeed very strange that that pair of lotus have bloomed on the attractive face of the Lord even when that face is spreading the cool soothing moonlight through its sweet smile.

वदनरुचिजलधिविहरणसमुदितवैसारिणानुकारि मम।

हरिहरसुतनयनयुगळमपहरतु स्वान्तदोषमधिकतरम्॥८८

vadanarucijaladhiviharaṇasamuditavaisāriṇānukāri mama|

hariharasutanayanayugaḻamapaharatu svāntadośamadhikataram||88



May those beautiful pair of eyes of the son of Hari and Hara remove and eradicate the accumulation of sins and bad karmas within me. Those two eyes resemble a pair of fish floating in the happy waters of the most attractive face of the Lord.

युवतिमणिपुष्कलांबापूर्ण्णांबावदनकमलरसलोलः।

अळिपोत इव कटाक्षः सन्ततमन्तश्चकास्तु मम शास्तुः॥८९

yuvatimaṇipuṣkalāṁbāpūrṇṇāṁbāvadanakamalarasalolaḥ|

aḻipota iva kaṭākṣaḥ santatamantaścakāstu mam śāstuḥ||89

Those sidelong glances of Sasta which resemble young bees, ever remain lodged in my inner region. Those side glances are always eagerly engaged in enjoying the beauty of his consorts Poornaambaa and PuShkalaamba, the best among damsels, whose faces resemble beautiful lotuses.

स्वस्वामिपदमुखद्युतिपरिभवजन्यं क्षमापयितुमागः।

श्रितकर्णौ वार्केन्दू दिशतां मे स्वस्तिकूण्डले मे शास्तुः॥९०

svasvāmipadamukhadyutiparibhavajanyaṁ kṣamāpayitumāgaḥ|

śritakarṇau vārkendū diśatāṁ me svastikūṇḍale me śāstuḥ||90

May the Kundalas of Shasta, which are snuggling on to His beautiful ears bless me with welfare.. They resemble the Sun and the moon who have come on a visit to the lord with an apology to Him about their lack of capacity to match the brightness of the Lord’s face.





शास्तुर्गण्डयुगस्यानन्तर्याद् बिंबितात्मतनुदृष्ट्या।

पार्श्वगतदारयुगळेनान्यवधूगतमशङ्कि तत् पत्यौ॥९१

śāsturgaṇḍayugasyānantaryād biṁbitātmatanudṛṣṭyā|

pārśvagatadārayugaḻenānyavadhūgatamaśaṅki tat patyau||91



The cheeks of the Lord as so bright and gives such perfect reflection of images that when people saw their own exact reflection there with their wives too they simply got the illusion that they were standing with their own wives on the one side and with and additional wife on the other side.

सर्गस्थविलयानां वृत्तिर् जगतो ममैव वृत्तिरिति।

उद्धतमिव यत्तरळं भ्रूयुगळं तच्चकास्तु मम शास्तुः॥९२

sargasthavilayānāṁ vṛttir jagato mamaiva vṛttiriti|

uddhatamiva yattaraḻaṁ bhrūyugaḻaṁ taccakāstu mama śāstuḥ||92





May those attractive brows of Shasta which are curved daintily in contemplation protect me. The arching of that brow reflects his thoughts that the creation, maintenance and destruction happening in this universe is his own function happening through the twitch of those eyebrows.







शास्तुश्चकास्तु मम हृदि पदभजनात् प्राप्तमुन्नतपदं मे।

इत्येवमुदितमोदं शशिशकलमिवातिविमलमळीकतलम्॥९३

śāstuścakāstu mama hṛdi padabhajanāt prāptamunnatapadaṁme|

ityevamuditamodaṁ śaśiśakalamivātivimalamaḻīkatalam||93

May the curl of hair resembling a lunar crescent adorning the forehead of Shasta remain in my heart and protect me. That curly hair is moving daintily being extremely pleased that it has reached such high position to adorn the head of the lord only because it served the lotus feet of the lord for long periods.

अलकाः स्फुरन्तु शास्त्रुर्लळिताः कळभाः इवान्तरङ्गे नः।

कचगळलोलुपाश्रितसुरतरुकुसुमानुवर्तिनोऽळिनाम्॥९४

alakāḥ sphurantu śāstrurlaḻītāḥ kaḻabhāḥ ivāntarage naḥ|

kacagaḻalolupāśritasuratarukusumānuvartino'ḻinām||94

May those locks of hair which are soft and dark shine within my inner self. They are like young elephants which have come in pursuit of bees which have camped in the neck area of the lord which is decorated with flowers from the Kalpakavriksha, the divine tree.

निजपतिसहजाभरणात् स्वातिप्रियमुपहृतमिव गुहशिखिना।

उत्तंसितां सदान्तःसत्तमबर्हं चकास्तु मम शास्तुः॥९५

nijapatisahajābharaṇāt svātipriyamupahṛtamiva guhaśikhinā|

uttaṁsitāṁ sadāntaḥsattamabarhaṁ cakāstu mama śāstuḥ||95

The peacock which is the vehicle of Subramania the brother of Sasta has presented its best feather as ornament to the brother of its own master. May that feather of superior quality and beauty ever shine in my mind as Sastas ornament.

हैमं माणिक्य मणिकिरणपरिहसितकनकशिखरशृङ्गम्।

अन्तश्चकास्तु मकुटं भूषितभूतेश्वरोत्तमाङ्गं नः॥९६

haimaṁ māṇikya maṇikiraṇaparihasitakanakaśikharaśṛṅgam|

antaścakāstu makuṭaṁ bhūṣitabhūteśvarottamāṅgaṁ naḥ||96

May the crown that adorns the head of Bhutesvara the Sasta, the crown made of pure gold, which could give a sense of shame because of its superior beauty through its shine, to a mountain peak of gold studded with precious gems, remain etched in our minds.



परिहर सकलविपत्तिं वितर स्वामिन् सर्वसंपत्तिम्।

करतलधृतशरधनुषे हरिहरजनुषे नमो नमस्तुभ्यम्॥९७

parihara sakalavipattiṁ vitara svāmin sarvasaṁpattim|

karataladhṛtaśaradhanuṣe hariharajanuṣe namo namastubhyam||97

Oh Lord may your grace be pleased to remove all the dangers that would befall me. May your sweet grace be pleased to bless me will all riches and prosperity. My lord, who holds bow and arrow in you hands, my lord who is the eminent son of Hari and Hari, I offer my prostrations again and again to your merciful Grace.

निखिलचराचरबधो मुखरुचिपरिभूतकुमुदिनीबन्धो।

स्वामिन् करुणासिन्धो करुणां मयि धेहि दीनजनबन्धो॥९८

nikhilacarācarabadho mukharuciparibhūtakumudinībandho|

svāmin karuṇāsindho karuṇāṁ mayi dhehi dīnajanabandho||98

My lord, you are the closest relative of all the moving and immovable beings in this vast univers, your sweet beautiful face pushes to the rear in beauty even the shining orb of the Moon who is the friend of Lily flower. You are a huge ocean of Mercy and compaassion. You are affectionate towards people who suffer misery. May your sweet Grace be pleased to shower your abundant mercy on me.

भुवनेश भूतनायक भवतश्चरणांबुजयुगळे मे।

भूयस्तराऽस्तु भक्तिर्भूयो भूयो नमो नमस्तुभ्यम्॥९९

bhuvaneśa bhūtanāyaka bhavataścaraṇāṁbujayugaḻe me|

bhūyastarā'stu bhaktirbhūyo bhūyo namo namastubhyam||99

Oh Lord, the master of the univers, Oh Lord the leader of the Bhootas, may I be endowed with eternal devotion at your pair of feet which shine forth like lotus. May I be endowed with utter devotion, again and again, eternally at your lotus feet. May humble pranams to your sweet Grace.

सततं तय्येवाहितकुशलविचिन्ताभरे निराधारे।

कुरु मयि करुणालेशं कालविळंभं निरस्य करुणाब्धे॥१००

satataṁ tayyevāhitakuśalavicintābhare nirādhāre|

kuru mayi karuṇāleśaṁ kālaviḻaṁbhaṁ nirasya karuṇābdhe||100

Oh Lord, I am always mired in utter anxiety about my safety and security, I have no one else other than your grace to depend on for support, please avoid delay in helping me, you ocean of mercy, please show a little, little mercy on me.

ज्ञात्वा वाऽज्ञात्वा वा मानसवाक्कायविहितमागो नः।

सर्वं क्षमव भगवन् भूयो भूयो नमस्तुभ्यम्॥१०१

jñātvā vā'jñātvā vā mānasavākāyavihitamāgo naḥ|

sarvaṁ kṣamava bhagavan bhūyo bhūyo namastubhyam||101

Beloved Lord, knowingly and unknowingly I have or I would have caused offence to you many times.. May your grace be pleased to pardon me.. You the Bhagavan, the storehous of all eminence and bounty, my pranams to you again and again.

शास्तुः स्तुतिशतकमिदं नित्यं प्रत्युषसि भक्तियुतो यः।

पठति स भूतेशस्य प्रीतिमिहान्ते व्रजेच्च सायूज्यम्॥१०२

śātuḥ stutiśatakamidaṁ nityaṁ pratyuṣasi bhaktiyuto yaḥ|

paṭhati sa bhūteśasya prītimihānte vrajecca sāyūjyam||102



whoever that reads and recites early in the dawn, with utter devotion this collection of hundred prayers in praise of Lord Shasta, would be the receptacle of the sweet grace of the Lord of Bhutas in this lifetime on earth and would attain oneness with the Lord when he departs.
