Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)
॥ श्री प्रातःस्मरण स्तोत्रम् ॥
प्रातः स्मरामि हृदि संस्फुरदात्मतत्त्वं
सच्चित्सुखं परमहंसगतिं तुरीयम्।
यत्स्वप्नजागरसुषुप्तमवैति नित्यं
तद्ब्रह्म निष्कलमहं न च भूतसङ्घः॥१॥
प्रातर्भजामि मनसा वचसामगम्यं
वाचो विभान्ति निखिला यदनुग्रहेण।
यन्नेतिनेतिवचनैर्निगमा अवोचन्
तद्देवदेवमजमच्युतमाहुरग्र्यम्॥२॥
प्रातर्नमामि तमसः परमर्कवर्णं
पूर्णं सनातनपदं पुरुषोत्तमाख्यम्।
यस्मिन्निदं जगदशेषमशेषमूर्तौ
रज्ज्वां भुजङ्गम इव प्रतिभासितं वै॥३॥
॥ फलश्रुति ॥
श्लोकत्रयमिदं पुण्यं लोकत्रयविभूषणम्।

॥ इति श्रीमच्छंकराचार्यविरचितं प्रातःस्मरणस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम् ॥
