Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)

॥ श्री सौन्दर्यलहरी (चयन) ॥

शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं

न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि।

अतस्त्वामाराध्यां हरिहरविरिञ्चादिभिरपि

प्रणन्तुं स्तोतुं वा कथमकृतपुण्यः प्रभवति॥ १॥

तनीयांसं पांसुं तव चरणपंकेरुहभवं

विरिञ्चिस्सन्धत्ते विरचयितुं लोकानविकलम्।

वहत्येनं शौरिः कथमपि सहस्रेण शिरसां

हरस्संक्षुद्यैनं भजति भसितोद्धूलनविधिम्॥ २॥

अविद्यानामन्तस्तिमिरमिहिरद्वीपनगरी

जडानां चैतन्यस्तबकमकरन्दश्रुतिझरी।

दरिद्राणां चिन्तामणिगुणनिका जन्मजलधौ

निमग्नानां दंष्ट्रा मुररिपुवराहस्य भवति॥ ३॥

त्वदन्यः पाणिभ्यामभयवरदो दैवतगणः

त्वमेका नैवासि प्रकटितवराभीत्यभिनया।

भयात् त्रातुं दातुं फलमपि च वाञ्छासमधिकं

शरण्ये लोकानां तव हि चरणावेव निपुणौ॥ ४॥

हरिस्त्वामाराध्य प्रणतजनसौभाग्यजननीम्

पुरा नारी भूत्वा पुररिपुमपि क्षोभमनयत्।

स्मरोऽपि त्वां नत्वा रतिनयनलेह्येन वपुषा

मुनीनामप्यन्तः प्रभवति हि मोहाय महताम्॥ ५॥

॥ इति श्री सौन्दर्यलहरी (चयन) सम्पूर्णम् ॥
