Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)
एतावानेव लोकेऽस्मिन् पुंसां निःश्रेयसोदयः।
तीव्रेण भक्तियोगेन मनो मय्यर्पितं स्थिरम्॥१॥
मार्तिका दारवी लौही लेप्या चित्रा च सैकती।
मनोमयी मणिमयी प्रतिमाष्टविधा स्मृता॥२॥
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः।
एवम्भूतो मद्भक्तो मे सर्वतो मुक्तिमाप्नुयात्॥३॥
न रोधयति मां योगो न साङ्ख्यं धर्म एव च।
न स्वाध्यायस्तपस्त्यागो यथा भक्तिर्ममोर्जिता॥४॥
भक्त्याहमेकया ग्राह्यः श्रद्धयाऽऽत्मा प्रियः सताम्।
भक्तिः पुनाति मन्निष्ठा श्वपाकानपि सम्भवात्॥५॥
स्वर्गापवर्गयोः पुंसां रसायां भुवि सम्पदाम्।
सर्वासामपि सिद्धीनां मूलं तच्छ्रद्धया मतम्॥६॥
