Matsya Stotram 

{Prayer to the Fish} 
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

{Here is a rare prayer praising the Mathsya avatara of Lord Vishnu.}

Noonam thwam Bhagawan sakshath harir narayano avyaya, 
Anugrahaya bhoothanam dhathse roopam jalokasam. 1

Hey Lord Vishnu who does not have death, 
You, who is the real Lord Vishnu, 
Even took the form of living being in water, 
For showering your blessings on all beings.

Namasthe purusha sreshta, sthithyuthpathivyayayeswara, 
Bhakthanam na prapannanam mukhyo athma gathir vibho. 2

Salutations to the greatest among males, 
Who is responsible for creation, upkeep and destruction, 
And for us devotees who are seeking your protection, 
You are the only means leading to their salvation.

Sarva leelavtharasthe bhoothanam bhoothi hethava, 
Gnathumichamyadho roopam yadartham bhavatha drutham. 3

Hey god all your incarnations are for the well being of the world, 
And I would like to know, what is the necessity of your real form.

Na they aravindaksha, padhopasarpanam, 
Mrusha bhaveth sarva suhruth priyathmana, 
Yadatharesham pradagathmanam satha, 
Madheedruso yadwapraadhbhutham na. 4

Is it not a fact, lotus eyed Lord, 
Who is the friend and relation of all, 
That total surrender to your feet is never useless, 
For you showed your wonderful form, 
To the great sages as well as humble devotees like us.

Lord Vamana

Yagnesa yagna purushachyutha theerthapada, 
Theerthasrava sravana mangala namadheya, 
Aapanna loka vrjinopasamodhayadhya, 
Sam na krudheesa bhagawannasi dheena nadha. 1

Oh God who is the lord of the oppressed, 
Who is the chief of Yagna*, who is Achyutha, 
Of the form of Yagna, whose feet is the sacred waters, 
Who is the entire holy waters, who is good to hear, 
Who is interested in destroying sins of those who approach him, 
And who is primeval, Please shower good things on us. 
*Fire sacrifice

Viswaya viswabhavana sthithi samyamaya, 
Swairam graheetha puru shakthi gunaya bhoomne, 
Swasthaya saswad upa braamhitha punya bhodham, 
Vyapadhithathma thamase haraye namasthe. 2

Salutations to the Hari, who is the universe, 
Who does creation, upkeep and destruction of the universe, 
Who is responsible for the illusion and in spite is in a stable form, 
Who by the permanent luster of the total knowledge, 
Does not give way, to darkness in his soul.

Aayu param vapurabheeshtamathulya lakshmeer, 
Dhyobhoorasa sakala yoga gunasthrivarga, 
Jnanam cha kevalamanantha, bhavathi thushta, 
Thwatho nrunaam kimu swapatna jayadhirasi. 3

If you are pleased oh God, we will be allotted, 
The full life span of Brahma, any type of body, 
That we want, countless wealth , 
Control over the three worlds and all sorts of wealth, 
And would you not bless us with a simple victory over enemy?
