Narayana Stotram

This hymn is a beautiful devotional praise of Lord Narayana, glorifying His celestial beauty, supreme power, infinite compassion, and eternal presence. The devotee begins by surrendering to Him as the radiant treasure of the three worlds, the destroyer of sins, the refuge of the helpless, and the eternal, unborn Lord.

The verses describe His enchanting form: His complexion like a fresh rain cloud, His brilliance like the pure autumn sky, His lotus-eyes, His conch, discus, and mace shining with celestial glory. His face glows like the full moon, His smile removes sorrow, and His limbs radiate the coolness of lotuses. His nails sparkle like stars, and His entire being shines with divine purity.

The hymn also reveals His cosmic nature—He who creates, sustains, and dissolves the universe effortlessly; He who becomes the infant lying on the banyan leaf at the time of dissolution; He who is both immeasurable and intimate, both transcendent and present in every heart. His golden aura, lotus fragrance, and rising-sun brilliance symbolize His role as the remover of ignorance.

Finally, He is praised as the lotus of all worlds, the ultimate light that dispels darkness, the pure consciousness that pervades existence, and the universal healer who destroys all suffering. The devotee concludes with complete surrender, offering the heart to the Supreme Narayana.
