Yantroddharaka Stotra Introduction:
Yantrodharaka Stotram was written by Sage Vyasaraja. Shri Vyasaraja Theertharu uses to meditate on a hillock near Chakratirtha on the banks of Tunga River (near Hampi, Karnataka). And on one of those days during his meditation, an image of Shri Hanumantha devaru kept coming to his mind, and on that night, he had a dream wherein he was instructed to install a murthy of shri Hanumantha devaru at the spot where he was meditating earlier in the day.
During his meditation next day when the image appeared, he started to draw the image on a rock using Angara (charcoal). To his dis-belief the image came to life and jumped from the rock. He was astonished, he tried drawing the image several times, and the same repeated. Finally, Shri Vyasaraja theertharu drew a yantra (digbhandana) to confine the image of Shri Hanuman deva. Then the picture took the form of an icon on the face of the rock. Shri Vyasaraja theertharu was ecstatic and composed the Yantrodharaka Hanumat Stotra. Later on a small temple was built, and till today the temple has retained its sanctity and potency. Devotees, who perform seva at the temple, have their desires and wishes fulfilled. Several dasaru’s have composed songs extolling Shri Yantrodharaka Hanuman.
Yantroddharaka Stotra Lyrics in English:
Namami dhootham, ramasya sukhadam, suradrumam,
Peena vrutha maha bahum, sarva shatru nivaranam || 1 ||
Nanarathna samayuktha kundaladhi virajitham,
Sarvada abheeshta datharam, satham vai drudamahave || 2 ||
Vaasinam chakra theerthasya, dakshniastha girou sada,
Thungaboditha rangasya, vathena parishobithe || 3 ||
Nana desa gathai sadhbhi, sevyamanam nrupothamai,
Dhoopa dheepadhi naivedhyai, pancha khadyaischa shakthitha || 4 ||
Bhajami hanumantham hema kanthi sama prabham,
Vyasa theertha yatheendrena poojitham cha vidhanatha || 5 ||
Trivaram ya paden nithyam, bhkthya dwijothama,
Vanchitham labhathe abeeshtam, shanmasabhyanthare kalu || 6 ||
Puthrarthi labhathe puthram, yasorthi labhathe yasa,
Vidhyarthi labhathe vidhyam, dhanarthi labhathe dhanam || 7 ||
Sarvadha maasthu sandeho, hari sakshi jagatpati,
Ya karoth yathra sandeham, sa yathi narakam dhruvam || 8 ||
