> Vishnu Shatpadi Stotram by Bhagavadpada Shankaracharya:
>
> When we think of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya's stotram on Bhagavan Maha
> Vishnu, the first one that usually comes to our mind is Bhaja Govindam
> (Moha Mudgara). But Shankara has also composed a six stanza metrical prayer
> in praise of Maha Vishnu called Shatpadi Stotram, beautifully describing
> the various sportive deeds of the Lord, whilst praying for His Divine
> grace.
>
> Even if one does not know Samskritam (Sanskrit), one can easily follow the
> beautiful poetic structure in the Stotram.
>
> After composing the Stotram, the great Bhagavadpada Shankara concludes by
> saying:
>
> नारायण करुणामय
> शरणं करवाणि तावकौ चरणौ ।
> इति षट्पदी मदीये
> वदनसरोजे सदा वसतु ॥७॥
>
> nārāyaṇa karuṇāmaya
> śaraṇaṃ karavāṇi tāvakau caraṇau ;
> iti ṣaṭpadī madīye
> vadanasaroje sadā vasatu .7.
>
> O Lord, I surrender myself at Your Feet
> Let me always remember this in my memory.
>
> ॥ षट्पदीस्तोत्रम् ॥
>
> अविनयमपनय विष्णो
> दमय मनः शमय विषयमृगतृष्णाम् ।
> भूतदयां विस्तारय
> तारय संसारसागरतः ॥१॥
>
> दिव्यधुनीमकरन्दे
> परिमलपरिभोगसच्चिदानन्दे ।
> श्रीपतिपदारविन्दे
> भवभयखेदच्छिदे वन्दे ॥२॥
>
> सत्यपि भेदापगमे
> नाथ तवाहं न मामकीनस्त्वम् ।
> सामुद्रो हि तरङ्गः
> क्वचन समुद्रो न तारङ्गः ॥३॥
>
> उद्धृतनगनगभिदनुज
> दनुजकुलाऽमित्र मित्रशशिदृष्टे ।
> दृष्टे भवति प्रभवति
> न भवति किं भवतिरस्कारः ॥४॥
>
> मत्स्यादिभिरवतारैः
> अवतारवतावता सदा वसुधाम् ।
> परमेश्वर परिपाल्यो
> भवता भवतापभीतोऽहम् ॥५॥
>
> दामोदर गुणमन्दिर
> सुन्दरवदनारविन्द गोविन्द ।
> भवजलधिमथनमन्दर
> परमं दरमपनय त्वं मे ॥६॥

> Translation (from Video 2):
>
> O Vishnu! Leading away from arrogance, tranquilise my mind, and destroy the
> enduring greed for desires. Scatter away the mercy for living-beings, and
> take me across the cycle of rebirth.||1||
>
> I sing praises of the lotus-feet of Lord of Lakshmi, Which has juice like
> the river Ganga, Which is fragrant and full of pleasures eternally, and
> Which breaks the shackles of the cycle of rebirth.||2||
>
> O Lord! Even though there is no difference between us (I am a part of You),
> I belong to You and not vice-versa. Just like the ocean is made of waves
> but the waves are not made up of ocean.||3||
>
> O Krishna, Who lifted the Govardhan¹! O Upendra, Who is the younger brother
> of Indra², Who is the enemy of demons, Who has sun and moon as two eyes!
> After seeing you, isn't it true that we get dispassionate about the whole
> mortal world? (Or it says that indeed Your appearance to someone destroys
> his (her) passion for the mortal world).||4||
>
> O Supreme Lord, Who protects this earth by various incarnations like Matsya
> (fish)! I am feared by the cycle of life and death and therefore I am
> worthy of being saved by You.||5||
>
> O Damodar! O Govind, Who is the temple of qualities, Who has a lotus-like
> body, Who is like the Mandarachal mountain for Ksheersagar like ocean of
> rebirth! You drive away the immense fear from my life.||6||
>
> O Narayan, Who is full of compassion! I am taking the refuge of Your
> lotus-feet. May this above-said sextet (six pada) which is like a
> bumble-bee resides in my lotus-like mouth.||7||
