An ancient prayer by an unknown Vaishnava

(My Gurudeva said once that by reciting this prayer daily, one
will surely please the heart of Radha and receive her mercy.
By reciting Sri Radha-Krpa-Kataksa-Stava-Raja one will please
the heart of Sri Krsna and receive his mercy.)


Sucaru-vaktra-mandalam sukarna-ratna-kundalam
sucarcitanga-candanam namami nanda-nandanam

refrain:
(namami nanda-nandanam namami nanda-nandanam
namami nanda-nandanam namami nanda-nandanam)

I offer pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, whose face is extremely delightful, from
whose beautiful ears hang jewelled earrings, and whose entire body is anointed
with fragrant candana.

sudirgha netra-pankajam siki-sikhanda-murdhajam
anga-koti-mohanam namami nanda-nandanam

I offer pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, whose eyes are more beautiful than the
fully blossomed lotus, whose head is beautifully adorned with an arrangement of
peacock feathers, and who enchants millions of cupids.

sunasikagra-mautikam svacchanda danta-pantikam
navambudanga-cikkanam namami nanda-nandanam

I offer pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, from whose beautiful nose hangs an
elephant-pearl, whose teeth are brilliantly shining, and whose bodily
complexion is more beautiful and lustrous than a fresh raincloud.

karena venu-ranjitam gati-karindra-ganjitam
dukula-pita sobhanam namami nanda-nandanam

I offer Pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, whose lotus hands hold the flute, whose
lingering gait defeats even that of an impassioned elephant, and whose dark
limbs are beautified by a yellow shawl.

Tri-bhanga-deha-sundaram Nakha-Dyuti-Sudhakaram
amulya ratna-bhusanam Namami Nanda-Nandanam

I offer pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, whose threefold bending posture is
exquisitly elegant, the effulgence of whose toenails puts to shame even the
moon, and who wears invaluable jewels and ornaments.

Sugandha-anga-saurabha-Muroviraji-Kaustubham
Spuracchri-vatsalanchanam Namami Nanda-Nandanam

I offer Pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, whose body exudes an extraordinarily
beautiful fragrance and whose broad chest is adorned with the kaustubha jewel
and the mark of srivatsa.

Vrndavana-sunagaram Vilasanuga-vasasam
Surendra-garva-mocanam Namami Nanda-Nandanam

I offer pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, Vrndabanas expert lover, who dresses in a
manner that enhances his charming, playful pastimes, and who pulverised the
pride of Indra.

Vrajangana-sunayakam Sada suka-pradayakam
Jaganmanah pralobhanam Namami Nanda-Nandanam

I offer Pranama to Sri Nanda Nandana, who as the lover of the Vraja gopis
perpetually delights them and who enchants the minds of all living entities.

Sri Nanda-nandanastakam Pathed ya sraddhayanvitah
taredbhavabdim dustaram labhet tandanghri yugmakam

Whoever regularly recites this Sri Nanda Nandastakam will easily cross over
the seemingly insurmountable ocean of material existance and attain eternal
residence at the lotus feet of Sri Krsna.

Dear Premada,

My name is Natasha , I'm a new subscriber.

I read the prayer to Sri Nanda Nandana today morning and I like it very much.
Thank you.

I'd like to ask you, would you like to collate the Second Verse with the original? When I chant this verse, it seems to me
there must be one more syllable in third line (anga-koti-mohanam).

sudirgha netra-pankajam siki-sikhanda-murdhajam
anga-koti-mohanam namami nanda-nandanam

Thank you

I think it should be:
"ananga-koti-mohanam"
"He who attracts thousands of Cupids"

Natasha,

I'm sorry, I made some mistake in typing the prayers. The proper line is:

Ananga Koti Mohanam

Thanks for pointing out this error.

Me too, thanks. There is another Nanda-nandana-stotram as well,
from Garga-saMhitA. I'll try post it later; there is a long story
attached to it's origin.

The Phala-zruti of the stotra in GS is as follows:

zrI nanda-nandana-stotram
prAtar utthAya yaH paThet |
tan-netra-gocaro yAti
sAnandaM nanda-nandanaH || 1.20.27 ||

"The son of Nanda (Shri Krishna) jubilantly comes before the eyes
of one who rises early and recites Shri Nanda-nandana Stotra."
