स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुः...
A prayer to Lord Aiyappa of the Śabarī Hills
महिषीमति-गर्हित-कार्यपरां घन-घोर-तमोमय-काय-धराम्
निज-हूङ्कृति-धर्षित-मेघरवां गहनौकवतीमघृणामसुरीम्।
निजघान निजैर्निशितैः सजवैः विशिखैः य इमां लघु-विक्रमवान्
स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुः विजयापहृतावविवेकिगणात्॥१॥
Purport: Śabarīśa (Lord Aiyappa) made short work of the mighty Mahiṣī with his fast moving sharp shafts. Let him grant us strength to snatch Victory away from those bereft of Viveka.
तृण-भक्षक-भक्षण-शीलवतीं ज्वलदग्नि-कणोपम-नेत्रयुगां
निज-शावक-पेय-पयो-भरितां बहु-भीकर-हिंस्र-गण-प्रमुखाम्
सदमां व्यदधादनयच्च पुरं भय-हीनतया युवको य इमाम्
स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुः विजयापहृतावविवेकिगणात्॥२॥
Purport: Lord Aiyyappa, tamed a very cruel Tigress and rode on it back home (to give his step-mother the milk to overcome her fake headache). Let him grant us strength to snatch Victory away from those bereft of Viveka.
पवनं पिबतां परमं तु भयं गरुडाद्विनता-सुततो विदितम्
स हि पाद-तले कमला-दयितुर्भय-भक्ति-विनम्रतयास्ति खलु
स परः पुरुषोऽजनयत्तु सुतं दृढ-भक्ति-समन्वित-भक्त-हितं
स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुः विजयापहृतावविवेकिगणात्॥३॥
Purport: The snakes are mortally afraid of Garuḍa. The redoubtable Garuḍa serves the feet of the consort of Lakṣmi with devotion. Such Lord (in the form of Mohinī) gave birth to Lord Aiyappa who is beneficial to ardent devotees. Let him grant us strength to snatch Victory away from those bereft of Viveka.
वृषभं सुदृढं बहुपात्प्रमुखं कविभिर्वरतोपमताङ्गमितम्
निज-वाहनतां प्रतिपादितवान् पशु-लोक-पतिर्बलिभिः प्रणतः
तदुरःप्रभवः शिव-सार-समो युव-पुङ्गव-सेवित-पादतलः
स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुः विजयापहृतावविवेकिगणात्॥४॥
Purport: The Bull is powerful and it is best among the animals. Lord Śiva, himself mighty, made the bull his Vehicle. Lord Aiyyappa emerged from such Lord Śiva. Let him grant us strength to snatch Victory away from those bereft of Viveka.
व्रतपालन-पूजन-कर्म-परान् शबरीश-पदार्पित-हृत्कुसुमान्
तरुणान् स्थविरानपि बाल्यगतान् करुणा-रहिता दमयन्तधुना
प्रणता हि वयं प्रमथ-प्रमुखं मणि-कण्ठमिमान् परिवर्तयितुम्
स ददातु बलं शबरीशविभुर्विजयापहृतावविवेकिगणात्॥५॥
Purport: Small Children, Youngsters and Old people have taken up vows, having offered the flower of their heart at the feet of Lord Aiyyappa. Such devotees are now being harassed by people bereft of compassion.
We worship Lord Maṇikaṇṭha to bring about a change in these people. Let him grant us strength to snatch Victory away from those bereft of Viveka.
धर्मशास्तुः स्तवं पुण्यमिमं यो भक्तिमान् जपेत्।
सबलः क्षेमसम्पन्नो भवेत्स विजयी सदा॥
A devotee who chants this hymn on lord Dharmaśāstā will attain strength and protection and will always be successful.
इति विलम्बसंवत्सरे दक्षिणायने शरदृतौ कार्तिकमासे कृष्णपक्षैकादश्यां श्रीमद्वसन्तामहादेवसूनु-जयराम-रचितं शबरीश-स्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम्॥
