Thulasi Stotram

Thulasi Stotram
By Sage Pundareeka

Jagad dhathri namasthubhyam,
Vishoncha Priya vallabhe,
Yathro Brahmadayo deva,
Srushti sthithyantha karina. 1

Salutations to mother of the universe,
Who is the darling wife of Lord Vishnu,
And due to you only, Brahma and others,
Are engaged in creation, upkeep and destruction.

Namas thulasi Kalyani,
Namo Vishnu priye Shubhe,
Namo moksha pradhe devi,
Nama sampath pradhayike. 2

Salutations to the benevolent Thulasi,
Salutations to the holy darling of Vishnu
Salutations to goddess giving salvation,
Salutations to her who grants wealth.

Thulasi pathu maam nithyam,
SArva aapthbhyobhi sarvadha,
Keerthithapi, smruthavapi,
Pavithrayathi manavam. 3

Oh Thulasi, daily protect me,
Always from all dangers,
For you make than one holy,
Who sings or thinks about you.

Namami sirasa devim,
Thulasim vilasa thanum,
Yaam drushtwa papinor marthya,
Muchyanthe sarva kil bhishath. 4

I prostrate with my head before the Goddess,
Who gives brightness to our body,
And seeing her, the sinful humans,
Would get rid of all sort of sins.

Thulasya rakshtham sarvam,
Jagadhedha characharam,
Ya vinihanthi paapaani,
Drushtwa ya papibhir narai. 5

Thulasi protects all,
The universe with its movable and immovable,
And when a man who is a sinner,
Sees it, it destroys all his sins,

Nama thulasyathi tharam,
Yasyai bhadwa balim kalou,
Kalayanthi sukham sarvam,
Sthriyo Vaisya thadapare. 6

Salutations to Thulasi the great,
Who removes the bondage of Kali age,
And it blesses with a pleasant life,
To women and the merchant class.

Thulasya naparam kinchith,
Daivatham jagathi thale,
Yaya pavithratho loko,
Vishnu sangena Vaishnava. 7

There is nothing in this world,
As divine as Thulasi,
For it makes the world pure,
And blesses Vaishnavas,
With company of Lord Vishnu.

Thulasya pallavam Vishno,
Sirasyaropitham kalou,
Aaropayathi sarvaani,
Seshayamsi vara masthake. 8

In the kali age, If thulasi lea,
Is offered to the head of Vishnu,
It is same thing as receiving,
The blessings of Vishnu on your head.

Thulasyam sakala deva,
Vasanthi sathatham yatha,
Atha stham archaye loke,
Sarvan devan samarchayeth. 9

Always in the Thulasi plant,
All gods live forever,
And so worshipping Thulasi,
Is same as worshipping all devas.

Namasthulasi sarvagne,
Purushothama Vallabhe,
Pahi maam srava paapebhyo,
Sarva sampath pradhayige, 10

Salutations to all knowing Thulasi,
Who is the consort of Lord Vishnu,
Save me from all the sins.
Oh bestower of all sort of wealth.

Ithi stotram pura geetham,
Pundareekena dheematha,
Vishnu marchayatha nithyam,
Shobhanai thulai dalai. 11.

This prayer was composed,
By Pundareeka the able one,
Who worshipped lord Vishnu daily,
By the divine leaf of Thulasi.

Thulasi, sri mahalakshmi,
Vidhya avidhya, yasaswini,
Dharmya dharmanana Devi,
Deva deva mana Priya. 12

Oh Thulasi, Oh Mahalakshmi,
Oh wisdom, Oh ignorance, Oh famous one,
Oh Charity, oh Goddess, Oh she Who makes us give,
The daring of the mind of Lord Vishnu.

Lakshmi, Priya sakhi devi,
Dhyou bhoomir chala achala,
Shodasaithani namani,
Thulasya keerthayan nara. 13

Oh Mahalakshmi, Oh goddess who is a dear friend,
Oh Goddess, she who is in the mind,
Oh earth, oh movable one, Oh immovable one,
If these sixteen names are sung by men

Labhathe sutharaam bhakthim,
Anthe Vishnu padam Labeth,
Thulasi, bhhor maha Lakshmi,
Padmini, sri hari Priya. 14

They get incomparable devotion.
And at the end reach the place of Vishnu,
Oh Thulasi, Oh earth, Oh Maha Lakshmi,
Oh goddess of lotus, oh Darling of Vishnu

Thulasi, Sri Sakhi, Shubhe,
Papa Harini, punyadhe,
Namasthe naradanuthe,
Narayana mana priye. 15

Oh Thulasi, Oh friend of Lakshmi, Oh holy one.
Oh remover of sins, Oh one who blesses with divinity,
Salutations to you who was sung by sage Narada,
Oh darling of the mind of Lord Vishnu.

Ithi Pundareeka krutham Thulasi stotram sampoornam

Thus the Tulasi Stotram composed by Sri Pundarika.
