Kunti Krishna Stuti
Kunthi Sthuthi
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
( At the end of the Maha Bharatha War between Kauravas and Pandavas , When the entire Kaurava army has perished, Aswathama
the son of Guru Drona sent the Brahmastra to kill all the Pandavas. In return Arjuna also sent another Brahmasthra. Lord Krishana
made Arjuna to take The shiro rathna(Gem on the head) of Aswathama and asked Aswathama to aim his asthra at the unborn child
of Abhimanyu. Lord Krishna then entered the womb of the wife of Abhimanyu and saves her child. Thus the clan of Pandavas is
saved. At this juncture Kunthi the mother of the Pandavas addresses this prayer to Lord Krishna. This occurs in the 8th chapter of
the first Skanda of Bhagwatha Purana.
It is interesting to note that Kunthi is the sister of Vasudeva the father of Krishna and was earlier given in adoption to king Kunthi
Bhoja by Surasena, the father of Vasudeva. Thus she was the maternal aunt of Lord Krishna. The text in Sanskrit as well as a
translation in to English of this stotra is given in http://shivu360.blogspot.com/2010/04/kunti-stuti.html )
1.Namasthe purusham thwadhyameeswaram prakruthe param,
Alakshyam sarva bhoothanaam anthar baihiravasthitham.
I salute the Lord Vishnu , the primeval God and the divine Nature,
Who is invisible to all beings , though he is inside and outside all of them.
2.Mayaa ja vanikacchanna majnadhoksham avyayam,
Na lakshyase mooda drusaa nato natyadharo Yadhaa.
He is covered by the curtain of illusion and is invisible and imperishable,
And not felt by the foolish humans and is like an actor dressed for playing the part.
