Dasavathara stotram(Malayalam)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Paalaazhi maathu than paani thazhukum,
Pannaga SAyana padha navanam manam
Thumburu Narada yathi varya dhayanam-SAnkhu ,
Chakra Gadhaa Padma Dhamam Dharani bruthe
My mind prays to the feet of he who sleeps on the snake ,
Whose hand hugs lady who arose from ocean of milk,
And it meditates on sages THumburu and Narada, Oh Lord,
Who protects the earth and has conch , wheel ,mace and lotus.
AAzhiyil aadhi vedangal naalum,
Hayagreeva thaskaram Paalaayanam,
Vaisaarinam aadhyavathaaram -yudhi ,
Rakshakam vayunam hiranyaasuram,
Karmamaayi koormamay Mandhara giri roham,
Mathaakki amrutheki padmanabhan.
In the olden times the four Vedas ,
Were stolen by Hayagreeva who ran awau,
And you took the first incarnation of fish-and,
Protected them by war with Jiranyasura .
As a dutu he became tortoise and kept,
The Mandara mountain on his back as a churner,
And that Padmanabha gave nectar to devas.
Vanditham varaaha roopavatharam -yogi,
Hiranyaaksha tharanan mama vandhe,
Prahladha dhyanam narahari jananam,
Hiranya kasipuvin naasam Vasaraantham,
Aham yenna bhavam nirubhyam Mahabali,
Patala vasitha karanan Vaamanan.
I salute the incarnation as a boar wjho ,
Killed Hiranyaksha and I salute him,
Due to Prahladhas meditation came the man l;ion,
And in the end of the day Hiranya Kasipu was killed,
Mahabali without any fear was very egoistic ,
And the reason for his living in Patala in Vamana.
Kaartha veerya Veeryam nimeelanam BHargava-
Charitham kelkkukil dhanyoham,
Mousalamaayudham prabalaasura Radham ,
Dwapara varkaraatam Bala Raman,
Hanumth hrudaya vasa kaaranam Kaarana purushan,
Ravana nimadhanam Sri Rama Janmam.
WE would be blessed if we hear the Story of Bharghava ,

Who comletly uprooted the valour of Karthaveeryarjuna,
With a weapon of plough Prabhalasura was killed ,
By the great king called Balarama .
Due to the heartfelt service of Hanuman , The man of the cause,
Rama was born for killing Ravana
Go paripalanam, Kamsaadhi ripu Hatham .
Govinda naamam manasaa smaraami ,
Kali yuga dharmam nindhitham Rakshanan,
Kalkiyai yethidum theerkkum chandrikanganam.
I meditate on the name Govinda .
Who looked after the cows and killed enemies like Kamsa.
The Dharma Kali age is desptcable and to protect ,
He would reach as Kalki and this would end the incarnations
