मत्स्यस्तोत्रम् (Matsya Stotram)—–
श्रीगणेशाय नमः ॥
नूनं त्वं भगवान्साक्षाद्धरिर्नारायणोऽव्ययः ।
अनुग्रहाय भूतानां धत्से रुपं जलौकसाम् ॥ १ ॥
Noonam thwam Bhagawan sakshath harir narayano avyaya,
Anugrahaya bhoothanam dhathse roopam jalokasam. .
Hey Lord Vishnu who does not have death,
You, who is the real Lord Vishnu,
Even took the form of living being in water,
For showering your blessings on all beings.
नमस्ते पुरुषश्रेष्ठ स्थित्युत्पत्त्यप्ययेश्वर ।
भक्तानां नः प्रपन्नानां मुख्यो ह्यात्मगतिर्विभो ॥ २ ॥
Namasthe purusha sreshta, sthithyuthpathivyayayeswara,
Bhakthanam na prapannanam mukhyo athma gathir vibho. .
Salutations to the greatest among males,
Who is responsible for creation, upkeep and destruction,
And for us devotees who are seeking your protection,
You are the only means leading to their salvation.
सर्वे लीलावतारास्ते भूतानां भूतिहेतवः ।
ज्ञातुमिच्छाम्यदो रूपं यदर्थं भवता धृतम् ॥ ३ ॥
Sarva leelavtharasthe bhoothanam bhoothi hethava,
Gnathumichamyadho roopam yadartham bhavatha drutham. .
Hey god all your incarnations are for the well being of the world,
And I would like to know, what is the necessity of your real form.
न तेऽरविन्दाक्ष पदोपसर्पणं मृषा भवेत्सर्वसुह्रत्प्रियात्मनः ।
यथेतरेषां पृथगात्मनां सतामदीदृशो यद्वपुरद्भुतं हि नः ॥ ४ ॥
Na they aravindaksha, padhopasarpanam,
Mrusha bhaveth sarva suhruth priyathmana,
Yadatharesham pradagathmanam satha,
Madheedruso yadwapraadhbhutham na. 4
Is it not a fact, lotus eyed Lord,
Who is the friend and relation of all,
That total surrender to your feet is never useless,
For you showed your wonderful form,
To the great sages as well as humble devotees like us.
इति श्रीमद्भागवतातर्गतं मत्स्यस्तोत्रं सपूर्णम् ।
