Lalita Stava Raja Stotram Audio

The Lalita Stava Raja Stotram is NOT to be confused with the Lalita Stava Ratnam; the latter which deals with the Maha Meru, is composed by Sage Durvasa ( incidentally, He has a sannidhi in the Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kancheepuram, which stood out specially because of increased awareness during recent trip to India in July 2016 ).

The Lalita Stava Raja Stotram on the other hand, is in the Brahmanda Maha Puranam. The Devas who were being tortured by the asura Bhandasura, seek the help of Goddess Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari and in the treatise here are extolling the Devi. Indra who is in charge of the Devas, in verse 31 says to Goddess Lalita Tripura Sundari, that “if You are pleased, O Bestower of well-being, we are being oppressed by the Daityas (asuras), give us a good living and we are surrendering to Your Feet (Sharannaagathi)”

To that request, the Devi says, in verse 32 and 32.5, that “ I will finish the entire clan belonging to Bhandasura, and you will again gain control of the three worlds – (Bhur, Bhuva, Suva) and all the Devas will be free of fear." The Goddess proceeds in verse 33 to 36 to say that “Any devotee of Mine that recites this shloka will gain material and spiritual wealth, knowledge and will be disease free. The devotee will be blessed with good children, good friends and a well-disposed spouse.” So the benefits of reciting or listening to this hymn is outlined by the Devi Herself.

Parayanam of Sri Brahmanda Puranam is going on in the house currently and upon reaching this portion which is in the thirteenth chapter of the Lalitopakyana section, there was a deep feeling that this wonderful hymn should reach anyone who is interested in Sri Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari and hence this presentation. Since the copy of the pertinent section could not be nicely scanned, it was decided to copy the lyrics and handwrite it and then scan it for everyone. That is what is included in the link at this post at the bottom. The pleasure one receives when simply copying and writing back such Divine verses is simply out of this world. ( Unfortunately, this is in Sanskrit only. Anyone who can write Tamil/Telugu/Kannada nicely could take on an undertaking to re-write in that specific language. Sri Veda Vyasa Maharishi will be very happy with such an effort. It is fairly short – only four pages long.) This is a relatively short hymn – 7.16 MB.

And now the audio: about 7 minutes 49 seconds long.

One error in the audio: Verse 13 / 2nd  line audio should be "Paada" NOT "Paadaa".
