Vitastāstotra

Contents

Language(s): sa

Title: Vitastāstotra

written in the Śārada character.

The Ms. is not at all correct.

Foll.426-466 of the volume are by the same hand.

A Stotra of the Vitastā river, form the Ādi-Purāṇa.

This is perhaps the same as one of the works from Kaṣmir mentioned by Garbe, Tubingen Catal., p.78, and is the same work as that in the Jammu MS. above cited (Stein, Kaśmīr catal., p. 224).

The Jammu MS. no. 3901 contains an Ādi-Pūrāṇa ending in Adhyāya LII, Kaṃsavadha, continued in 3900. It is in the form of a dialogue between Śaunaka and Nārada.

Incipit: namo vitastābhagavatyai | oṃ | akṣasūtrāmbujakarāmādarśakamalānvitām | mīnapadmāsanāṃ devīṃ vitastāṃ smaraṇāśraye || saṃsārasāgarasamuddharaṇaikasārāṃ dharmadhvajāṃ śubhaphalāṃ vratasiddhihetum | f. 455v
Explicit: ye tvāṃ prabhātasamaye satataṃ smaranti bhāvaprahṛṣṭamanaso bhayamokṣalakṣmīṃ || teṣāṃ sadā bhavati nirmaladehakāntistāṃ naumi pāpaśamanīṃ varadāṃ vitastām ||8|| ityādipurāṇe vitastāstavassampūrṇaḥ | f. 456r
