Sri Venkatesa Stotram

kamala-kucha-chuchuka-kunkumato
niyatarunitatula-nilatano!
kamalayata-lochana!lokapate!
vijayi bhava!venkata sailapate

Lord of Venkatachala!
One whose matchless blue body is ever rendered red
by the saffron on the breasts of Kamala (called Sridevi);
One whose eyes are broad like the petals of the lotus

sachaturmukha-sanmukha-panchamukha-
pramukhakhila-daivata-maulimane!
sarangatavatsala!saranidhe!
paripalaya mam vrsa-sailapate

The crest-jewel of all Gods like Brahma,
Kumarasvami and Maheshwara!
The Compassionate One to those seeking protection!
Protect me, O Lord of Vrsasaila!

ativelataya tava durvisahair-
anuvela-krtair aparadha-sataih,
bharitam tvaritam vrsa-sailapate!
paraya krpaya paripahi hare

Lord of Vrsasaila!
May Thou (O Hari!) with Thy extreme mercy protect me
who has always committed various unendurable sins

kalavenu-ravavasa-gopavadhu-
satakoti-vrtat smarakoti-samat,
prati-vallavikabhimatat sukhadat
vasudeva-sutan na param kalaye

I do not understand any one other than Krishna
who is surrounded by innumerable cowherdesses (gopikas)
who are enchanted by the sweet music of His flute;
who equals the beauty of all the Cupids (Manmathas);
who gives joy and is dear to each gopika

abhirama-gunakara!dasarathe!
jagadeka-dhanurdhara! dhiramate!
raghunayaka! rama! ramesa! vibho!
varado bhava! deva! daya-jaladhe!

Source of enchanting virtues !
Rama! The Matchless Archer of the Universe!
The Steady-minded One! The Best of the race of Raghu! Ramesa!
The All-pervading! The Ocean of Compassion! O Lord ! Grant us boons

avani-tanaya-kamaniya-karam
rajanikara-charu-mukhambu-ruham,
rajanichara-raja-tamo-mihiram
mahaniyam aham raghuramam aye

I seek refuge in Raghurama who does what Sita likes,
who has a beautiful face like the Moon,
who is like the Sun to put an end to darkness (Ravana the King of Demons),
and who is exalted

sumukham suhrdam sulabham sukhadam
svanujam cha sukayamamoghasaram,
apahaya raghudvaham anyam aham
na kathanchana kanachana jatu bhaje

At no time and in no way, do I worship any one other than Rama,
who has elevated the Raghu race, who has a handsome face,
a good heart, is easily attainable, has good brothers,
has a beautiful body and whose arrows are unfailing

vina venkatesam na nanatho na nathah
sada venkatesam smarami smarami
hare! venkatesa! prasida presida
priyam venkatesa! prayaccha prayaccha

There is no saviour other than Venkatesa.
I will always pray to Venkatesa. O Hari Venkatesa!
Be pleased and grant us favours

aham duratas te padambhoja-yugma-
prana-mecchayagatya sevam karomi,
sakrt sevaya nitya-sevaphalam team
prayaccha prayaccha prabho venkatesa

O Lord! Having come from afar,
with a desire to salute Thy lotus-like feet, I serve Thee Venkatesa!
Please give me the opportunity for this occasional worship

ajnanina maya dosan
asesan vihitan hare!
ksamasva tvam ksmasva tvam
sesasailasikhamane

O Hari! The jewel-crest of Sesasaila!
Pardon me for all the sins committed by me, an ignorant being
