anything except lord Narasimha. He describes Narasimha as the
Lord of the world who is worshipped by Indra.
In the next stuti, entitled yogāñjaneyapancaratnam, the
Muni has composed five verses in anustup metre in praise of
Hanuman who has his mind completely fixed in the lotus feet of
Lord Narasimha. This what one finds when one goes to Ghatika-
chala in Tamilnadu where there is a temple dedicated to Narasimha.
Tarakaramanāmastuti is a beautiful devotional lyric where
the Muni has invoked various qualities of Lord Rama. Here Rama
is repeatedly addressed as the son of Dasharatha. The Muni praises
Rama as the One and Absolute Lord, and prays him to remove
the sufferings of the world and make it free from the fear of death
and pain of the cycle of birth and death.
There are fifty four stanzas in kṛṣnākṣaramalikā eulogizing
various attributes of Krishna and singing his names. The first let-
ters of the stanzas starting from number two to fifty follow the
order of Sanskrit alphabet (from a to ha). Therefore it is entitled
as kṛṣnakşaramalikā. The Lord is repeatedly addressed here as
Krishna, 'the attractor of all beings', Janardana, 'the one who
puts an end to the cycle of birth and death', and as Hari, 'the one
who takes away all sufferings and miseries of the world'. This is
expressed beautifully as: कृष्ण जनार्दन कृष्ण जनार्दन कृष्ण जनार्दन कृष्ण हरे. This
line is repeated in each stanza so then the devotee can sing the
names of Krishna again and again, and get united with Krishna's
consciousness.
In rāmagitā, the Muni extols the qualities of Lord Rama in
nine stanzas. A few words of the tārakarāmanamastuti are re-
peated in this composition.
Gitamala, 'a garland of songs', comprises ten songs dedi-
cated to different gods and goddesses. The first song has twenty
eight stanzas in a metre called bhayahārī, and is dedicated to
Agni, the fire god. The muni eulogizes various qualities of Agni
