Shriya Shatkam by Animesh at Stutimandal

Sample: I am not a doer of virtuous sacrifice; I am not a possessor of the lamp of knowledge; I am not an absolver of worldly-sorrows; I am not a universal protector; I am not a damsel; I am not a blossom-bunch in a temple; even then, O Rukmiṇī, O Śriyā, O Ramā, O Sudhā! Protect me.[1]

Ganga Stuti at Stutimandal

Sample: [Sage Jahnu speaks] O Mother! You are the foremost, You are Śakti (power), You are incomparable, You are the support of everyone, You are pure, You give happiness and liberation to the worlds, and Your lotus feet is revered by the whole universe. O Śivā, the one, Who is beyond everything, and Who is respected by the head of Śiva! You are not even known by the Veda, the destiny, the enemy of Smara (Śiva), and Hari; so what can I say about You?[1]

giidh_krita_raam

Jatayu Krt Rama Stuti at Stutimandal

Sample: Be victorious, Rāma, Whose form is without a simile, Who is without sensory qualities, Who pervades qualities, Who inspires sensory perception, Who is [always] right, Who destroys the mighty arms of Rāvaṇa (ten-headed one), Who possesses formidable arrows, and Who adorns the earth! I regularly bow to Rāma, Who has a cloud-complexioned body, Who has lotus-like face, Who has eyes as if they are lotus-repository, Who is merciful, Who has strong hands, and Who destroys the fear of metempsychosis.[1]
