Srikant.

The Lord who reposes in the tranquil yogic posture of Harivaraasanam; the Lord whose beauty enchants the whole universe; the Lord who is the very essence of Lord Vishnu's Grace; the Lord whose holy feets are worshipful; the Lord who destroys the inimical mental trends and forces that affect the devotees ; the Lord who engages in the eternal cosmic dance that creates and dissolves the universe -in that very Lord , who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord who is worshipped by the Sharana Mantra; the Lord who is the source of the power of mind; the Lord who smoothly administers the entire universe; the Lord who playfully engages in the cosmic dance; the Lord who shines with lightreddish hue; the Lord who is the Master of all cosmic forces - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord whose very nature is the Supreme Truth; the Lord who is the Master of all life-forces; the Lord who splendours with the divine halo; the Lord who iis the very source of Pranavam; the Lord who is pleased by devotional hymns - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord whose mount is the horse; the Lord whose countenance is beautiful; the Lord who holds the mace called Varagada; the Lord who is extolled by the Devas;the Lord who bestows Divine Grace as the Supreme Guru; the Lord who is pleased by the devotional hymns - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishunu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord who is worshipped by the three worlds; the Lord who is the Supreme Divinity and the source of all Devas; the Lord who has three eyes; the Lord who shines with divine splendour; the Lord who is worshipped during the three auspicious times of the day; the Lord whose remembrance fulfils the desires - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord who annihilates the fears and pains of worldly life; the Lord who brings prosperity and auspiciousness;; the Lord who is enchanting to the whole universe ; the Lord who is splendidly decorated with divine ornaments; the Lord who has a white divine elephant as a mount - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord who wears a graceful and soft smile; the Lord with a beautiful countenance; the Lord whose graceful body is beautifully decked with the sandal paste;; the Lord who rides on a tiger and also on His horse mount - in that very Lord, who is the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

The Lord who is dear to all devotees; the Lord who fulfils the desires;; the Lord who is extolled by the Vedas; the Lord who bestows sustenance and strength to the ascetics; the Lord who is the delightful esssence of the Vedas;; the Lord who enjoys the recital of divine hymns and music - in that very Lord, the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, I take my refuge.

(Just I am sending this as a first draft. Some doubts, etc., regarding such references as ' Haridadheeshwaram', etc., have to be cleared. I shall consult a Sanskrit scholar and if necessary due modifications can be made. 'Hariharaathmajam' is referred here as 'the spiritual splendour of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva'. It can be made instead in its direct meaning 'Son of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva', if necessary. )

---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Note :- Harivarasanam is recited just prior to closing of the temple doors at night. Harivarasanam is the creation of Kumbakudi Kulathur Iyer. In 1955, Swami Vimochananad recited this Ashtakam for the first time at Sabarimala.

As the final verses are being sung, all the assistant Santhis leave the Sanctum Sanctorum one by one. As the song ends, only the Mel Santhi is inside the Sreekoil. He extinguishes the lamps one by one and closes the doors for the night after the last lamp is extinguished.
