Palayachyutha Stotra

(Prayer of protection addressed to

Achyutha)

By

Srimath

Vadhi raja Theertha

(Srimath Vadhi raja Theertha

 was a great saint cum poet of The Madhwa

hierarchy

. He is considered as one of the greatest saint after Madhwa in the

Dwaitha system of

philosophy. In this great prayer he appeals to the God Sri

Krishna of Udupi (In Karnataka) to protect him. The Krishna idol in Udupi is

believed to be the one which was being worshipped by Rukmani in Dwaraka. After

Dwaraka was swallowed by the sea, this

idol is supposed

 to have been brought to

Udupi

.In this prayer Udupi is referred as Raupya Peeta meaning silver place)

Please nurture me undefeated one,

Please nurture me the abode of Lakshmi,

Who playfully lifted the mountain,

Who keeps all the word

within himself,

And who makes his people his own.
