Totakashtakam (A stotra on Shri Adi Shankaracharya) - Devanagari and IAST Lyrics
Namaste
This is a stotra on Shri Adi Shankaracharya by one of his disciples who is known to be a dull-witted, unintelligent person, but later achieved the zenith of all knowledge and attained the brahmajnana through the grace of guru. He dedicates this stotra to him.
Language and feeling are very deep and heart-touching in this stotra. The small 12-lettered meter is very attractive to the beginner students. Hence I choose this stotra at the fundamental level of my teaching.
May Shri Adi Shankaracharya Swami bless us all.
Yours Samskrtanuragini

विदिता न मया विशदैककला
न च किञ्चन काञ्चनमस्ति गुरो ।
द्रुतमेव विधेहि कृपां सहजां
भव शङ्कर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥८॥
