About This Stotram
Overview
The Lakshmi Narasimha Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotram is a Sanskrit hymn that enumerates 108 names of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, the combined form of Vishnu's man-lion avatar Narasimha and his consort Goddess Lakshmi. Unlike a namavali (which lists names as salutations), this text is structured as a stotram — a hymn in verse — that embeds the names within a devotional poetic framework. It belongs to the Vaishnava tradition of Narasimha worship that is especially prominent in South India.
What are the benefits of chanting Lakshmi Narasimha Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotram?
- Material prosperity and wealth through Lakshmi's aspect
- Courage, strength, and protection through Narasimha's aspect
- Removal of fear and obstacles
- Spiritual progress and connection with the deity
When is the best time to recite this?
The stotram is recited in the morning and evening as part of regular worship. Narasimha Jayanti and Diwali are the primary festival occasions for this recitation.
What is the historical and traditional background?
The Lakshmi Narasimha form of worship combines the protective power of Narasimha — Vishnu's fierce fourth avatar who appeared from a pillar to save the devotee Prahlada — with the prosperity-granting qualities of Lakshmi. This form is particularly venerated in South Indian temple traditions, with major temples at Ahobilam in Andhra Pradesh. Ashtottara texts for this deity developed within the Vaishnava sampradaya tradition over the medieval period; the authorship of this specific stotram is not attributed to a historical figure and it is considered a traditional compilation.
