SrI:
Dear VishNu BhakthAs :
MangaLya Sthavam is part of VishNu DharmOtthara IthihAsa BhAgam .
It is found there in the 43rd Chapter.It has been recited
and quoted by AchArya SaarvabhoumAs like ParAsara Bhattar ,
Swamy Desikan and others .It is customary to recite this slOkam
for kaarya Siddhi and removal of all amangalams (Inauspiciousness)
including bad dreams ( dhussvapnams)and other anishtams .
This is a prayer to Lord VishNu for ever increasing MangaLams .
Sage DhAlabhya asks two questions at the beginning and
Sage Pulasthya provides the answers to these two questions
thru 48 slOkams to follow .The answers of Sage Pulasthyar
end with the prayerful refrain: (MamAsthu MangaLya vivrutthayE
Hari:) . There is thus a total of 50 slOkams in this sthavam .
The recitation of this precious sthOthram reminds one of the Para Tattvam
of Lord Sriman NaarAyaNan .It acknowledges that This Supreme
Lord (Hari NaarAyaNan) is responsible for the Creation-Sustenance
and Destruction of the Universes and celebrates the many avathArams of
this Hari ( VarAha , Narasimha , Vaamana , HayagrIva , Raama , KrishNa
avathArams)to bless the chEthanams for Saadhu SamrakshaNam and
dushta nigraham .
For young women , recitation of this sthOthram is rcognized
to result in marriage to a good husband (Soumangalyathvam),
and all anishta nivrutthi for the married ones( restoration of husband's
health if he is ill: SoumAngalyathvam ) .
More than all these abheeshta siddhi , there are deeper
structures in meaning in this MangaLa SthOthram .
Sri VisishtAdhvaitha PrachariNi SabhA reelased few
years back a small pamphlet on this SthOthram with
Tamil meanings by Srirangam M.S.RajagOpAlAcchAr
Swamy . It may be still available there , if it is not
out of print now. adiyEn will expand on this booklet .
adiyEn is in the middle of a major AchArya Kaimkaryam
and about to start a Bhagavath Kaimkaryam . adiyEn would
like to reflect on the individual slOkams of MaangaLya Sthavam
and Abheethi Sthavam to confer MangaLams on the two kaimkaryams
and to chase away bheethi about vignams to them .
adiyEn will start with MaangaLya Sthavam First .
There are 50 slOkams to cover in this SrI Sookthi .
