Dear Sri Tatachar Swamin and other Bhagavatas:
The correct pronunciation is "apaa maarjana stOtram".
The word "apaa" with an elongated "a" at the end means "removal",liquidation"
etc. while the word "aapa:"
(aka "aapO")means "water".
Both are purification mantras but "aapOhishTaa" is used in "PrOkshaNam" and is
also known as "maarjanam".
This StOtram, however, has a greater connotation than the one employed for
"PrOkshaNam" in that this invokes the Lord
in his various forms requesting removal of all afflictions
both physical and mental.

Aren't these mantras same as "manbtrasnAna" or prOxaNa mantras?
