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. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ===================================================================== Aren't these mantras same as "manbtrasnAna" or prOxaNa mantras? da-dhi-krA-va-NNo a-kA-ri-Sham| ji-ShNo-ra-shva-sya vA-ji-nah| su-ra-bhi-nO mu-khA-ka-rat| pra-Na A-yU-gam-shi tA-ri-shat| A-pO hi-ShtA ma-yO-bhu-vah| tA-na U-rjE da-dhA-ta-na| ma-hE-ra-NA-ya cha-xa-sE| yO-va-sshi-va-ta-mO ra-sah| ta-sya-bhA-ja-ya-Te ha-nah| u-Sha-TI-ri-va mA-ta-rah| ta-smA-a-ra-nga mA-ma-vah| ya-sya-xa-yA-ya ji-nva-ta| A-pO-ja-na ya-thA ja-nah || dAsan K.S. tAtAchAr - -----Original Message----- From: neelakrishna2001 <neelakrishna2001@xxxxxxxxx> To: SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 01:47:06 -0000 Subject: [SriRangaSri] Abaamaarjana Stotram sreeman anbil ji; I am one among them who are waiting eagerly to know about"apaamaarjana sthotram". i could not locate sandyavandanam part -2 series. thanking you pranamams krishnapriya Yahoo!
