mūka pañca śati 3 - stuti śatakam

The Stuti Shatakam is the third of five centuries of verses composed by Mooka Shankarendra Saraswati, a physically mute poet who miraculously regained his speech through the divine grace of Goddess Kamakshi at Kanchipuram. This profound collection serves as a literary garland offered to the presiding deity of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham. Chanting these verses is believed to bestow the grace of the Divine Mother, sharpen one's intellect, grant poetic eloquence, and dissolve the miseries of mundane existence. It remains a pinnacle of Sanskrit devotional poetry, celebrating the compassion and radiant beauty of Goddess Kamakshi.
