śrī rāghavendra pratikūlasvānukūlīkaraṇa stotram

Ten verses from the Raghavendra Tantra of Krishnavadhuta, addressed to Raghavendra Swami — the verse-initial syllables spell a salutation to him — and named for exactly what is asked of him: the turning of what stands against one into what is for one. The refrain says it the same way each time: Lord, abundant one, king among teachers, make everything that is set against me favourable, wife and children and all the rest of it. The verses around the refrain praise him as one whose fame is spoken from kingdom to kingdom, who dwells in the mind of whoever meditates on him, and who gives because he is full of compassion. Two more hymns from the same section of the tantra are in this corpus.
