Description

The Ādityahṛdaya-Stotra is a powerful solar hymn found in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa of the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. The stotra occurs at a critical moment in the Rāmāyaṇa war. Lord Rāma is exhausted and mentally fatigued after a long battle with Rāvaṇa. At this moment, Sage Agastya appears and imparts this hymn to Rāma to help him conquer his enemies. It is specifically from the Yuddha Kāṇḍa, Canto 107. The text usually consists of 31 verses but here the works covers only 25 verses so it seems it is an incomplete work. f.2 and the colophone part has some ink blurr so the sentences and words unreconigable, it seems the manuscript is too old. (see NCC. vol.2 p. 76b)
