Dvādaśapūrṇi Candramā Stotra

This text is a short devotional hymn dedicated to the Moon deity (Candra/Soma) with clear Buddhist influence. It begins with the Buddhist invocation “Oṃ namo ratnatrayāya” (“Homage to the Three Jewels”) and then praises the Moon as the lord of stars, the full moon, Soma, and the lord of lunar dates (tithi). The hymn is identified as the Dvādaśanāma Stotra or Śrī Dvādaśapūrṇi Candramā Stotra, indicating a eulogy of the Moon through twelve names or forms. An important feature is the inclusion of the seed-mantra: “Sraṃ Srīṃ Sroṃ Saḥ Somāya Namaḥ.” The presence of these bīja-mantras indicates that the work was intended not only for recitation but also for tantric or ritual practice, such as planetary worship, mantra-japa, graha-śānti, or lunar rites.
