Sandhya Vandanam - II

Namah savitre jagateka chaksuse,
Jagat prasuti, sthiti nasa hetave,
Trayimayaya trigunatma dharine,
Virinchi narayana sankaratmane

Dhyeyah sada, savitrmandala, madhyavarti,
Narayanah sarasijasana samnivistah
Keyuravan makarakundalavan kiriti Haari,
hiranmayavapu rdhrta sankha chakrah
Sankha chakra gadapane dvarakanilayachyuta
Govinda pundarikaksa raksa mam saranagatam

Akasat patitam toyam yatha gacchati sagaram,
Sarvadeva namaskarah kesavam pratigacchati,
Kesavam pratigacchati om nama iti

  3. Thanks for this post, especially for your explanation of the shloka's meaning with translation of Sanskrit words to English. That will make it easy for those reciting this shloka but don't know enough Sanskrit to recite knowing the meaning of what they chant.

  4. Thank you for splitting each word and giving its meaning. I knew the verse by heart and only learnt the meaning now.
