So many of you over the past year or so had asked for the lyrics of Lakshmi Shobane. This song is composed by none other than Sri Vadiraja Swamigalu. My Mom had translated the song to English and sent it to me. She had written these in several pages and posted it to me. I had no time time to type the 112 paragraphs and post it.

However, I regularly visit Hariprasad’s blog. He is also doing amazing work in converting many of our Stotras and providing lyrics in Kannada and English as well. I have blogged about his work several times here in my blog. Just yesterday when I posted the link for Dwadasha Stotra from his blog, I also noticed that he also had converted the lyrics for Lakshmi Shobane into Kannada.
