Mangalya Sthavam -Mangalya Stavam
Mangalya sthavam is a great prayer addressed to several avatharas of Lord Vishnu occurring in the forty third chapter of the “Vishnu Dharmotharam Ithihasam.” It is a conversation between Sage Pulasthya and his disciple sage Dhaulabhya. On being asked about the most suitable prayer to drive away bad dreams and for being able to complete all jobs in a proper fashion by Dhaulabhya, Pulasthya tells him that only a prayer to Lord Vishnu would help him achieve that and he also teaches it to him.
This prayer has been very popular with great Vaishnavite Acharyas like Vedantha Desigar and Parasara Bhattar. This is also recited by devotees before starting any important work.
Sage Dhaulabhya asks:
Karyarambeshu sarveshu,duswapneshu cha sathama,
Amangalyeshu drushteshu ya japthavyam thaduchatham.,1
Yenarambascha siddhyanthi duswapnoscha upasanthaye,
Amangalanam drushtanam pariharscha jayathe.,2
