Sri Kamakshya annapurna Girija Dasakam
(The ten verse prayer addressed to Girija, Kamakshi and Annapurna)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Lord Shiva is cursed by the sages of Daruka Vana , that he should beg alms from his own wife. Here is a very pretty prayer in which Lord Shiva tells his consort that he is hungry and requests her
For alms. I could not find who wrote it and wherefrom I have downloaded the great stotra. If some scholar can help , I would be grateful.)
