श्री मन्त्रराज पद स्तोत्रम्॥ Śrī Mantrarāja Pada Stotram ||
Śrī Mantrarāja Pada Stotram is one of the powerful mantras. It cures serious diseases and ailments. It also gives knowledge, wealth and all types of auspiciousness. It is said that this hymn should be recited, first with mantra rāja mantra which is given below (commencing with om ugraṁ vīraṁ mahāviṣṇuṁ). There are highlighted words in each of the first ten verses. If we place these words one after another, we will get mantra rāja mantra. There are eleven verses in this hymn and one verse for phalaśruti. There is a YouTube clipping at the end of this article for correct pronunciation, which is posted by Ramya Giri.
It is said that this hymn should be repeated three times a day for best results. It is important that this hymn should be chanted at the time of sunset.

Thank you very much for your contribution on the sadhana on Lord Nrisimha. Wish that later you may write an article on Nrisimha Tapaniya Upanishad , it's mantras and practise.

Since it is a stotram, initiation is not necessary. But you have to be careful with pronunciations.

Are you planning to publish a narasha kavacha, a Gayatri mantra, which is another mantra that can be read throughout the day? Thank you.

Namaste! Guruji, can you post the mantra "Ugram viram..." with vinyoga, nyas and dhyana? And mantras for the treatment of the spine, bones and joints?

I would suggest that you consult with a medical practitioner for the treatment of the spine, bones and joints. Any mantra remedy should only be secondary and not primary. We will publish the mantra japa procedures for Lord Nṛsiṁha in due course of time. You may consult Mantra Mahodadhi for the japa procedure and related information. Initiation from an able guru is a must.
