I was onced asked to reconstruct and translate a poor transliteration of
a LakshhmI-nR^isiMha-karuNa-rasa-stotram also attributed to ShrIpAda
ShankarAchArya. It is in vasanta-tilakA metre with the fourth pada
of each verse being "lakshmI-nR^isiMha mama dehi karAvalambam"
Do you know of a source for this and other devotional compositions
by Adi Shankara?
Thanks in advance.
