That is correct.

Please refer to
ftp://jaguar.cs.utah.edu/private/sanskrit/sanskrit.html
This site contains all the slokas mentioned in the above chandra
site and much much more. This should contain most of the sanskrit shlokas
available on the net.

there are only six stanzas because it is not an ashhTakam
but a shhaTakam.h
Thus it is nirvanashhaTakam and not nirvanashhTakam. Please
correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.
