Agastya’s Instruction on Bhakti and Mantra-Siddhi; Descent to Pātāla and the Hearing of Vaiṣṇavī Kathā
तस्मात्पुण्यतरं चैतत्स्तोत्रं पातकनाशनम् / नाम्नामष्टोत्तरशतस्याहमेव ऋषिः प्रिये
tasmātpuṇyataraṃ caitatstotraṃ pātakanāśanam / nāmnāmaṣṭottaraśatasyāhameva ṛṣiḥ priye
Therefore this hymn is even more meritorious and destroys transgressions. Beloved, for this Aṣṭottara-Śata-Nāma, I myself am the ṛṣi.
