StotraSamhita is a collection of stotras, nāmāvalīs, pūjā-vidhānas and longer texts, carefully typeset and proofread, readable here in several scripts and downloadable as high-quality PDFs for printing and for devices such as the Kindle. Everything is typeset in LaTeX from source files kept on GitHub; you are free to fork these repositories and typeset your own PDFs. Spotted an error? Every page links to its source file, and to a form for reporting the mistake.
Many of the stotras can also be heard, chanted verse by verse with the text on screen, on the Stotra Samhita Vani YouTube channel.

Credits
Special thanks
- Special thanks to H. L. Prasad for all the super TeX macros that underlie each of the PDFs typeset here.
- SanskritDocuments.org and all its tireless volunteers, for the most comprehensive resource of Sanskrit stuff, and the source text for some of the stotras in here. Thanks are also due to other excellent resources such as Prapatti by Shri. Sunder Kidambi and Shri. A. S. Rajagopalan.
- Thanks to Saketh Nath and Arun Ayyar and a number of friends and family for all the proof-reading help (detailed credits are in the Preface of the StotraSangraha book.)
- Special thanks to Ulrich Stiehl for sharing the source files of the Kathaka texts edited by Subramania Sarma.
- Special thanks also to numerous volunteers who populated YajurVeda texts at sa.wikisource.org – these form the basis of most of the veda texts here.
- Diverse books and selfless publishers, who have tried to preserve our rich legacy of stotras, puranas etc.
- Thanks to Veda Geetha Foundation, San Diego and Veda Circle, Los Angeles, we also now have PDFs in multiple scripts (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Sanskrit (Chandas font) and IAST)!
Tools
- Translipi, by Shri. Srikanth Subramanian, first made it possible to display these texts in many Indian scripts; Sahityam, also managed by Shri. Srikanth, is one of the inspirations for this site.
- Practically all the encoding was done with the help of Ajit Krishnan’s Mudgala IME.
- Sanscript converts between scripts, here on the site and in proofreading.
