Ashtakam sangrah

asthakam происходит от санскритского слова astak и ashtakam sangrah

Asthakam is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Astak', meaning "Eight". In the context of poetic compositions. 'Astakam' refers to a particular form of poetry. It is a form of Archana worship usually offered to the deity with a recital of Ashtakam.

A stotra can be a prayer, a description, or a conversation, but always with a poetic structure. It may be a simple poem expressing praise and personal devotion to a deity for example, or poems with embedded spiritual and philosophical doctrines.

(Sanskrit: अष्टकम्), also written as astakam, is derived from the Sanskrit word ashta, meaning "eight". It refers to a form of poetry, written in eight stanzas. Originally these eight stanza poems were composed in glorification of the Supreme Lord of the universe, Sri Krishna & His enchanting activities. In many places in India, these ashtrays are recited daily. These ashtrays are very purifying & surely will lead to eternity, knowledge, and bliss.

The conventions associated with the Astakam have evolved over its literary history of more than 2500 years. One of the most well-known and adored Astakam creator is the great Shri Adi Sankaracharya, who created an Astakam cycle with a group of Astakams, arranged to address a particular deity, and designed to be read both as a collection of fully realized individual poems and as a single poetic work comprising all the individual Astakams.
