Notes:
sharabhastotram appears
as nR^isimha uvAcha in li~NgapurANam (vedavyAsa)
and texts including AkAshabhairavakalpam,
vIramAheshvarAchArasaMgrahaH etc.
See sharabheshvaraShTottarashatanAmastotram
for an alternative version with Marathi
meaning.

The core stotram is given here with variations
found in the referenced source texts.  The shlokas
have been re-numbered adapting to the core
stotram flow.

The phalashruti amongst these texts differs in
length (and hence in description).

Readers may visit the respective texts for
referring to the required preceding (viniyoga,
dhyanam etc) and concluding (phalashruti
etc.) parts.
