Navasandhi slokam

[maithribhat]

Hi All,

I am looking for the lyrics of the slokam in navasandhi Kauthuvam audio CD. The beginning lines are as below. I guess this sloka is a new addition to the previous VCD of Prof Sudharani Raghupathy on Navasandhi.

Brahmanaschathurova me Hamsasyom dakshinekara

Thanks

The shlokas that precede the kautvam are taken from Abhinayadarpanam,
they describe how to show Dikpalas in hand gestures.

such as the example that you've given :
brahmaNashcaturO vAmE haMsAsyO dakSiNEkaraH |
to show Brahma : Chatura hasta in the left hand, Hamsasya hasta in the right hand.

I have the lyrics of all shlokas, I can type the rest later
