Bhaktamer Param Earth-Permarth
Bhakamara Stotra was composed by Manatunga in sixth century CE. Legends associate Manatunga with a ruler named Bhoja. However Manatunga probably lived a few centuries before Raja Bhoja of Dhara. He is identified by some scholars as Kshapanaka, one of the Navaratnas in the court of legendary Vikramaditya.
Importance of Bhaktamar Stotra
In the court of King Harsh, the ruler of Avanti, there were two great scholars, Bana and Mayura . They made even supra human things possible here by their mantric power befitting their scholarship and influenced the king very much. Mayura Pandita worshipped the Sun God with the hymn composed by him known as Surya sataka and by the grace of Sun God got rid of leprosy, which he was suffering from due to the curse of his daughter.
