[Advaita-l] Is there a 'Hari-Hara Avatāra' of Viṣṇu?

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

The following stanzas are a selection from Tikkana Somayaji's translation
of Mahabharatam addressed to Hariharanatha. They are almost completely in
Sanskrit and easily understandable for people who know sanskrit.
Therefore I am not attempting a translation. Sanskrit is a lingua franca
for this list .

        गमसुभगपदाब्जा गाढभक्तिप्रकार-

Sarma.
