Sanskrit Stotras/Stuti

[Nyedrag Yeshe]

Any information about the origin of these stotras? And if they can be chanted without oral transmission?! Specially the ones dedicated to HYT Deities.

Buddhist Stotras:
In prosperity or distress, the Nepalese people worship and pray to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for protection, good health, prosperity, and family welfare and also for liberation from cyclic existence. The stotras or hymns throw light on various aspects of Buddhist doctrines.
The stotras are sung by sadhakas during their meditation or act of devotion. The contents of these strotras are of varied nature ranging from simple act of confession, qualities of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, praises of deities of both mundane and supra-mundane , iconographic data of various tantric deities and also explanation of Buddha's teachings themselves in the form of verses.
These stotras can be sung with melodious music and can imprint the devotees significantly even in this modern world through the multimedia device.
In these 109 stotras of input we have included serial number, title, author/source and number of verses.

They're not -- maybe some, but certainly not all.
