By Koushik K

This hymn is called rāma rakshā stotra and is from the scripture ānanda rāmāyana.  It is stated in the fifth sarga of janma khanda of ānanda rāmāyana. It is a conversation between vishnudāsa and his guru rāmadāsa.

This hymn was revealed to goddess gauri by lord Shiva in the presence of skanda. He initiated the hymn to goddess gauri and instructed her to do the protection rituals for skanda so that he can defeat and destroy tāraka.
