##Notes:

Upon being requested by Pārvatī / Gaurī about a Stotram that will yield a quick result of Her being able to achieve being one-half of Śambhu, Nārāyaṇa / Viṣṇu recites the same to Her.

The commentary by Nīl̤akaṇṭha Dīkśita ##nIlakaNTha dIkShita ## mentions that this Stotram is ``said to be from'' the Skanda Purāṇa - Śaṅkara Saṃhitā - Śivarahasya Khaṇḍa; however, the evidence of the same is pending verification. The Nyāsa and Dhyāna pages are partly missing in the given link. The Phalaśruti mentioned above is found in the said commentary.

The Core Stotram is also found in Śivarahasyam Aṁśaḥ 07, Chapter 13, Śloka-s 203-215; where, it is followed by detailed instructions that Nārāyaṇa / Viṣṇu gives to Pārvatī / Gaurī about further worshiping Śiva.
