This is an Ashtakam (poem having eight stanzas) sung in front of the Lord at Sabarimala by the priest just before the closing of the Srikovil after Athazhapooja (the final pooja of a day) and Sribhootabali.
Devotees believe that Lord Ayyappa is lulled to sleep by the Harivarasanam song.
The author of this poem is Kampakudi Kulathoo Iyer. Harivarasanam is written in highly Sanskritised Malayalam
This was first sung at the Sannidhanam by Swami Vinochamandale. It is believed that daily chanting of this Ashtakam brings four-fold prosperity and fulfilment of all desires.
Though there have been many versions of this song s, the Sabarimala temple plays the rendition by K. J. Yesudas every evening after the final pooja.
