Ashtakam is a term derived from the Sanskrit word aṣṭā meaning "eight." In the context of poetry, it refers to a particular form of poetic composition consisting of eight stanzas or verses. Ashtakam compositions are recited to glorify Hindu gods and goddesses, and the lyrics are often in Sanskrit. Some well-known Ashtakam compositions include Mahalakshmi Ashtakam and Shiva Ashtakam. Astak is also the name of a company that develops and manufactures home and business security solutions.
