Narayan,
Yes, you can.
The router that you are SSHing into as to be configured for SSH Server and the router that you are trying to SSH From has to support the SSH Client Feature.
Let me know if it helps.

WORD IP address or hostname of a remote system

If, when pointed to the exact documentation page, on the precise command you need to use to do exactly what you want to do, it doesn't help you..
Then please accept my apologies for not being helpful enough ;-)
Cheers !

Sorry Helios,
It was my mistake that i was trying to initiate a SSH connection from a router not supporting ssh and hence was not able to issue the command.
One thing i found was it is not mandatory to enable ssh on the router from where you are initiating an ssh request, just the IOS should support SSH so that you can issue the command.
I resolve this case with your first post.
regards
Narayan
