Devi Mahatmyam
Chapter
4: The prayer of Sakradi devathas.
21. Kenopama bhavathu thesya parakramasya,
Roopam cha shathru bhaya karyadhi hari kuthra,
Chithe krupaa samara nishtooratha cha dushsta,
Twayeva devi, varade bhuvana trayepi.
Hey
Goddess who showers all the requested blessings on your devotees, to which
thing can we compare thine great valour? To which can we compare your looks
which is pretty but creates fear among your enemies. In all the three worlds
only in you we are able to see mercy in your mind and fierce cruelty in war.
22.
Trilokya methad akilam ripu nasanena,
Tratham twaya samara murdhani the api hatwa,
Neetha divam ripu gana bhaya mapyapastha,
Masmaka munmadha surari bhavam namasthe.
Our
salutations to thee mother who has saved all the three worlds from the
destruction of enemies, who has killed hoards of enemies in the war field and
led to heaven and who has completely cured our fear.
23.
Soolena pahino devi, pahi gadgena chabhike,
Gandaswanena na pahi chapajyaniswanena cha.
Oh
goddess, please save us by your spear, Of mother of all worlds, save us all by
using your sword and also save us bythe ringing of your bells and twang of your
bow.
24.
Prachyam raksha, pradeechyam cha chandike, Raksha dakshine,
Bramanenathma soolasya utharasyam thadeswai.
Oh Goddess, please save the eastern side by the rotation of
your spear. Of goddess Chandika, similarly save the western, southern and
northern sides.
25.
Sowmyani yani roopani trolokye vicharanthi they,
Yani chatyartha ghorani thai rakshas maam sthadha bhuvam.
Let
that aspect of you, which is peaceful (involved in creation and upkeep) and
that aspect, which is fearful, (that involved in destruction) which are
travelling in all the three worlds save us and those of the people in the earth
by the same aspects.
(killed by her they
attain salvation)

Devi Mahatmyam
Chapter
4: The prayer of Sakradi devathas.
16. Durge smrutha harasi bheethimasesha jantho,
Swasthai smruthaa mathi matheeva shubha dhadhasi,
Daridrya dukha bhaya harini ka twadhanya,
Sarvopa kara karanaya sadardra chitha.
You
destroy sorrow of all beings who sorrow, you give great wisdom to those who are
fearless and Oh Goddess who destroys the fear of poverty, who is there in this
world except you who has a heart dripped in mercy.
17.
Eapir hathair Jagathupaithi sukham thadaihe,
Kurvanthu nama narakaya chiraya papam,
Samgrama mruthyu madhigamya divam prayanthu,
Mathwethi noona mahithan vinihamsi devi.
Hey
Goddess you kill your enemies thinking that this world should feel happiness.
These asuras are killed, so that these asuras should not do more sins fore
several ages and so that they will not reach the hell, which is full of
diseases and that they should travel towards heaven being killed in this war by
you.
(This is an answer to the doubt to the sentiments expressed
in the last stanza that, though goddess has a melting heart with mercy, she has
killed several asuras. )
18.
Dushtaiva kim bhavathi prakarothi bhasma,
Sarvasuranareeshu yal prahinoshi sasthram,
Lokaan prayanthu ripavo api hi sasthra puthra,
Itham mathir bhavathi theshwa hithesu swadhi.
Hey goddess do you not turn into ash all asuras just by your
sight? It is definite, that you send your weapons at them only with a view to
purify them by contact with your weapons and with a good intention that even
your enemies should reach heaven.
19.
Gadga prabha nikara vishuranai sthodhagrai,
Soolagra kanthi nivahena druso asuranam,
Yannagatha vilayamamsuma dindhu ganda,
Yogyananam thava vilokayatham thdethath.
The
reason why the eyes of Asuras are staring at the glitter of the collection of
your shining swords and the collective glitter of the ends of your spear is
because they are staring at your holy face adorned with the cool crescent.
20.
Dur vrutha vrutha samanam thava devi seelam,
Roopam thadiva thadha vicinthya mathulya manyai,
Veeryam cha hanthya hrutha deva parakramanam,
Vairishwapi prakatithaiva dhaya twayetham.
Holy
Goddess, thy pristine character brings to an end the bad characteristics of
base people, and similarly your pretty mien can never be imagined by ordinary
minds and also does not have similarity with all other pretty things. Also your
valour kills all asuras and thus you show your mercy even towards thine
enemies.
(killed by her they attain salvation)

Bhibanukari prahruthama
kanthi kantham,
Athyathbutham
prahruthamaatharusha thadhapi,
Vakthram vilokhya sahasa
mahishasurena.
Though your face which is pretty with a captivating a smile
and which is similar to the full moon and which is having the glitter of the
purest gold, it was speedily hit by the very angry Mahishasura. This is indeed
surprising.
12. Dhrushtwa thu devi, kupitham brukutikarala,
Mudrchcha sanka sadhya
schavee yanna sadhya,
Pranaan mumocha mahishas
thadeeva chithram,
Kair jeevithe he
kupithanthaka darsanena.
Hey Goddess, in spite of seeing your very angry face with
sharply bent eye brows and which resembled the reddish full moon just when it
is rising, Mahishasura did not choose to give up his life. This is indeed
surprising because, which being would choose to continue to live after seeing the
very angry God of death.
13. Devi praseedha paramaa bhavathi bhavaya,
Sadhyo vinasayasi
kopavathi kulani,
Vignanametha dhadhunaiva
yadasthametha,
Nnetham bhalam suvipulam
mahishasurasya.
Hey Goddess, be pleased with me. You are the most powerful
goddess Lakshmi. If you are pleased the family is greatly enlarged and if you
are angry, you destroy several generations of families. This is known now,
because you destroyed the great and large army of Mahishasura.
14. Theey Sammatha jana padeshu dhanani theshaam,
Theshaam yasamsi na cha

Yesham sadabhydayadha
bhavathee prasanna.
Those to whom you always give progress and are happy with
them, they are the people recognized by all. They would only get wealth and
fame. For them the Dharma never goes away. They are the people with good sons,
servants and wife.

Hey Goddess, by your blessings the blessed man always and
with feelings of holiness is able to do all his duties which are dictated by
just conduct. Because of that he attains heaven and salvation. So it is
definite that you give results in all the three worlds.

6. Hethu samastha jagatham trigunaapi
doshair,
Na Jnayase hariharadhibhirapyapaara,
Sarvasrayakhilamidam jagadamsa bhootha,
Mavyakyatha hi parama prakruthisthwamadhya.
You are
the cause and root of everything in the world. Though you are having the three
properties of Sathwa(holy), Rajas(vigorous) and Thamas(base ), you are not
affected by any type of passion. You are one who is not even fully known to the
trinity of Vishnu, Brahma and Rudra. You are one on whom all beings depend.
This entire world is a part of you. Since the primeval force, which gave life
to all Gods, you are bereft of any emotion.
7.
Yasya samastha suratha samudheeranena,
Trupthim prayathi sakaleshu makheshu devi,
Swahasi vai pithru ganasya cha trupthihethu,
Rucharyasethwamatha eva janai swatha cha.
Hey
Goddess, You are the “Swaha” by pronouncing which in all fire sacrifices the
gods get satisfied and you are the “Swadha” which is the source of satisfaction
of manes.
(“While offering sacrifice to the Gods fire is the mediator.
He receives the offerings, which are put in to him with the word “Swaha”, and
gives to the Gods. In worship of the manes, water is offered as “Swadha” to the
manes. )
8.
Yaa mukthihethu ravichinthyaw maha vrutha thwa,
Mabhysyase suniyathendriya thathwa sarai,
Moksharthibhir munibhirastha samastha doshair,
Vidhyasi saa bhagawathee parama he devi.
Hey Goddess, You are that knowledge which is the root cause
of salvation, that knowledge which takes one to god by unthinkable great
penance, because you are being searched by those sages who have lost all bad
wishes and conduct, who think that search of God is the essence of their life
and who forever crave for methods of salvation.
9.
Sabhathmika suvi malarghya jusham nidhana,
Mudhgedharamya padha patavatham cha samnaam,
Devi, thwayi bhagawathi bhava bhavanaya,
Vartha cha sarva jagatham paramarthi hanthree.
Oh,
Goddess, your soul is the holy sound, you are the songs of sama Veda which are
made of very holy verses and which are made up of songs of lovely words, you
are the desire, you are the personification of three Vedas, you are the essence
of knowledge of the day to day life, and you are the destroyer of the ills of
all the world.
10.
Medhasi devi, vidhithakhila sastra sara,
Durgasi durga bhava sagara naura sanga,
Sri kaida bhari hrudaika kruthadhivasa,
Gauri Thwameva sasi mouli krutha prathishta.
Hey
Goddess, You are the wisdom which makes one capable of knowing all the
knowledge so far known, You are the incomparable Durga who is a boat which
helps one to cross the ocean of day to day life, You are the Goddess Lakshmi
living in the chest of Lord Vishnu and you are the Goddess Gauri who lives in
Lord Parameshwara who wears the crescent.
