Devi Mahatmyam


Sri Devi Mahatmyam
Madhyama Charitham
(Middle part)
Chapter 4: The prayer of Sakradi devathas.

1.    Rishir Uvacha:-
       Sakradhaya suragana nihathe athiveerya,
       Thasmin durathmani surari bale cha devya,
       Thaam thushtuvu pranathi namra siro daramsa,
       Vagbhi praharsha pulgothgama charu deha.

The sage told:-
When the very strong Asura army and very valorous and bad natured Mahishasura were killed by the Goddess, Indra and other gods and sages in his circle, With necks bending to her in salutation, and with handsome body enthused by the great happiness, prayed to the Goddess.

2.    Devya yaya thathamidham jagadathma shakthya,
       Nissesha deva gana shakthi samooha moorthya,
       Thaam ambikam akhila deva maharshi poojyam,
       Bhakthya nathasma vidha dhahthu shubhani saa na.

We venerate with ultimate devotion before that Goddess Ambika, whose body has been made by the strength of the collection of all devas and from whose strength this entire world has been created and who merits to be venerated by all the Gods and sages. Let her do well to all of us.

3.    Yasya prabhavam athulam bhagwan anantho,
       Brahma harascha nahi vakthumalam balam cha,
       Saa chandika akhila jagath paripalanaya,
       Naasaya chaashubha bhayasya mathim karothu.

Let that Chandika whose incomparable strength and power cannot even be described fully by Brahma, the inexhaustible Vishnu and Lord Shiva, help us in proper upkeep of the entire universe and remove the fear that emanates from the unholy events.

4.    Yaa sree swayam sukrtheenaam bhavaneshwa lakshmi,
       Papathmaanam krutha dhiyaam hrudhayeshu budhi,
       Sradhaa sathaam kula jana prabhavasya lajja,
       Thaam thwaam nathaa sma paripalaya devi viswam.

We salute that Goddess who is and will be in the form of wealth in the houses of holy people, who is and will be in the form of misfortune in the home of sinners, who is and will be in the form of wisdom in the heart of learned people, who is and will be in the form of good conduct in the hearts of goo people and who is and will be in the form of shyness in the minds of those people born in good families. Oh Goddess, please save this world.

5.    Kim varnayama thava roopa machinthya methath,
       Kim chathi veeryamasura kshayakari bhoori,
       Kim chahaveshu charithani thavathi yani,
       Sarveshu devyasura deva ganadhikeshu.

How can one describe your present form which cannot be even thought by asuras and devas? How can we describe your great valour, which lead to the destruction of many asuras? How can we describe your skill, which was shown in this war?
