Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

Aadhya Stotram
[Prayer to Primeval Power]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Shaktheyas believe that there is a primeval power which is pervading the universe. They believe that
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva got their power of creation, upkeep and destruction from this power. She
has a famous temple dedicated to her in Dakshineswar, West Bengal. She is the Vaishanvite
Goddess of Thanthric practices. Here is a prayer addressed to that primeval power in Sanskrit. This
prayer is very popular in Bengal and so most of the write up of the stotra in Devanagari script reads
that of Bengali. I have taken the Sanskrit version given at
www.sanskritdocuments.org/all_pdf/AdyA.pdf for my translation. An English translation is already
available at: www.adyapeath.org/AdyaComb.pdf. A story of the origin of her worship is given at:
www.om-guru.com/html/saints/annada.html]
Om Namo Aadhyai
1. Srunu vathsa pravakshyami Aadhyaa stotram Maha phalam,
Ya padeth sathatham bhakthyaa sa eva Vishnu Vallabhaa.
Hear son, I will tell you the prayer to Aadhyaa which gives great results,
Which If read with devotion always, would make one dear to Lord Vishnu.
2. Mruthyu vyadhi bhayam thasya nasthi kinchid Kalou yuge,
Aputhra labhathe puthram, tripaksham sravano yadi.
This prayer removes fear of death and diseases in this Kali age,
And a lady without sons would get sons, if it is read for three fortnights.
3. Dwaou masaou bandhana mukthi vipara vakthrath srutham yadi,
Mrutha vathsaa, jeeva vathsaa shan masam sravanam yadhi.
For two months if this is heard from a Brahmin's face,
One who is in prison would be set free,
For six months if it is heard even dead sons would come alive.
4. Naukayaam sankate yudhe padanath jaya mapnuyath,
Likhithwa sthapayed gehe na agni chora bhayam kwachith.
In a boat over water or in difficulties or in war,
If this is read one would make victory as his own,
If this is written and placed in one's home,
Then that house will not have fear of thief or fire at any time.
5. Rajasthane jayi nithyam prasanna sarva devatha,
Om Hreem Brahmani Brahma loke cha vaikunte sarva mangala.
It brings victory in the palace and keeps all gods pleased,
Om Hreem is auspicious Brahmani in the land of Brahma,
And the Always auspicious one in Vaikunta the land of Vishnu.

The effect of bathing in billions of sacred waters.

Abhirami Ammai Pathikam - 1
[Poetic Prayer of Mother Abhirami]
By Abhirama Bhattar
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[This great prayer has been written by Abhirama Bhattar who lived in Thiru Kadavur. But his major
work is Abhirami Andathi, which also has been translated by me and put in the web site. People
wanting to know more about Abhirama Bhattar are requested to refer to my introduction to the
translation of Abhirami Andathi. Though Abhirama Bhattar has contributed three sets of prayers
called pathigam addressed to the same Goddess, the prayer in this Set-1 is more famous and well
known than the others. I have taken this great prayer from a book called Abhirami Bhattarain
Pathigangal, where the Tamil meaning of these prayers are given by Abhiramadasan Meenakshi
Sundaram Mohan, published by the author. I owe my deep gratitude to this great translation which
helped me to understand the meaning of all the difficult words in this great prayer.]
Kaapu
Thooya thamizh paamalai chootutharkku mummadhan nal,
Vay iyngaran thal vazhuthuvam - neyam nitham,
Ennum pugazh Kadavur yengal Abhiramavalli,
Nannum por pathaithil nanku.
Protection
For wearing a pure Tamil garland of poems,
To the golden feet of Godess Abhirami of the famous Thiru Kadavur
We would salute Ganesha with three powers,
And with a hanging mouth and five hands.
1. Kalayatha kalviyum kurayatha vayathum, Or kapadu varatha natpum,

Knowledge that you do not forget, age that does not diminish,
A friendship that does not diminish, a wealth that does not deteriorate,
A youth that does not diminish, a body that is free from all diseases,
A mind that does not get bored, a wife whose love never diminishes,
A progeny that is regular, a fame that never diminishes,
The promises that are never broken, the charity that never has a road block,
A treasure that is never is lost, a government which is always just,
And a life which never has any sorrow and love towards your very pure divine feet,
And if you also bless me with the company of your great devotees,
Oh sister who sleeps on a leaf floating in the sea, oh life of ancient Kadavur,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
Oh Goddess who holds a parrot, Please grant me all these Abhirami.

By the red lotus and fish like eye, coated with collyrium,
Which are partially covered, by her dense hair and the fish like ear globes,
Would rule sitting below the incomparable umbrella and holding the staff to rule
And rule over the world and become equal to Devendra who rides on Iravatha the elephant,
And would be praised by devas saying that he is the great Devendra,
And would enjoy their life in heaven along with Indrani.

Oh life of ancient Kadavur, who is the ocean of joy in the mind of wise people,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
Oh Goddess who holds a parrot, those blessed ones who get to be seen,
You are the old woman who created the seven seas, eight mountains,
The eight elephants, the big serpent, the great mountain Meru,
The big tortoise, the universe carried by Aadhi Sesha,
The clan of the devas, Brahma who is in the lotus, Vishnu holding the wheel,
As well as Lord Shiva wearing the tiger skin on his hips, systematically,
One after another and so no one knows how ancient you are,
And what is your opinion of the people of the three worlds calling you, a lass.

Oh life of ancient Kadavur which is famous for Yagas conducted according to Vedas,
Oh goddess who is the ocean of joy in the mind of wise people,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
Oh Goddess who holds a parrot, who showers her rain of mercy,
So that the beings of this world does not wither but grow,
Who in the ocean of joy hugs without hurting with her feathers,
Who without fail gives nourishment to crores of beings from ants to the elephant,
And Who carries in her belly al the worlds surrounded by oceans,
How Can I call you a blue one instead of mother of the universe.

Oh life of ancient Kadavur which is surrounded by dark gardens with very tall trees,
Oh goddess who is the ocean of joy in the mind of wise people,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
Who has the greatness to give jobs to all beings from ant to the elephant,
To the unseen insects which is deep in the granite rocks,
to the life within the womb, to all things that move or not move,
To the entire crowd of devas whose eyes do not blink.
To the holy trinity and to all beings on earth,
According to their nature and also so that they do not get bored,
Who would be laughed at because though she has the nine great treasures
She does not seem to bother about the poverty of this humble being,

Oh life of ancient Kadavur in which lasses play in every balcony where flags fly.,
Oh goddess who is the ocean of joy in the mind of wise people,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
In spite of your being the foundation for all the universe,
And showed yourselves in various forms to your devotees,
And in spite of your being a wife looking after the thirty two dharmas,
He without shame and not wearing any cloth over his hips,
Carrying two skulls in his hand enters houses after houses,
Having become depressed and almost mad and is begging everywhere.
Why is it mother that your husband is wandering like this?

Oh life of ancient Kadavur, oh Goddess who is the ocean of joy
In the mind of wise people, oh Goddess who does not move away
From one side of Lord Shiva, when will I be able to drown in the ocean of joy,
After going to the good very wise people who know your form well,
And after staying there and becoming their slaves and after hearing their teachings,
Push away all bad things, drive away the feelings of me and mine,
And then shutting away the gates to the senses and lighting a lamp to brighten the mind,
Oh swan who showers nectar from her eyes, then keeping you in the lotus of my mind,
Without any worries and become completely mesmerized with you.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

Oh life of ancient Kadavur, oh never satiating nectar born out of the sea,
Oh goddess who is the ocean of joy in the mind of wise people,
Oh Goddess who does not move away from one side of Lord Shiva,
Since you are the mother who has given birth to all movable and immovable things of the world,
Are you not my mother, Am I not your son, please remove my doubts,
And feed me the milk that is flowing out of your breasts,
Clean my face with hanging end of your Sari and smile like young moon suitable to me, lisping baby,
And rain nectar of your grace seeing the silly sports of mine,
And then clap and call me near you and say to me that,
Are you not the younger brother of Ganesha and Subrahmanya.
If you do this is there any problem, mother.

Oh life of ancient Kadavur, oh goddess who is the ocean of joy
In the mind of wise people, oh Goddess who does not move away
From one side of Lord Shiva Oh mother Abhirami
I have never worshipped you with flowers by my hand even for an instant,
I have not ever seen your lotus like face by the eyes given by God to me,
I have not followed your devotees to the temple even one time,
I have not thought of you in either during dawn, noon and dusk,
But when the horrible God of death with a very black moustache,
Climbing on his big buffalo bigger than an elephant, my mind will tremble,
At that time please do come, give me the flower of your grace and save me

Oh life of ancient Kadavur, oh goddess who is the ocean of joy
In the mind of wise people, oh Goddess who does not move away
From one side of Lord Shiva Oh mother Abhirami,
Oh Goddess who is the basis of the world would the Lord of death also chase me after,
The chase of sorrow, chase of great diseases, chase of anger,
The chase of pride, the chase of old age, the chase of tiredness,
The chase of great sufferings, chase of enmity, the chase of deceit,
The chase of the three hungers, chase of sin, chase of great desire,
The chase of three malas, chase of fate, chase of shyness,
All of which have made my tongue dry and my two legs weak.

According to some Hindu traditions, Bhuvaneswari, who is known for her beauty, co-operates with

Brahmanda Mohanakhyam Durga Kavacham
[Durga Kavacham to attract everything in the universe]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Every one in the world at some stage wants to influence some one else. Here is a very rare stotra
which would help you to do that.]
Narada Uvacha
Bhagawan Sarva Dharmagna, Sarva Jnana Visarada,
Brahmanda mohanam Nama prakruthe Kavachama Vada. 1
Narada said,
Oh God who knows all Dharmas,
Oh God who is an expert in all knowledge,
Please tell me that Kavacham,
Which will help me to charm the world.
Narayana Uvacha:Srunu Vakshyami, hey Vathsa, Kavacham cha sudhurlabham,
Sri Krishnenaiva Kadhitham Brahmane puraa. 2
Oh dear Son, please hear from me,
The very rare Kavacham,
Which in olden times was taught,
By Lord Brahma to Lord Krishna.
Brahmana kadhitham poorvam Dharmaya Jahnavi thate,
Dharmena datham mahyam cha krupaya Pushkare pura. 3
This was told in the early days by Lord Brahma,
For the Sake of Dharma in the shores of Ganga,
And he gave it to ma along with Dharma in Pushkara.
Tripurarischa yadhruthwa Jaghana tripuram puraa,
Mumocha dhaathaa Yadhruthwa Madhu Kaidabhayo bhayam. 4
This was worn by Lord Shiva while destroying the three cities,
And was given to me while killing Madhu and Kaidabha.
Jaghana rakthabheejam tham yadhruthwa Bhadra kalikaa,
Yadhruthwa hi mahendrascha samprapa kamalalayam. 5
This was worn by Bhadra Kali for killing Raktha Bheeja,
And was worn by Devendra for getting the temple of lotus.
Yadhruthwa cha Mahakala, Chiranjevi cha Dharmika,
Yadhruthwa cha Maha jnani Nandi sananda poorvakam. 6
This was won by Maha Kala who was charitable and ever living,
This was worn by Nandi who is greatly wise with happiness.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

Yadhruthwa cha Maha Yodha Bana Shathru Bhayankara,
Yadhruthwa Shiva thulyascha Durvasa Jnaninaam vara. 7
This was worn by Bana, a valorous hero who is feared by his enemies,
This was worn by Durvasa, who was equal to Lord Shiva and greatest wise man.
Om Durgethi chathurthyantha swahaantho may siro aavathu,
Manthra shadaksharo ayam cha bhakthaanam kalpa padhapa. 8
Let the four letter chant Om Durga ending with Swaha is the head,
And the six lettered chant chanted by devotees is the ultimate root.
Vicharo nasthi, vedeshu grahane asya manor mune,
Manthra Grahana mathrena Vishnu thulyo bhaven nare. 9
Those sages who without any thought are able,
To keep the Vedas in their mind,
As soon as they learn and understand this Manthra,
Would become equal to Vishnu among men.
May Vakthra sadaa pathu Om Durgaya namonthaka,
Om Durge Raksha ithi cha kandam pathu sada mama. 10
Let my face be always protected by the chant Om Durgaya Nama,
Let my neck be protected by the chant Om Durge Raksha.*
* Please save me Durge.
Om Hreem Sreem ithi manthroyam skantham pathu niranthara,
Hreem Sreem Kleem ithi prushtam cha pathu may sarvatha sadaa. 11
Let my shoulders be protected always by the chant Om Hreem Sreem,
Let my behind be protected always and at all times by the chant Hreem Sreem Kleem.
Hreem may Vaksha sthalam pathu, Hastham Srim ithi santhatham,
Iym Sreem Hreem pathu Sarvangam Swapne Jagarane thadha. 12
Let Hreem protect my chest and let Sreem protect my hands always,
Let the chant Iym Sreem Hreem protect all my body,
During dream and waking up states.
Prachyam may prakruthi pathu, pathu vahnow cha chandika,
Dakshine Bhadara Kali cha, Nairythyam cha Maheswari. 13
Let the Nature protect me in the east and Let Chandika protect the south east,
Let the south be protected by Bhadra Kali and let Maheswari protect the south west,
Varunyam pathu Vaarahi, Vayavyam Sarva Mangala,
Uthare Vaishnavi pathu Thada eesanyam Shiva Priya. 14
Let Varahi protect my west, let Sarva Mangala protect my north west,
Let Vaishavi protect my north and north east be protected by darling of Shiva.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

Jala, sthale cha anthareekshe pathu maam Jagadambika,
Ithi they kaditham vathsa kavacham cha sudurlabham. 15
Let the mother of the world protect me in water, land and the sky,
Thus is told the armour which is rarely available my son.
Yasmai kasmai na dhatavyam pravakthavyam na kasyachith,
Gurm abyarcha vidhi vath vastharalankara chandanai. 16
As and when one ends the giving the stotra and does the actions mentioned,
He should request his Guru to decorate the Goddess with cloth and sandal.
Kavachama dharayadyesthu sopi Vishnur na samsaya,
Snane cha sarva theerthaanaam Prathvyasca pradakshine. 17
He who wears this Kavacha is equivalent to Lord Vishnu,
And gets the effect of taking bath on all sacred waters,
As well as doing perambulation of the entire earth.
Yath phalam labhathe loka, thadheh dharanaan mune,
Pancha laksha jape nava sidha methad bhave dhruvam. 18
When people get this effect, the sage who wears this,
And chants five lakh times, would definitely become a Sidha.
Loke cha sidha kavacho nava seedhathi sankate,
Na thasya mruthyur bhavathi jale Vahnou vishe jware. 19
Those people who master this Kavacha would never suffer sorrow,
And death will not occur to them in water, fire, poison or by fever.
Jeevan muktho bhaveth sopi sarva sidhi ravapnuyath,
Yadhi swasidha kavacho Vishnu thulyo Bhaveth dhruva. 20
They would get salvation and would get all occult powers,
And if they master it oneself, they would become like Vishnu definitely.
Ithi Brahma vaivartha purane, prakruthi khande,
Brahmanda Mohanakhyam Durga Kavacham
Thus ends the Armour of Durga to attract the universe,
Occurring in Brahma Vaivartha Purana in the chapter of Prakruthi.

Maha Lakshmi Stotram [2]
[Prayer to Goddess Maha Lakshmi]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Here is a great prayer addressed to Goddess Maha Lakshmi. The original text in Tamil and
Devanagari script is available in the web site srirangaparijatham.com. That web site also has got a
Tamil translation.]
Kanthasthe purushotham, phani pathi sayyastham vahanam,
Vedathma vihageswaro yavanika maya jagan mohini,
Brahmesadhi sura vruja sadhsyadhisthwa dasa dasee gana,
Sri rithhewva nama theebhagawathi brooma kadam thwam vayam 1
With consort as the greatest among Purushas with seat and bed as the Lord of all snakes,
Riding on the king of birds who is the soul of Vedas,
With the bewitcher of all, the great illusion as your screen,
With Brahma, devas and saints as your attendants,
With their wives as your servants and with Sri as your name,
Oh Goddess, How are we supposed to speak to you?
Yasyasthe mahimaanaam athmana yiva thwad vallabhopi Prabhu,
Nalam mathum iyathaya niravadhim nithyanukoolam swatha,
Thaam thwam dasa ithi prapanna ithi cha sthoshasyaham nirbhayo,
Lokaikeswari loka nadha dhayithe danthe dhayam hey vidhan. 2
You are famous as the owner of all souls and your lord is Vishnu,
And there are many more things about you and you are always forever favourable,
And taking this in to account, this devotee surrenders to you and knowing
Your mercy on those who have become slaves to your grace,
Oh Goddess of the entire world, oh owner of the world, I am going to sing your praise.
Ishatth thwath karuna nireekshana sudha sandhu kshnana drakshyathe,
Nashtam praktha dala batha sthribhuvanam samprath ananthodhayam,
Sreyo nahyaravinda lochana mana kantha prasada druthe,
Sasthruthya kshara vaishnavad vasu nrunam sabhavyathe karhichith. 3
Within a second the nectar like side long glances of you always protects,
But they loose their wealth in these three worlds, once it is absent,
And without you, the darling of Vishnu who is subject to the lotus like glances of the Lord,
People will not be blessed with enjoyment of wealth here and salvation in the next.
Santhanantha vibhoothi paramam yad bhoohya roopam hare,
Moorthim brahma thathopi thath priyatharam roopam yadathadbhutham,
Yanyanyani yada sukham viharatho roopani sarvani thani,
Aahoo swarai anuroopa vibhavai gadopagoodani they. 4
Lord Vishnu's limitless peaceful divine grace and form has been told,
As most loveable and creates great awe even in the heart of Lord Brahma,
And thus with pleasure plays and roams among all forms,
And has been told by Vedas to be matching and intimate with your grace.

Aakara thraya sampannam aravinda nivasineem,
Asesha jagadheesi threem vande varada vallabham. 5
I salute the sweet heart of the God who blesses,
Who is fully blessed with the three cultures,
Who lives in the lotus flower,
And who is without doubt the Goddess of the entire world.
Bhagwan narayanaa abhimathanuroopa swaroopa,
Roopa guna vibhavai iswarya seeladhyana adhi dathisaya sam,
Akhye kalyani guna ganam padma vanalayam bhagawathim sriyam,
Devim nithyana payineem nirvadhyam deva deva divya mahisheem,
Aakhila jagan matharam asman matharam asaranya saranyam,
Ananya sarana saranam aham prapadhye. 6
I salute her who has a form that greatly pleases our Lord,
Whose form character, wealth conduct which are wonderful,
Together with her nature that causes good also pleases him,
And who lives as Goddess Lakshmi in the forest of lotus flowers,
Who is goddess with countless and perennial good qualities,
Who is the divine consort of the lord of Lords,
Who is the mother of the entire world, who is my mother,
Who mercifully takes care of those surrendering to her,
And who is the help and refuge to those who do not have any help.
Ullasa pallavitha palitha saptha loki,
Nirvaha kora kitha nema kadaksha leelam,
Sri ranga harmya thala mangala deepa rekham,
Sri Ranga raja mahishim sriyam aasrayam. 7
I surrender to Lakshmi the consort of Ranga Raja,
Who as if in a joyous play looks after the seven worlds,
Who looks after the bud of administration by a side long glance,
Who is the joy giving light in the garden of Sri Ranga,
Who is the queen of the king of Sri Ranga.
Samastha janaim vande chaithanyasthanya dhayineem,
Sreyaseem sri srinivasasya karunamiva roopineem. 8
Salutations to the mother of all, who gives activity and all other blessings,
Who is very famous and the shape of god Srinivasa's mercy.

Sakala Kalaa Valli Maalai
[Garland of Prayers to Goddess of all Arts]
By Swamy Kumaraguruparar
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Here is a great prayer addressed to Saraswathi, goddess of learning. It is composed by the great
saint Kumara Guru Parar of the Tamil Saivite tradition. In his quest to popularize the great
philosophical implications of Tamil Saivism, this saint reached Benares to establish an Ashram there
as well as to look after the great Kedareswarar temple in Benares. He had to talk to Dara, the Moghul
prince. It seems he sung this great prayer addressed to Goddess Saraswathi and went to meet Dara
on a lion. He ultimately got what he wanted and the ashram he established still manages the great
Kedareswarar temple in Benares. His detailed life history can be found at
www.shaivam.org/ad_kumaraguruparar.htm. The Tamil text and explanation is given at
www.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?t=10418.]
Ven thamaraiku andri nin padam thaanga, yen vellai ullam,
Than thamaraikku thkaathu kolo, chakam ezhum alithu,
Undan uranga ozhithaan pithaaga undakum vannam,
Kandaan Chuvai kol karumbhe, sakala kala valliye. 1
Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
And oh Sugarcane to the four faced God when Lord Vishnu who protected the seven worlds,
During the deluge slept and when Lord Shiva was danced wildly,
Can my white heart which is like the cool lotus not support your feet,
Instead of the white lotus on which it usually rests?
Naadum porut chuvai, chor chuvai thoy thara naar kaviyum,
Padum paniyil paninthu arulvay, pangaya aasanathil,
Koodum pasum por kodiye, kana thana kundrum iympaal,
Kadum chumakkum karumbe, sakalakalavalliye. 2
Oh tender golden climber resting on a seat of lotus,
Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts, oh sugarcane who carries her hill like chest,
And forest like hair which is made up in five pleats,
Please shower your grace to help me in singing a song,
In which I seek tasty meaning and tasty words in four types of poems.*
* Aasu Kavi - That which is sung immediately.
Madhura Kavi - Musical poem with sweet meaning.
Chithira Kavi - A poem with arrangement of pretty words as if it is a picture.
Vithara Kavi - Poem of different formulations.
Alikkum chenthamizh thel amudhu aarndhu, un arut kadalil,
Kulikkum padikku, yendru koodum kolo, ulam kondu thelli,
Thelikkum panuval pulavor kavi mazhai chintha kkandu,
Kalikkum kalapa mayile, Sakalakalavalliye. 3
Oh goddess who is an expert in all arts, oh peacock who dances with fully open feathers on seeing,
The great poets spray slowly the rain of poems with their mind,
When I would be able to take bath in the sea of your grace,
Of pure Tamil and drink it after understanding it like nectar.

Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
Oh ocean of mercy who stands on the red tongue of devotees,
And protects the sea of books of Sanskrit and the wealth of the great Tamil,
Please grant me words tinged with taste of words and the knowledge,
Which is got by judging, the greatness of books from different subjects.

Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
Oh Goddess who sits on a lotus as well as the red tongue of Lord Brahma,
Who himself sits on a lotus flower with a long stalk and having a flag of swan,
Why is it that the lotus flower of your golden feet which are,
As pretty in the redness like the red cotton, does not open in my heart.
Pannum bharathamum kalviyum, theenchol panuvalum, yaan,

Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
Who is spread in sky, earth, water, fire, wind, Vedas,
As well as in the eyes and thoughts of your devotees,
Please grant me skills of Tamil poetry, dance, knowledge,
And sweet Tamil poems as and when I wish in an easy manner.
Pattum porulum porulaal porunthum yen paal,
Kootom padi nin kadaikkan nalgay, ulam kondu thondar,

Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
Oh white swan who shows very clearly
The sweet milk nectar like creations in Tamil of your devotees,
Give me your side long glance so the song and its meaning,
As well as the use of this meaning to all becomes a part of me.
Cholvir panamum, avadhanamum kalvi cholla valla,

Oh goddess who is an expert in all the arts,
Oh treasure of the gift of knowledge which is never perishable,
Given to me because it is impossible for Goddess Lakshmi sitting on a lotus to give it,
Make me your own slave by giving me expertise in words,
Multiple knowledge skills and the capacity to transfer my knowledge to others.

And the royal swan and make both of them became ashamed,
Which person is that intelligent so that he can think about you,
And has the real wisdom, which is the soul of the words and their meaning.

In the heavens, is there any other visible God who is like you,
And so please all the kings who rule this earth under a white umbrella,
Bow before me, as soon as they hear my poems.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

Sakradhi Sthuthi
[Prayer by Indra and other Devas]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[This great prayer occurs in the fourth chapter of Devi Mahatmyam. This is done by Indra and other
devas after the Goddess Killed Mahishasura.]
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 good
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.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

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?
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,

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.
11. Ishath sahasam amalam paripoorna chandra,
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 seedhathi dharma varga,
Dhanyastha eva nibrudhathmaja abhyathya dhara,
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.
15. Dharmyani devi, sakalani sadaiva karmaa,
Anyadhutha prathidhinam sukruthi karothi,
Swargam prayathi cha thatho bhavathi prasadath,
Loka thraye aapi phaladha nanu Devi thena.
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 conducts. Because of that he attains heaven and salvation. So
it is definite that you give results in all the three worlds.

Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Kasthuri panga bhaswad gala chalad amala sthoola muktha valeekaa,

May I be blessed with word power that is Sathvika by the consort of Brahma,
Who has moving necklaces in her musk applied shining neck,
Who has the luster of the body which resembles the white luster of moon,
Who wears crescent on her head, who is the female bee enjoying the honey,
From the lotus leaf called literature, whose fame is sung by group of poets,
Who wears white cloths and who plays Veena with her bangles making sound.
Yekanthe yogi vrundai prasamitha karanai kshuth pipasaa vimukthai,
Swanandam dhyana yogadhbhi suguna sadhrusi drusyathe chitha madhye,

Sa nithyam nadha roopaa TRibhuvana janani modham avishkarothu. 2
Let her who exists in the mind of the sages, who have controlled all their senses
And have won over hunger and thirst and are the meditating with joy,
And appears clearly like a thread of a lotus at the end of their Dhyana Yoga,
And her who with the form of swan destroys the fear of birth among devotees,
And her who is of the form of sound and the mother of the three worlds express her joy.
Eekshithri srushti kale tribhuvanamadha ya thath kshanenu pravisya.
Sthemaanam prapayanthi nija guna vibhavai sarvadhaa vyapya viswam,
Samharthree sarva bhasaam vilayana samaye swathmani swaprakasa,
Sa Devi karma bhandham mama bhava karanam nasayithwadhi Shakthi. 3
Let the primeval power who at the time of creation having seen all the three worlds
Spreads her self -divinity in the entire universe and protects them and at the end,
As well as Destroys all other powers and merges them all within herself.
And who appears to the others as a self luminous body,
Destroy my ties with this world, which cause birth and death.
Lakshyaa ya chakra raje nava pura lasithe yoginee vrunda gupthe,
Souvarne saila srunge suraguna rachithe Thathwa sopana yukthe,
Mandrinya mechakangyaa kucha bharana thaya kola mukhya cha saardham,

Found in the top of the golden mountain of Meru the ladder of principles,
Constructed by the devas, which is found to be present,
In the nine puras which were kept hidden by the Yoginis,
Accompanied by the black Manthrinis decorating their chests with ornaments,
Is the queen with a walk of exuberant elephants and let her give us long life.

I meditate on Kamakshi, who is the real form of the real divine Brahman,
Who though having all good qualities does not have any qualities,
Who is without any emotions, who destroys bias and hatred,
Who is one with moon and Sun as her eyes, who is capable of even giving a kingdom,
Who shines in the wheel with forty angles and who is capable of fulfilling all desires.

When the God of love was completely burnt down by the light of the eyes of Shiva,
And when with humility and tears in her eyes Rathi Devi
Begged devas and Lord Shiva for mercy and for his life
Then that Goddess by her simple sight gave again life to the God of love
And let that Lalitha Devi with her divine luster always cure my diseases.

[Ode of Victory to Tripura Sundari]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[The goddess Tripura Sundari in her aspect as Shodasi is represented as a sixteen year old girl and
is believed to embody sixteen types of desire. The Shodasi Tantra, a treatise on the Tantra, describes
Tripura Sundari as the radiant light in the eyes of Shiva. Adi Sankara has written a great ashtakam
extolling her. This is another great prayer addressed to her.]

Vageswari Stavam
By Adi Sankarachaya
[Prayer to Goddess of Speech]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Saraswathi is the Goddess of learning and knowledge. Her name is variously interpreted as that
which flows, that which has lakes and pools and as essential knowledge personified. She arose out of
the mind of Lord Brahma, when he was meditating. He later married her. (Brahmanda Purana). She is
supposed to have the forms of Gayathri, Savithri, Saraswathi and Brahmani. She is the goddess of
Speech and hence called Vaageswari. The reference I have in Malayalam ascribes this prayer to
Adhi Shankara Bhagawat Pada. But this is not listed as one of the works of Adhi Shankara.]
Amala kamaladhi vaasini, manaso,
Vaimaya dhayini, manogne,
Sundara gathri, susheele,
Thava charanamboruhayo namami sadaa. 1
I always worship your lotus feet,
Oh Goddess, who lives in pure white lotus flower,
Oh Goddess, who grants cleanliness of mind,
And Oh Goddess who is pretty and good natured.
Achalathmaja cha durga,
Kamala tripurethi bheditha jagathi,
Yaa saa thwameva vaachaa,
Meeswari, sarvathmana praseede mama. 2
By all known means, be pleased with me,
Oh Goddess, though you are called differently by the world,
As the daughter of mountain, as fearsome Durga, as one who lives on lotus and as the great Tripura,
You are the one and the same - the goddess of speech.
Twacharanamboruhayo,
Pranama heena punardwijathirapi,
Bhooyadanedamukha,
Sthwad bhaktho bhavathi Devi, sarvagna. 3
Hey Goddess, he who does not salute your lotus feet,
Even if he is a Brahmin, would become dumb and deaf,
In the births that he will take later,
And your devotee would become the all knowing one.
Mooladhara mukhorgatha,
Bisa thanthu nibha prabhavathaya,
Visruthalipi pravatha hitha,
Mukha kara charanadhike, Praseede mama. 4
Oh goddess, whose face, hands and legs,
Are the letters of alphabets, which have become enlarged,
Starting from the inside of Mooladhara,
By the power of sound shining like a thread of lotus.

Prayer Hymns - Devi Stotras

[The sound which emanates from Mooladhara is indistinct and micro and is called Para. From there,
when it reaches the belly button, it slightly becomes distinct and is called Pasyanthi. When it further
travels and reaches the heart, it is called Madhyama; and when it reaches the throat, it becomes

Vani Stotram
By Sage Yagna Valkya
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[There was a great sage called Vaishampayana. He had several great disciples and the foremost
among them was Yagna Valkya. Once Vaishampayana committed a great sin and got the
Brahmahathi Dosha (sin committed by killing a Brahmin). Vaishampayana requested all his disciples
to do some religious ceremonies so that he can get rid of the sin. The proud Yagna Valkya told his
guru that he himself can do all that is needed easily. There was no need for other disciples to do
anything. Vaishampayana got very angry at these words and ordered Yagna Valkya to return all the
knowledge including the Vedas that he had taught him. Yagna Valkya vomited all the knowledge that
he had learnt. Vaishampayana became a bird and ate all that was vomited by Yagna Valkya. At this
moment, Yagna Valkya became one without Vedas. He recited the following prayer to Goddess
Saraswathi and then requested Sun God to teach him Vedas and all other knowledge. Sun God said
that he could do it provided Yagna Valkya stood facing his chariot and walked in reverse with the
same speed as his chariot. Yagna Valkya did this. The Veda that he learned from Sun God is known
as Shukla Yajur Veda (White Yajur Veda) and the Veda propagated by Vaishampayana is known as
Krishna Yajur Veda (Black Yajur Veda).]
Brahma swaroopa parama jyothi swaroopaa sanathani,
Sarva vidhyathi devya thasyai vanya namo nama. 1

And who is the goddess controlling them all.

She is the personification of description,
And is the goddess of description,
And without her divine grace,
Even very learned will not be able to do anything.
Kala sankhya swaroopaya thasmai devyair namo nama,
Brahma sidhantha roopaya thasmai deyair namo nama. 4

Salutations and salutations to that Goddess,
Who is personification of the science of Brahman.

Varahi Anugraha Ashtakam
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Varahi is one of the Saptha Mathrukas (Seven Mothers) who aided the Devi in her fight against
Shumbha, Nishumbha and their armies. She is described to have human body with eight arms, head
of a boar and also having three eyes.
In the Sri Vidhya tradition, she is also called the Danda Natha (Lady Commander of the forces of
Mother Goddess, symbolizing the might of Sri Vidya). As Varahi (hog-faced or the great consumer),
she destroys evil forces that obstructs the devotees progress, paralyses the enemies and lead the
devotees ultimately to Sri Vidyas. She is classed as the fifth among the seven mother-like divinities
(Sapta Matrukas) and hence also called Panchami.
With Kurukula, she is accorded the parental status to Sri Chakra (Lalitha Tripura Sundari). While
Kurukula represents the full moon, Varahi (the devoured) represents the new-moon. And while Varahi
represents the illumination (Prakasa) aspects of the mother-goddess, Kurukula is the deliberation
(Vimarsa) aspect.
In another aspect, Varahi is also said to be one of the Yoginis, taking the form of a boar. She is said
to lift up the earth with her tusks to confer benefits on all creatures. She is imagined as an eightarmed and three-eyed lady with a face of a hog, seated under a Palmyra tree, and functioning as a
trusted attendant of the Goddess as her chief counsellor.
In this form, she is known as Chaitanya Bhairavi (the devotee's association of strength). She is being
described as a fierce (Maha Ghora) and as Commander of the forces, she moves about in a chariot
drawn by boars. She is said to reside in the ocean of sugar cane juice (Ikshu), one of the four oceans
that surrounds the mother goddess, holding her court in the island of nine-jewels and facing the
mother-goddess. This prayer seeks her blessings.]
Matha jagatdrachana natake suthra dhara,
Sadroopamakalyithum paramarthatho yam,
Eesopyameeswara padam sampaithi thadruk,
Konyasthavam kimiva thavaka madha dathu. 1
Oh mother even the great God Easwara, who is the director of the drama,
Of creation of earth not being able to understand your real true form,
Became a non-Easwara and how can,
Anyone be capable to write a poem praising you?
Namani kinthu granatha sthava loka thunde,
Nadambaram sprusathi danda dharasya dhanda,
Thallesa langitha bhavambu nidheeya thoyam,
Thannama samsmrutheriyam na puna sthuthisthe. 2
Oh mother whose face is the entire world,
The one who sings your name will never have any punishment,
From the stick of the god of death, for with very little of that song,
He would have crossed the sea of day to day life,
And so this is only remembering of your names and not a song of your praise.

You who are blessed with all good things,
Are the body of the boar of the,
Varaha who playfully lifted the earth,
You have your head decorated by the crescent,
And you are the one who occupied the left side of Lord Shiva.

Aarye chinthayanthi yuvathi thanu magaalaantham,

Oh mother who has the gold like,
Shining body of woman up to neck,
Who has the head of boar with three eyes,
And who holds in her hand the holy wheel,
The feet of those who are meditating on you,
Would be humbly saluted by all devas.

Oh mother, for an ordinary man whose sins,
Have been washed away by serving you,
Even getting salvation, is not that important
For his feet would be worshipped by.

And anything in this world,
Could be got easily by him.

What is not available to him, when he worships you?
What is beyond him, when you enter his mind?
Where is the defeat for him who offers a prayer to you?
