letters of these eight verses read, “Om, Hreem, Dhum, Durgayair nama.” Which is powerful chant aimed at
pleasing Goddess Durga.)

my teachers.

Whose root chant is “Dhum”, who is the fire that burns

love is her husband.

If one prays
Goddess Bhavani with this poem,
Which contains the eight
letters of chant letters,
They would get
freedom from ties of Samsara,
And I am completely
offering all of it to Bhavani,
Except for the minor mistakes committed to Sastras.
10.Durgshtakam dukha haram
sadaa ye,
Padanthi , srunvanthi , namnthi, theshaam,
AApad vinasam , purusharth sidhim,
Kurushva
Matha , krupayaa namasthe.
Make him who reads, makes others hear and
worships ,
With this octet of Durga which is the destroyer of sorrow,
Get his dangers destroyed and get
all Purusharthas*
Please oh mother ,
My salutations to you.
*Dharma,
Artha ,., Kama and Moksha.
