Devyaa Pratha Smaranam

Devyaa  Pratha  Smaranam

 (The Morning prayer to the Goddess)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(I got this stotra  from a book called  Devi Stotra Rathnakara published by  Gita press. My acknowledgement to them.)

1,Pratha smarami   saradindu karojjwalaabham,

Sadrathna  van makara kundala haara bhooshaam ,

Divyayudhorchitha suneela  sahasra  hasthaam,

Rathnothpalaba charanam   Bhavathim paresaam

1,I meditate in the morning her   who shines like the autumn moon,

Who wears Makara  ear globes, and necklaces  made of pure  gems,

Who has  one thousand  blue hands holding divine   weapons,

Who has   gem clad lotus  like feet   and  who is the consort  of Lord Shiva.

2.Prathar namami   Mahishasure  Chanda  Munda,

Shumbasura pramukha daithya vinasa  dakshaam,

Brahmendra rudra  muni mohana  sheela  leelaam,

Chandim  samastha sura moorthim   aneka  roopaam,

2,I salute in the morning  who  was an expert   who destroyed ,

Mahishasura, Chanda , Munda, Shumbha  and  other great  Rakshasas,

Who as a sport   attracts  Brahma , Indra , Rudra  and other sages,

And who is Chandi whose form is made by the forms  of all devas and Gods,

3.Prathar Bhajami  bhajathaam   abhilaksha   dathrim,

Dhatrim   samastha  Jagathaam  durithapa   hanthrim,

SAmsara  bandhana   vimochana  hethu bhoothaam ,

Maayaam paraam  samadhigamya  parasya  Vishno.

3,I sing  an bout that goddess  who fulfills  the desires of those  who sing about her ,

Who is the mother  who removes  sorrows   and problems  of the entire universe,

Who is the causal factor  who frees  people from the tie  of SAmsara ,

And who is   the divine Maya   of Lord Vishnu.
