Deva Sthuthi from Bhagavatha
(Prayer of devas
from Bhagawatha)
(from Skanda 3, chapter 5 , slokas 38-50 of Bhagwatham)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(in the third slkandam of Bhagawatham, Vidhara requests
sage Maithreya to explain the secret of
the creation by god. Before creation God
was alone and the one God wanted to become many. Maayaa Sakthi came out of him and
Kla Sakthi(the power of time) was created.From that power , the greatness and
pride came out and then from them Devas
were created and these Devas for whose
sustenance world was needed were not able
to create it.This prayer is by
devas to God to give them that power.)
