Devi kshama prathana stotram
(Prayer to goddess requesting her pardon)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Goddess Parvathi is an ocean of mercy. This prayer tells what a bad person one is, and requests her pardon. This is a part of Durga Sapthasloki)

Aparadha sahasrani kriyanthe aaharnisam maya,
Daso aayamithi maam mathwa kshamaswa parameshwari. 1

Oh great goddess, I commit thousands of offences routinely,
So please think me as your slave and please pardon me.

Aavajanam na janami, na janami visarjanam,
Poojam chaiva na janami , kshamyatham Parameshwari. 2

I do not how to invoke you, nor do I know how do send you away,
And I also do not know how to worship you, and please pardon me.

Manthraheenam, kriyaheenam, Bhakthiheenam , Sureswari,
Yath poojitham maya devi paripoornam thadasthuthe. 3

I do not know chants or holy action or devotion, Oh God of the devas,
And so whatever worship I do, please make it complete.

Aaparadha satham kruthwa jagadambethi cho ucharath,
Yaam gathim samvapnothe na thaam brahmadaya suraa. 4

If one calls you, “Mother of the universe” and commits hundred mistakes,
Still you look after his salvation, and this cannot be done by Brahma and other devas.

Saparadhosmi saranam prathasthvam jagadambike,
Idhanee manu kampyoham Yadecchasi thada kuru. 5

Oh mother of the universe , having committed several mistakes I seek your refuge,
And please decide on the fate of this shivering one according to your wishes.

Agnana smrutherbranthya yanyoonam adhikam krutham.
Thath sarva kshamyadham devi praseedha parameshwari. 6

Oh great goddess I have done all this due to ignorance and wayward thoughts,
And so excuse them all and be pleased with me.

Kameshwari jaganmatha sachidananda vigrahe,
Grahanarchameemam preethya praseeda parameshwari. 7

Oh Goddess of love, Oh mother of the world, Oh source of eternal happiness,
Please accept my worship and with love become pleased with me.

Guhyadhi guhya gopthri grahana asmad krutham japam,
Sidhir bhavathu mey devi thwat prasadath sureshwari. 8

Oh goddess who is secret of secrets, Please accept the chanting done by me,
And make me powerful, through your grace, Oh Goddess of the devas.

Ragam –Bhoopalam

Marai othum manthiramo , mahimai   migu yanthiramo,

Murayodu thuthikkalumo  , muthirayo , Dhyanamo.

Vara murayai  kadhai koorum  vallamayo , pettilayaal,

Murayidathaan naan ariyen , muzhu thuyaram pokkumathu

Neither   the manthras  told by Vedas nor the  very famous Yanthras,

Nor  praying    in a proper way  , Nor Mudras  nor doing Dhyana ,

Nor the power  to tell you my story   have been received  by me,

But I do I know  how to beseech you  , Which would  solve all  my problems.

Sahana

Kuthram chei makkalundu  , kuzhanthayidam  anbilla,

Pethravalum undo  ulagil, Peni kathidum thjaaye,

Uthrathoru ariyaamai  udal pattu  varumai athaal,

Muthrilum  un adi  maranthen , muzhu manathaal  poruthu arulvai.

Oh Mother  who nurtures us  , there are  children who do mistakes ,

But   is there   a mother   who does not have affection  towards them,

Due to  great ignorance  attaching on me  and due to suffering of body due to poverty,

I completly   forgot    your feet , Please  pardon that  with  a full mind.

Ananda  bhairavi

Yippuviyil   un makkal yeraalam  than yeninum,

Appudalvar   thammil  oruvar   arinthida  mudiyaathu,

Yeppodhum kaapaathiduvaai  , yenathu   anbu thai  neeye,

Thappethum chei maganai , thayanbal  yethiduvi.

Though in this  world your children are   very many,

Those  children  cannot  know  every other  child of yours,

So please  preotect me always  as you are my only dear  mother ,

Please accept this son   who does  mistakes  due to the mother  affection.

Hindolam

Kudumbathil  uzhandru uzhandru  , kul deivam thozha  maranthen,

Thadam piranda  cheeyalkalinaal , thannalathaal  unai maranthen,

Drudam kuraintha   vaathu thanil devi, un karunai allal,

Idam valamaai  yengu alaiven  , yezhil  vinayagan thaaye

Struggling and struggling in the family  , I forgot to salute you   who is goddess of our clan,

By getting engaged  in acts   which are  against norms, I forgot you  due to selfishness,

In this   youth  with no stability whatsoever, except  without   your   help,

Where  will i wander from right to left and left to right , Oh mother  of pretty Ganesa.

Kedara  gaulai

Keezhaana  thozhil cheithum , ketkum kural then yeninum,

Thaazhaathu  vaazhkindraar  tharaniyile   aparnaal,

Un yezhodu yettu inaintha  uyir   yezhuthu manthirathaal,

Paazhatha  nilai meeti  nar payan thaan  alikkatho.

Oh Goddess  Parvathi In this world people    engage  themselves  in base activities,

Without   having troubles  , though the voice they request  is sweeter than honey,

Due to your life giving Manthra   which is a mixture of seven and eight letters,

Would they be able to get rid of bad state and get   good results.

Saaveri

SAambalai udalil poosi , jadai mudi tharitha Sivan,

Pambinai kazhuthil konda pasupathikku visham,mundo,

Samba sivan kai pidithu  , sakala  ulaga prabhuvum aagi,

Om bhagavathi thaaye, ulagam uyya cheibavale.

Does Shiva  the  Pasupathi who applies   ash on his body ,

Who wears  matted hair and wears snakes on his neck have poison?

Did not that  Lord Shiva marry you   and became   the lord of the world,

Om Mother  BHagawathi   who makes the world   great.

Bilahari

Veedum  piranthu uyarnthirukkum   vijnana   yenname,

Naadum yenthanukku  yinpura  yennalum (ini aasayil)

Paadum un siva naamam   bhavani  , yena pakarbavarai  ,

Thedi  thaan  pirathal vendum  , thingal mukha   thaaye  arulvaai.

To  make me  who is great want  salvation and great 

Philosophical thought,   greatly  joyful and happy,

And to those who   tell me chant the name of Shiva , Oh Bhavani,

I only say that I should search and be born , Oh goddess  with moon like face  please tell.

Bhairavi

Poojikkalai   unthanai naan pothikkum marai murayaal,

Yochikka   illayaan  uriyaatha   yendrum cheyyavillai , sollavillai,

Nesikkum seyal   andro  , nenjinil ninaivirukkum,

Yachikkum yenthanukku , annaye nee aadhaaram arulvai.

I did not worship you  using the vedic methods    that are taught,

I did not think  , I did not do  nor tell anything  that is improper,

Though in my mind  is filled with acts  of devotion,

Oh mother please give  me, who is begging you  , great support.

Shanumga priya

Melezhuthu thuyrkalinaal   mediniyil  uzhandridinum,

Seelamigum durgai unnai  chirithenum ninaikkindren,

Kaalam arinthu thoothu varum karunai kadale,

Un balanathu pasi nokki   paranthu varum pangu annai.

Though I am stuggling due  to the sorrows which rise up,

At least to a small extent  I am thinking about  you the Durga of great character,

Oh ocean of mercy which comes    to me , knowing   the proper time,

See the  hunger of your  boy which  comes flying towards you,

Chenjurutti

Yenthanidam ulla kurai yeraalam  thaan yeninum,

Vinthayillai  un karunai , vilanguvathum   thaai anbaai,

Vinthayillai   kutharam ullor   evarum illai ulagil,

Yenthanai poala   athai pokka  unakku nigar yevarum undo,

Amma , Amma, Amma  , amma

The defects  which are  in me are very many , but in spite of that,

Your mercy is not magical and it comes to me as mother’s love,

It is not magical  that  there are no people  like me in this world

Who have not    done  any mistakes,

And to remove is there   any one who is comparable to you,

Oh mother, Oh mother  , Oh mother, Oh mother

Madhyamavathi

Innathu thaan kurai endre , yen nilai arinthu kaappai,

Annayaam parasakthi  yenthanukku   arul koornthu  aatharippai.

You please protect  me after  understanding  my defect,

And Oh Parasakthi who is my mother,

Please   support me    after showering your  blessings  on   me well.
