The effect of chanting the prayer

Yethan namashtakam Durge nana Shakthi yutham param,

Yethan namashtakam stotram nanartha sahitham shubham

These eight names Oh Goddess Durga have several type of powers,

This prayer of eight names leads to different types of auspicious wealth

TRisandhyam ya paden nithyam sa sukhi sarvadhaa jayi,

Thatho vighnaa palaayanthe vainatheya adhyadhoragha .

If this read at dawn noon and dusk he would be happy and be always a winner ,

All the obstacles would be driven out and would become free of diseases .

Ganeswara prasadena maha jnani bhaved druvam,

Puthrarthi labhathe puthram , bharyarthi kusalam sriyam

By the grace of Ganesa he would definitely become greatly wise man,

He who seeks sons will get a son and he who seeks a wife would get an efficient wife.

Maha jada kaveendrascha vidhyaavaamsa bhaved druvam,

Puthra thwam pasya vedhe thadhaa kopam cha na kuru.

The great fool will become a great poet and would definitely become intelligent man,

He would see his sons , learn Vedas and would not get the displeasure of the God.
