The Great Goddesses


ॐ खड्गं चक्रगदेषुचापपरिधान् शूलं भुशुण्डीं शिरः
शङ्खं सन्दधतीं करैस्त्रिनयनां सर्वाङ्गभूषावृताम् ।
नीलाश्मद्युतिमास्यपाददशकां सेवे महाकालिकाम् 
यामस्तौत्स्वपिते हरौ कमलजो हन्तुं मधुं कैटभम् ।।

 Translation:
I pray to MahaKaLi who is three eyed, ten faced and holds a scimitar, disk, mace, arrows, bow, lance, club, a skull and a conch shell in her ten hands, whose body is covered with ornaments whose countenance is that of blue diamonds, and to whom Brahma prayed for protection from the demons Madhu and Kaitava, when Vishnu was in Yoga Nidra.



ॐ अक्षस्रक्परशुं गदेषुकुलिशं पद्मं धनुष्कुण्डिकां
दण्डं शक्तिमसिं च चर्म जलजं घण्टां सुराभाजनम् ।
शूलं पाशसुदर्शने च दधतीं हस्तैः प्रसन्नाननां
सेवे सैरिभमर्दिनीमिह महालक्ष्मीं सरोजस्थिताम् ।

Translation:
I pray to MahaLakshmi who killed demon Mahishasura, who is seated on lotus holding in her eighteen hands a rosary, garland, axe, mace, thunder-bolt, a lotus, bow, water-pot, baton, sword, shield, conch-shell, bell, chalice, lance, noose and sudarshan disk and having smiling countenence.



घण्टाशूलहलानि शङ्खमुसले चक्रं धनुः सायकं
हस्ताब्जैर्दधतीं घनान्तविलसच्छीतांशुतुल्यप्रभाम् ।
 गौरीदेहसमुद्भवां त्रिजगतामाधारभूतां महा-
पूर्वामत्रसरस्वतीमनुभजे शुम्भादिदैत्यार्दिनीम् ।।

 Translation:
I pray to immensely beautiful MahaSaraswati whose face is as radiant as the full moon in a cloudless sky, who appeared from the body of Gouri and contains the three worlds, who holds bell, lance, plough, conch shell, club, disk, bow and arrows in her eight hands and destroys Shumba and other demons.
