Dasakam 10. Sakthi pradhanam –(Primacy to Shakthi)

Dasakam 10. Sakthi pradhanam –(Primacy   to Shakthi)

(As soon as the trinity enter her house   they all become females. They were three  Sakthi forms  of the divine  Parasakthi.  The Para sakthi then gave Saraswathi to Brahma, Lakshmi to  Lord Vishnu  and SAthi devi  to Lord Shiva.This again occurs   in chapters Ivand V of Book III  of the Devi Bhagawatham)

1.Thatho vimanaadh aja Vishnu Rudra,

Stavad gopura dwarya aaruhya sadhya,

Sthriya Kruthaa   devi thwechayaiva,

SA vismayaastha nikatam  sameeyu.

1.Oh Goddess   , afterwards  Brahma, Vishnu  ,

And Rudra got down from the air vehicle,

And as soon as  they got down near  your tower gate,

With your  desire became ladies ,

And with great  wonder   came  near you.

2.Krutha pranaama sthava   pada yugma ,

Nakheshu viswam   prathi bimbitham they,

Vilokya saascharyamamogha vaagbhi,

Prudhak prudhak  thustuvarambike  THwaam.

2.They saw that  the entire universe  was getting reflected,

In the nail  of your feet, when they    saluted you,

And were greatly surprised   and Oh mother  they  ,

Individually  prayed to you  using remarkably    great words.

3, Nuthi prasanna   nija sarga sakthim,

Maha  saraswathya abhidhamajaaya,

Rakshartha sakthim  haraye mahaala-,

Became happy  on hearing   their prayers   and you gave,

Your  own creative power  called Saraswathi   to Lord Brahma,

And  your own protective  power called Mahalakshmi   to Lord Vishnu

4. Gaurim  maha kalyaabhidhaam  cha    dathwa a,

Your power of destruction  to Lord Shiva,

And you told    all of them who were standing ,

With  folded hands   and  were chanting Navakshara mAnthra.

5.Brahan hare rudra madheeya   sakthi,

Thrayena dathena  sukham bavantha,

Brahmanda sarga sdhithi samharatheescha,

Obeying my orders , all the three  of you,

Along with three  Sakthis   that you got now,

Start looking after creation, upkeep,

 And destruction  of this universe

6.Manyaa bavaddhi khalu sakthayo may,

They who again became males  got in to the air vehicle,

And immediately    disappeared   from there and,

The ocean of nectar , Manidweepa and air vehicle   disappeared..

Near the lotus flower  , where  they killed the Rakshasas,

Were not  clearly kowing  whether   what had happened,

Was truth  , weakness of their intellect or a dream.

9.Oh Goddess   afterwards  those three   started  living,

In Sathya loka, Vaikunta    and Kailasa and started,

Getting engaged in creation, upkeep   and destruction,

And also praying   you mother  who  had the form of all Sakthis.

Where  tides would   be always   beating, Manidweepa,

Which is your  unmatched   place  of residence,

And you    sitting  on your cushions,My salutations to you.
