1.Yudhajitham sathru jitham  cha hathwaa,

Rananganasthaa nuthibhi prasanna,

Subahu  mukhya ananugrahya bhakthaan,

Sarveshu    pasyathsu thirotha dadhaa.

1,Being in the battle field and  killing  Yudhajit   and other   enemies,.

Getting pleased   with prayers  in the   battle field,

And after   blessing   Subahu     and  other  devotees,

You disappeared   from there  while  every one was seeing.

2.Prushto  nrupaan   praha   sudarsanasthaan,

Drushtaa   bhavadbi  khalu   sarva   sakthaa,

Yaa  nirgunaa   yogibhir apya     drusyaa,

Drusyaa  cha  bhakthai sagunaa  vineethai.

2.When the kings asked  Sudarasana   he told them,

“The goodess you saw, is the power of all,

When she  does not have  any qualities . even,
Yogis cannot see   her but when  she  has qualities,

All devotees   with humility  can see   her.

3.Yaa  rajasidham  srujatheeva   sakthir,

Yaa sathvikee  palayathiva    viswam,

Yaa thamasi   samharatheeva   sarvam,

Sad  vasthu sauvayadasath   samastham.

3.That regal power  which appears  to us as  creator,

That saathvic power  which appears    to rule the world,

And that base power which appears   to destroy everything,

That thing  is the Goddess and all  nonexisting  ,

Things   are that which is   different    from her.

4.Bhatharthi hanthri karunaa mayee  saa,

Bhaktha duhaam  bheethikari  peakaamam,

Vasan  bharadwaja thapovananthe,

Chiraaya  maathraa  saha  thaam bhajeham,

4.The Goddess  who is  pervaded with mercy   removes,

The problems of her devotees, gives great    fear,

To those   who trouble her devotees and I have been ,

Praying to her from the   time I came to Bharadwaja  Asram.

5Thaameva bhakthyaa   bhajatheha   bukthi-,

Mukthi   pradamasthu  shubham  sadaa   va,

Sruthvedamaa namra mukhaa  sthadhe  thi,

Sammanthrya   bhoopaascha  thatho nivruthaa.

5.She  is the  one who  grants   you good life here ,

And then salvation and so pray to her   from now on,

You would always get good. Hearing this the kings,

Bowed their head and told him, “we will do.”

6.Sudarsano   mathru vadhu samethaa,

Subahumaprachaya radhadhirooda,

Pureem ayodhyaam   pravisam pureva,

Sita pathi sthoshayathi sma   sarvaan.

‘

6.Saudarasana along with his mother   and bride ,

Took leave of Subahu,   got up   his chariot,

Reached city of Ayodhya and like  the lord of Sita,

Immersed    every one there  in  happiness.

7.Leelaavathim   prapya  vimstharam cha,

Nathvaa   vishannaam   hatha puthrathathaam,

Sadukthibhi   karma gathi prabodhya,

Sa santhvayamasa mahesi bhaktha.

7.Oh great goddess , he who was  your devotee  sought,

Leelavathi whose   father   and son were  killed and,

Who was sorrowing and   did not have any support ,

Saluted her, consoled her by telling ,

The     way   of  karma    in this    world.

8. Janeshu pasyathsu  sudarasnothra,

Thwaam   poojayithwaa gurnaa abhishiktha ,

Rajye  thwadheeyam   gruhamasu kruthwaa,

Poojaa vidhanaadhi cha   samvrudatha.

8.Then Sudarsan worshipped   the goddess ,

When all people were seeing and was anointed,

By The Guru   and with speed  constructed  your temple,

And systematized   your procedure  of worship.

9.THasmin nrupe   thwath sadanaani   kruthwaa,

Janaa  prathi gramamapoojayan sthwaam,

Kasyaam  Subahuscha thadhaa akarith they,

Sarvathra  pethu karuna kadaksha.

9.Under his rule people constructed   temples,

For you and worshipped    you and Subahu,

Did the same  in city of Benares and everywhere,

Your  sight  drenched in mercy   was flowing.

10.Na karmanaa na prajayaa   dhanena,

Na yoga sankhyaadhivichinthayaa  cha,

Na cha  vruthenaapi   sukhanubhoothir,

Bhaktthyaiva marthya  sukhamethi maatha,

10.Oh mother  , neither  by doing rituals,

Nor by  children  m nor by wealth, nor by,

Practicing yoga as    well as Thanthra,

We would  get pleasure an people ,

Would get pleasure  only due to devotion.

11.Naaham subahuscha   Sudarsanascha,

Na may Bharadwaja muni saranya,

Guru suuhrud  bandhuropi  thwamaiva,

Maheswari    thwao   sathatham  namami.

11.I am not Subahu nor am I sudarasana nor ,

Sage Bharadwaja and Oh greatest  Goddess,

Only you have been my Guru and you are,

My only relatives and friend and ,

I always   am saluting    you.
