Mother Adi Shakti

You hold divine weapons in your eighteen hands,
A trident, a conch, a discus, a sword, and a shield.
A mace, a noose, a spear, a bow, and arrows,
You bless us with the gestures of fearlessness and divine grace.

Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta,
Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani,
Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri—
You dwell within these nine divine forms.

Kali, Tara, Chhinnamasta, and Shri Vidya,
Bhuvaneshwari, Dhumavati, Matangi, and Bagalamukhi,
Tripura Bhairavi and Kamala shine in your divine company;
All ten Mahavidyas bestow their blessings upon us.

The Navadurga and all sixteen divine Matrikas
Destroy the wicked and protect their devotees.
O Mother, You grant auspicious victory and the power of valor;
You uphold righteousness and destroy unrighteousness.

Bestowing strength, devotion, and liberation,
You free Your devotees from fear.
You teach us to live within the bounds of righteousness;
O Mother, You sustain the rhythmic harmony of creation.

Granting prosperity and spiritual accomplishments,
You fill our lives with happiness and grace.
O Mother Adi Shakti, I lie prostrate at Your feet;
Remove our obstacles and protect us, dear Mother.

Your children are innocent and unwise;
They inevitably make mistakes along the way.
Forgive us all, O Compassionate Mother,
And bless everyone with well-being and prosperity.
