O’ Mother…
The giver of paramānandā
Save me from avidyā
Feed me the daivīkāmrtā
O’ Mother
You’re the sea of compassion
Grace me with dispassion
Free me from the bounds of passion
O’ Mother
The remover of diseases,
Sorrows and obstacles
I seek your refuge in this never-ending cycle
The vision is clear but the path is not
When the path is clear the vision is not
Forever we walk forever we balk
So never-ending, this journey of seeking
Dēvi! Surēśvari! Bhagavati! Gaṅgē tribhuvanatāriṇi taraḻataraṅgē
śaṅkaramauḻivihāriṇi vimalē mama matirāstāṃ tava padakamalē
Bhāgīrathisukhadāyini mātastava jalamahimā nigamē khyātaḥ
nāhaṃ jānē tava mahimānaṃ pāhi kṛpāmayi māmajñānam
The one who bore the great bhishma
The source of dharma and resolute mind
Bless me with these gunas
Of satyam, brahmacaryam
To walk this path of fire
To purify my mind
Though you sprout from the head of śiva
Never too proud to cleanse our pādā
Bless me within this guṇa
Of humility and
Compassion to all
To purify my mind
The never dying flow
Of the river you bestow
Quenching the thirst
Of the body and the mind
Haripadapādyataraṅgiṇi gaṅgē himavidhumuktādhavaḻataraṅgē
dūrīkuru mama duṣkṛtibhāraṃ kuru kṛpayā bhavasāgarapāram
Śravaṇam mananam
Nididhyāsanam
Sākṣātkāram
Blesses by your karam
Tava jalamamalaṃ yēna nipītaṃ paramapadaṃ khalu tēna gṛhītam
mātargaṅgē tvayi yō bhaktaḥ kila taṃ draṣṭuṃ na yamaḥ śaktaḥ
Patitōddhāriṇi jāhnavi gaṅgē khaṇḍita girivaramaṇḍita bhaṅgē
bhīṣmajanani hē munivarakanyē patitanivāriṇi tribhuvana dhanyē
The saffron i wear
The malas i wear
I won't need them
If i sleep at your banks
Rōgaṃ śōkaṃ tāpaṃ pāpaṃ hara mē bhagavati kumatikalāpam
tribhuvanasārē vasudhāhārē tvamasi gatirmama khalu saṃsārē
Alakānandē paramānandē kuru karuṇāmayi kātaravandyē
tava taṭanikaṭē yasya nivāsaḥ khalu vaikuṇṭhē tasya nivāsaḥ
Dēvi! Surēśvari! Bhagavati! Gaṅgē tribhuvanatāriṇi taraḻataraṅgē
śaṅkaramauḻivihāriṇi vimalē mama matirāstāṃ tava padakamalē
Bhāgīrathisukhadāyini mātastava jalamahimā nigamē khyātaḥ
nāhaṃ jānē tava mahimānaṃ pāhi kṛpāmayi māmajñānam
Haripadapādyataraṅgiṇi gaṅgē himavidhumuktādhavaḻataraṅgē
dūrīkuru mama duṣkṛtibhāraṃ kuru kṛpayā bhavasāgarapāram
