ऋषिरुवाच

The sage speaks; he continues the account of what happened after the Goddess defeated the asura king.

Roman reading

rishiruvaachaṛṣiruvāca

Explanation

This is an explicitly counted speaker formula, not a full metrical verse. The voice returns to Sage Medhas, addressing King Suratha.

शक्रादयः सुरगणा निहतेऽतिवीर्ये तस्मिन्दुरात्मनि सुरारिबले च देव्या । तां तुष्टुवुः प्रणतिनम्रशिरोधरांसा वाग्भिः प्रहर्षपुलकोद्गमचारुदेहाः

When the mighty enemy of the gods and his forces had been slain by the Goddess, Indra and the divine hosts praised her. They bowed their heads, and delight raised goosebumps upon their bodies.

Explanation

The hymn begins not with another battle but with a collective response to deliverance. Bowing and trembling with joy communicate the gods’ gratitude.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह अध्याय युद्ध के अगले दृश्य से नहीं, मुक्ति पाने वाले देवताओं की कृतज्ञता से आरम्भ होता है। झुका हुआ सिर और आनन्द का रोमांच स्तुति की भावना दिखाते हैं।

देव्या यया ततमिदं जगदात्मशक्त्या निःशेषदेवगणशक्तिसमूहमूर्त्या । तामम्बिकामखिलदेवमहर्षिपूज्यां भक्त्या नताः स्म विदधातु शुभानि सा नः

We bow in devotion to Ambikā, whose own power pervades this world and whose form gathers the powers of all the divine hosts; may she, worshipped by gods and great seers alike, bring us what is auspicious.

Roman reading

Explanation

The image of many divine powers appearing as one Goddess links the hymn to her manifestation in Chapter 2. This is a theological claim of the hymn, not a scientific account of energy.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

अनेक देवशक्तियों के एक देवीस्वरूप में प्रकट होने की बात दूसरे अध्याय के वर्णन से जुड़ती है। यह स्तुति का धार्मिक-दार्शनिक कथन है, भौतिक ऊर्जा का वैज्ञानिक विवरण नहीं।

यस्याः प्रभावमतुलं भगवाननन्तो ब्रह्मा हरश्च न हि वक्तुमलं बलं च । सा चण्डिकाखिलजगत्परिपालनाय नाशाय चाशुभभयस्य मतिं करोतु

Even Ananta, Brahma and Hara cannot fully describe her matchless power. May Chandika turn her attention to preserving the entire world and dispelling evil and fear.Even Ananta, Brahmā and Hara cannot fully describe her matchless power. May Caṇḍikā turn her attention to preserving the entire world and dispelling evil and fear.

Explanation

The praise reaches beyond a contest of divine strength: even celebrated gods are presented as unable to measure the Goddess. Protection, not power for its own sake, is the prayer.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

स्तुति देवी को केवल अन्य शक्तियों से अधिक बलवान नहीं बताती, बल्कि उनकी महिमा को अवर्णनीय कहती है। प्रार्थना का लक्ष्य शक्ति का प्रदर्शन नहीं, जगत की रक्षा है।

या श्रीः स्वयं सुकृतिनां भवनेष्वलक्ष्मीः पापात्मनां कृतधियां हृदयेषु बुद्धिः । श्रद्धा सतां कुलजनप्रभवस्य लज्जा तां त्वां नताः स्म परिपालय देवि विश्वम्

You are prosperity in the homes of the virtuous, misfortune among the wicked, discerning intelligence in thoughtful hearts, faith among the good, and modesty arising in noble families. We bow to you, O Goddess: protect the world.

Roman reading

Explanation

The verse names the Goddess through contrasting conditions and inward qualities. “Alakshmi” and “lajjā” carry historical religious meanings; neither term should be reduced to a judgment on a person's material income or modern social position.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

श्लोक देवी को विपरीत स्थितियों और अन्तःकरण के गुणों में पहचानता है। ‘अलक्ष्मी’ और ‘लज्जा’ के परम्परागत अर्थ हैं; इन्हें किसी व्यक्ति की आर्थिक दशा या आधुनिक सामाजिक स्थिति पर सरल आरोप में नहीं बदलना चाहिए।

How could we describe your inconceivable form, the immense might with which you destroy the asuras, or the extraordinary deeds you performed in battle amid the hosts of gods and asuras?

Explanation

A series of rhetorical questions gives voice to astonishment rather than supplying a new narrative event. The singers acknowledge the limits of their language.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

प्रश्नों की यह शृंखला कोई नई घटना नहीं जोड़ती, बल्कि आश्चर्य व्यक्त करती है। देवताओं की वाणी देवी की सम्पूर्ण महिमा कह पाने में अपनी सीमा स्वीकारती है।

gods

हेतुः समस्तजगतां त्रिगुणापि दोषै- र्न ज्ञायसे हरिहरादिभिरप्यपारा । सर्वाश्रयाखिलमिदं जगदंशभूत- मव्याकृता हि परमा प्रकृतिस्त्वमाद्या

You are the cause of all worlds and yet are beyond full comprehension even to Hari, Hara and others. Though associated with the three qualities, you are untouched by their defects. You are the primordial, unmanifest supreme Prakṛti, on whom the whole world depends.

Roman reading

Explanation

The verse speaks in the vocabulary of Prakṛti and the three guṇas. Its apparent paradox—immanence in creation without limitation by it—is central to the hymn’s theology and should not be flattened into a simple personification of nature.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ प्रकृति और तीन गुणों की दार्शनिक शब्दावली है। सृष्टि में व्याप्त होकर भी उससे सीमित न होना इस स्तुति का महत्त्वपूर्ण विचार है; इसे मात्र प्राकृतिक शक्तियों का मानवीकरण नहीं समझना चाहिए।

4.8

gods

यस्याः समस्तसुरता समुदीरणेन तृप्तिं प्रयाति सकलेषु मखेषु देवि । स्वाहासि वै पितृगणस्य च तृप्तिहेतु- रुच्चार्यसे त्वमत एव जनैः स्वधा च

You are Svāhā, uttered in sacrifices to bring satisfaction to the gods; you are also Svadhā, invoked as the means of satisfaction for the ancestral hosts.

Roman reading

Explanation

Svāhā and Svadhā are ritual utterances with different recipients in traditional offerings. The hymn locates sacred speech and sacrificial efficacy within the Goddess, without presenting a procedural ritual manual.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

स्वाहा और स्वधा परम्परागत अनुष्ठानों में अलग-अलग उद्देश्यों से कही जाती हैं। स्तुति पवित्र वाणी और यज्ञ की सार्थकता को देवी से जोड़ती है; यह स्वयं कोई विस्तृत अनुष्ठान-विधि नहीं है।

You are the supreme knowledge that leads to liberation. Self-restrained sages, seeking release, practise the great discipline connected with you after overcoming their faults.

Roman reading

Explanation

“Vidyā” is more than collecting facts; it is liberating insight in the verse’s setting. The passage recognizes disciplined practice without specifying a public mantra, initiation procedure or guarantee of attainment.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ ‘विद्या’ केवल सूचना या पुस्तक-ज्ञान नहीं, मुक्ति की ओर ले जाने वाला बोध है। श्लोक संयमित साधना का सम्मान करता है, पर कोई सार्वजनिक दीक्षा-विधि या निश्चित फल की गारंटी नहीं बताता।

Explanation

The verse joins Vedic recitation to worldly sustenance; the term vārtā can carry the sense of livelihood and maintenance. Do not reduce it to modern “news,” nor imply the hymn literally recites the entire Vedas.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

श्लोक वेदपाठ और जगत की आजीविका/पोषण व्यवस्था को एक साथ देखता है। ‘वार्ता’ को आधुनिक अर्थ के ‘समाचार’ तक सीमित न करें और न यह मानें कि इसमें पूरे वेदों का पाठ समाहित है।

Explanation

Four familiar names form a theological bridge between learning, deliverance and divine relationships. The “boat” is a metaphor for passage through saṃsāra, not a promise that hardship disappears automatically.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

चार नाम ज्ञान, संसार से पार होने की आशा और अन्य देवस्वरूपों के सम्बन्ध को जोड़ते हैं। ‘नौका’ संसार-सागर से पार जाने की उपमा है; इसका अर्थ यह नहीं कि सभी कठिनाइयाँ अपने-आप मिट जाएँगी।

Explanation

The contrast is deliberate: a serene face confronts aggressive rage. The gods marvel that the asura could respond to such beauty with hostility; the sentence’s compressed grammar merits review.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह श्लोक देवी के सौम्य मुख और असुर के उग्र क्रोध का विरोध दिखाता है। देवताओं को आश्चर्य है कि इतना सौन्दर्य देखकर भी असुर हिंसक हुआ; संस्कृत वाक्यरचना की स्वतंत्र जाँच अपेक्षित है।

Explanation

The reference to “Death” is a forceful poetic comparison for the Goddess’s terrible aspect. It continues the prior verse’s contrast between beauty and awe.

Explanation

This juxtaposes beneficence with the destructive aspect of the Purāṇic narrative. It does not authorize human beings to claim divine sanction for harming families or communities.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

Those on whom you look favourably are honoured in their communities; their wealth and reputation flourish, their kin are not brought low, and they are blessed in their households.

Roman reading

Explanation

The gods describe ideal fruits of divine favour using the social language of the text. This is devotional praise, not a measurable rule connecting financial success with personal virtue.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

देवता देवी की प्रसन्नता के आदर्श फलों को उस समय की सामाजिक भाषा में कहते हैं। यह भक्तिमय स्तुति है, आर्थिक सफलता और सदाचार के बीच कोई जाँच-योग्य सार्वभौम नियम नहीं।

gods

Through your grace, a meritorious person attentively performs righteous acts day by day and thereby attains heaven. Surely, O Goddess, you grant fruit across the three worlds.

Roman reading

Explanation

Here devotion does not eliminate ethical action: righteous conduct remains explicitly present. “Heaven” belongs to the text’s religious cosmology; it is distinct from the liberation described in verse 9.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ भक्ति धर्मसम्मत आचरण का स्थान नहीं लेती; सद्कर्म स्पष्ट रूप से महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं। ‘स्वर्ग’ पाठ के धार्मिक विश्वचित्र का हिस्सा है और नवें श्लोक के ‘मोक्ष’ से अलग है।

Explanation

This is one of the hymn’s most widely recited appeals. It places clarity of mind alongside relief from fear; the prayer need not be turned into a claim that prayer substitutes for practical help.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह स्तुति की अत्यन्त प्रसिद्ध प्रार्थना है। इसमें भय से राहत के साथ सद्बुद्धि का वरदान भी है। इसे ऐसी निश्चित बात न बनाएं कि प्रार्थना वास्तविक सहायता या आवश्यक प्रयास का विकल्प है।

4.18

gods

By the slaying of these enemies the world finds relief; perhaps even the enemies, after accumulating grave wrongs, attain heaven through death in battle. With such a thought, O Goddess, you destroy those hostile to the world.

Explanation

The gods speculate about mercy even toward enemies. This is a difficult theological interpretation within the violent narrative, not a general justification for war or a factual statement about what happens after death.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

देवता शत्रुओं के प्रति भी देवी की करुणा की सम्भावना व्यक्त करते हैं। यह हिंसक पौराणिक प्रसंग के भीतर का जटिल धार्मिक विचार है, युद्ध का सामान्य समर्थन या मृत्यु के बाद होने वाली घटना का प्रमाण नहीं।

4.19

gods

दृष्ट्वैव किं न भवती प्रकरोति भस्म सर्वासुरानरिषु यत्प्रहिणोषि शस्त्रम्। लोकान्प्रयान्तु रिपवोऽपि हि शस्त्रपूता इत्थं मतिर्भवति तेष्वहितेषुसाध्वी

Why do you not burn all asuras to ashes merely by looking at them? You instead send weapons against foes—perhaps because even they may reach higher worlds, purified by weapons. Such goodness appears in your thought toward enemies.

Roman reading

Explanation

The phrase “purified by weapons” must be read within the Purāṇic hymn’s cosmology. It should not be offered as practical counsel about actual violence or as a ritual prescription.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

Explanation

The verse entwines dazzling battle imagery with the beauty of the divine face. Its “perhaps” expresses the singers’ poetic inference rather than an optical explanation.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

Explanation

The hymn refuses to choose between firmness and compassion. Readers may draw ethical reflection from that tension, but the literal subject remains the Goddess's deeds in the narrative.

kenopamaa bhavatu te’sya paraakramasya roopam cha shatrubhayakaaryatihaari kutra | chitte kripaa samaranishthurataa cha drishtaa tvayyeva devi varade bhuvanatraye’pikenopamā bhavatu te’sya parākramasya rūpaṃ ca śatrubhayakāryatihāri kutra | citte kṛpā samaraniṣṭhuratā ca dṛṣṭā tvayyeva devi varade bhuvanatraye’pi

Explanation

The Sanskrit juxtaposes compassion in the heart with harshness in battle. The word choices and construction of the line about the face require careful specialist checking, so the interpretive translation remains provisional.

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

संस्कृत में हृदय की कृपा और युद्ध की निष्ठुरता का स्पष्ट विरोध है। रूप और शत्रुभय से सम्बन्धित पदों का सटीक वाक्यार्थ विशेषज्ञ से जाँचना है; इसलिए यह अनुवाद अभी प्रारम्भिक है।

By destroying the enemies on the battlefield you protected all three worlds; those foes too were led to heaven, and you removed the fear we felt from the raging enemies of the gods. We bow to you.

Explanation

The gods sum up the battle and its claimed double result: safety for the world and a form of benefit for the defeated. This concludes the general praise before specific protective petitions begin.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

देवता युद्ध का सार कहते हैं—जगत के लिए सुरक्षा और पराजितों के लिए भी कथित कल्याण। इसके बाद सामान्य स्तुति से विशेष रक्षा-प्रार्थनाओं की ओर पाठ बढ़ता है।

4.24

gods

शूलेन पाहि नो देवि पाहि खड्गेन चाम्बिके । घण्टास्वनेन नः पाहि चापज्यानिःस्वनेन च

Protect us, O Goddess, with your spear; protect us with your sword, O Ambikā. Guard us by the sound of your bell and the twang of your bowstring.

Roman reading

shoolena paahi no devi paahi khadgena chaambike | ghantaasvanena nah paahi chaapajyaanihsvanena chaśūlena pāhi no devi pāhi khaḍgena cāmbike | ghaṇṭāsvanena naḥ pāhi cāpajyāniḥsvanena ca

Explanation

Weapons and sounds from the battle become images of guardianship. This is a prayer within a devotional hymn, not an instruction for wielding weapons.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

युद्ध में प्रयुक्त अस्त्र और ध्वनियाँ यहाँ रक्षा के प्रतीक बनते हैं। यह भक्ति-स्तुति की प्रार्थना है, हथियार चलाने का निर्देश नहीं।

4.25

gods

प्राच्यां रक्ष प्रतीच्यां च चण्डिके रक्ष दक्षिणे । भ्रामणेनात्मशूलस्य उत्तरस्यां तथेश्वरि

O Chandika, guard us in the east, west and south; O Sovereign Lady, protect us also in the north by the circling of your own spear.O Caṇḍikā, guard us in the east, west and south; O Sovereign Lady, protect us also in the north by the circling of your own spear.

Explanation

The four directions widen the petition from a single immediate danger to a complete surrounding protection. Keep the directional sequence exactly as the text presents it.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

चारों दिशाओं का नाम लेने से प्रार्थना केवल तत्काल खतरे तक सीमित नहीं रहती। दिशाओं का क्रम जैसा पाठ में है वैसा ही सुरक्षित रखना चाहिए।

4.26

gods

सौम्यानि यानि रूपाणि त्रैलोक्ये विचरन्ति ते । यानि चात्यन्तघोराणि तै रक्षास्मांस्तथा भुवम्

With whatever gentle forms of yours move through the three worlds, and with whatever exceedingly fierce forms, protect us and the world.

Roman reading

saumyaani yaani roopaani trailokye vicharanti te | yaani chaatyantaghoraani tai rakshaasmaamstathaa bhuvamsaumyāni yāni rūpāṇi trailokye vicaranti te | yāni cātyantaghorāṇi tai rakṣāsmāṃstathā bhuvam

Explanation

The protective prayer embraces both the peaceful and frightening appearances of the Goddess. The contrast should be retained, not reduced to a single benevolent image.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

रक्षा की प्रार्थना देवी के शांत और भयंकर दोनों स्वरूपों को स्वीकारती है। इस विरोध को बनाए रखना चाहिए; केवल एक कोमल छवि में समेटना उचित नहीं।

4.27

gods

खड्गशूलगदादीनि यानि चास्त्रानि तेऽम्बिके । करपल्लवसङ्गीनि तैरस्मान्रक्ष सर्वतः

With the sword, spear, mace and other weapons held in your lotus-like hands, O Ambikā, protect us on every side.

Roman reading

khadgashoolagadaadeeni yaani chaastraani te’mbike | karapallavasangeeni tairasmaanraksha sarvatahkhaḍgaśūlagadādīni yāni cāstrāni te’mbike | karapallavasaṅgīni tairasmānrakṣa sarvataḥ

Explanation

The poetic delicacy of “lotus-like hands” stands beside the force of the weapons. The prayer completes the protective portion of the gods’ hymn.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

‘कमल-जैसे हाथ’ की कोमलता आयुधों के तेज के साथ रखी गई है। इस श्लोक से देवताओं की रक्षा-प्रार्थना पूर्ण होती है।

Thus praised, the Mother and sustainer of the world was worshipped with divine flowers from Nandana and with fragrant substances.

Roman reading

evam stutaa surairdivyaih kusumairnandanodbhavaih | architaa jagataam dhaatree tathaa gandhaanulepanaihevaṃ stutā surairdivyaiḥ kusumairnandanodbhavaiḥ | arcitā jagatāṃ dhātrī tathā gandhānulepanaiḥ

Explanation

The scene turns from words of praise to offerings. “Nandana” belongs to the traditional celestial setting; its mention does not prescribe a particular modern worship procedure.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

स्तुति के शब्दों से दृश्य पूजा-सामग्री की ओर आता है। ‘नन्दनवन’ पौराणिक दिव्य लोक का संकेत है; यहाँ किसी विशिष्ट आधुनिक पूजा-विधि का निर्देश नहीं दिया गया।

Explanation

The Goddess's favourable expression prepares for the exchange of boons. It also closes the praise without losing its devotional atmosphere.

Other languages and readings

Only one half-verse is counted here in the traditional tally. The Goddess's offer is direct and unrestricted in wording, before the gods explain their actual request.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

Roman reading

bhagavatyaa kritam sarvam na kinchidavashishyatebhagavatyā kṛtaṃ sarvaṃ na kiñcidavaśiṣyate

Explanation

This is the other independently counted half-verse. The gods first express gratitude before making a continuing request.

Other languages and readings

Roman reading

Explanation

The sentence bridges a completed rescue and a wish for ongoing protection. It should be read with the following verses, not treated as a standalone finished boon.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

वाक्य समाप्त हुए संकट और भविष्य की सुरक्षा की इच्छा को जोड़ता है। इसे अगले श्लोकों के साथ पढ़ना चाहिए, अपने-आप में पूरी वर-प्रार्थना न समझें।

gods

संस्मृता संस्मृता त्वं नो हिंसेथाः परमापदः । यश्च मर्त्यः स्तवैरेभिस्त्वां स्तोष्यत्यमलानने

Explanation

The first request is for protection when remembered; the second anticipates benefits to later human devotees. The sentence continues into 4.37.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

Explanation

This is a devotional boon requested by the gods, not a guaranteed formula for wealth or marriage. The wording reflects historical ideals of household prosperity and must be contextualized with care.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह देवताओं द्वारा माँगा गया भक्तिपरक वर है, धन या विवाह का सुनिश्चित सूत्र नहीं। इसमें परम्परागत गृहस्थ-संपन्नता का आदर्श है, जिसे आज के पाठक के लिए संदर्भ सहित समझाना चाहिए।

Having been entreated by the gods for the good of the world and for their own welfare, Bhadrakālī said, “So be it,” and vanished from sight, O King.

Roman reading

Explanation

The blessing is followed by disappearance, a conventional closing movement in Purāṇic storytelling. “O King” reminds readers of Medhas’s dialogue with Suratha.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

वर देने के बाद देवी का अन्तर्धान होना पौराणिक कथा का समापन-संकेत है। ‘हे राजन्’ स्मरण कराता है कि यह ऋषि मेधा और राजा सुरथ का संवाद है।

Explanation

This points forward to the Uttama Carita. The change in manifestation does not justify silently fusing distinct narrative episodes.

Other languages and readings

The chapter ends with an invitation to the next story, rather than another victory scene. Its position as the transition into Chapter 5 should be preserved in the website reader.
