The Goddess’s AssurancesThe Goddess’s Assurances

Jump to verse

12.1

Goddess / देवी

देव्युवाच

The Goddess spoke.

Roman reading

devyuvaachadevyuvāca

Explanation

This short announcement marks the transition from the gods’ hymn to the Goddess’s response. The traditional reckoning counts it as a separate speech formula, not as a complete metrical verse; the first assurance follows in 12.2.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस छोटे वक्ता-सूत्र से देवताओं की स्तुति समाप्त होकर देवी का उत्तर आरम्भ होता है। पारम्परिक सप्तशती-गणना में इसे स्वतंत्र मंत्र-इकाई माना गया है, पूर्ण छन्दबद्ध श्लोक नहीं; आश्वासन अगले पद में आता है।

12.2

Goddess / देवी

एभिः स्तवैश्च मां नित्यं स्तोष्यते यः समाहितः । तस्याहं सकलां बाधां शमयिष्याम्यसंशयम्

Whoever praises me attentively and regularly with these hymns—I will undoubtedly quiet all that person’s afflictions.

Roman reading

ebhih stavaishcha maam nityam stoshyate yah samaahitah | tasyaaham sakalaam baadhaam shamayishyaamyasamshayamebhiḥ stavaiśca māṃ nityaṃ stoṣyate yaḥ samāhitaḥ | tasyāhaṃ sakalāṃ bādhāṃ śamayiṣyāmyasaṃśayam

Explanation

The Goddess connects the hymn just sung with a promise of protection. “These hymns” refers back to the prayers offered by the gods; the language is devotional assurance, not a testable guarantee that believers will never experience illness or hardship.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

देवी अभी-अभी गायी गयी स्तुतियों को स्मरण और रक्षा के आश्वासन से जोड़ती हैं। ‘इन स्तुतियों’ का सम्बन्ध देवताओं की प्रार्थनाओं से है। इसे भक्तिपरक आश्वासन के रूप में पढ़ना चाहिए, ऐसा चिकित्सकीय या सांसारिक वादा नहीं कि जीवन में कभी विपत्ति नहीं आएगी।

12.3

Goddess / देवी

मधुकैटभनाशं च महिषासुरघातनम्। कीर्तयिष्यन्ति ये तद्वद्वधं शुम्भनिशुम्भयोः

Those who recount the destruction of Madhu and Kaiṭabha, the slaying of Mahishasura, and likewise the deaths of Shumbha and Nishumbha—Those who recount the destruction of Madhu and Kaiṭabha, the slaying of Mahiṣāsura, and likewise the deaths of Śumbha and Niśumbha—

Roman reading

madhukaitabhanaasham cha mahishaasuraghaatanam| keertayishyanti ye tadvadvadham shumbhanishumbhayohmadhukaiṭabhanāśaṃ ca mahiṣāsuraghātanam| kīrtayiṣyanti ye tadvadvadhaṃ śumbhaniśumbhayoḥ

Explanation

This sentence continues in 12.4. The Goddess gathers the scripture’s three major battle cycles into one remembered narrative; the point is attentive retelling, not treating each battle as an unrelated legend.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह वाक्य 12.4 में आगे बढ़ता है। देवी ग्रन्थ की तीन बड़ी युद्ध-कथाओं को एक स्मरणीय सम्पूर्ण कथा में जोड़ती हैं। इनके प्रसंग अलग-अलग कहानियाँ मात्र नहीं, देवीमाहात्म्य की क्रमबद्ध रचना का अंग हैं।

12.4

Goddess / देवी

अष्टम्यां च चतुर्दश्यां नवम्यां चैकचेतसः । श्रोष्यन्ति चैव ये भक्त्या मम माहात्म्यमुत्तमम्

And those who listen with devotion and undivided attention to my excellent greatness on the eighth, fourteenth or ninth lunar day—

Roman reading

ashtamyaam cha chaturdashyaam navamyaam chaikachetasah | shroshyanti chaiva ye bhaktyaa mama maahaatmyamuttamamaṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśyāṃ navamyāṃ caikacetasaḥ | śroṣyanti caiva ye bhaktyā mama māhātmyamuttamam

Explanation

The stated dates are lunar tithis, not fixed dates on the civil calendar. Together with 12.3, this forms a praise of recitation and attentive listening on especially significant devotional observances; interpretations of the specific ritual calendar vary by tradition.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ अष्टमी, चतुर्दशी और नवमी चन्द्र-तिथियाँ हैं, अंग्रेज़ी कैलेंडर की स्थिर तारीखें नहीं। 12.3 के साथ यह पद विशेष अवसरों पर श्रद्धापूर्वक पाठ और श्रवण का महत्त्व बताता है; पूजन-विधि और तिथि-निर्णय में परम्परानुसार भेद हो सकता है।

12.5

Goddess / देवी

न तेषां दुष्कृतं किञ्चिद्दुष्कृतोत्था न चापदः । भविष्यति न दारिद्र्यं न चैवेष्टवियोजनम्

For them no wrongdoing or calamity arising from wrongdoing shall prevail; there shall be neither poverty nor separation from what is dear.

Roman reading

na teshaam dushkritam kinchiddushkritotthaa na chaapadah | bhavishyati na daaridryam na chaiveshtaviyojanamna teṣāṃ duṣkṛtaṃ kiñcidduṣkṛtotthā na cāpadaḥ | bhaviṣyati na dāridryaṃ na caiveṣṭaviyojanam

Explanation

The verse continues the traditional promise attached to remembering the Goddess’s greatness. Its language expresses a religious ideal of well-being and refuge; it should not be presented to readers as a literal guarantee of wealth or protection against bereavement.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह श्लोक देवीमाहात्म्य के श्रवण से जुड़ी कल्याणकारी प्रतिज्ञा को आगे बढ़ाता है। गरीबी और वियोग से रक्षा की बात धार्मिक आशा और शरण का स्वर है; इससे किसी व्यक्ति को धन या प्रियजनों के न बिछुड़ने की निश्चित लौकिक गारंटी नहीं देनी चाहिए।

12.6

Goddess / देवी

शत्रुभ्यो न भयं तस्य दस्युतो वा न राजतः । न शस्त्रानलतोयौघात्कदाचित्सम्भविष्यति

Nor will such a person have fear of enemies, robbers or rulers; nor shall danger arise from weapons, fire or surging waters.

Roman reading

shatrubhyo na bhayam tasya dasyuto vaa na raajatah | na shastraanalatoyaughaatkadaachitsambhavishyatiśatrubhyo na bhayaṃ tasya dasyuto vā na rājataḥ | na śastrānalatoyaughātkadācitsambhaviṣyati

Explanation

The text lists dangers a listener in the ancient world could fear: violence, political authority and forces of nature. The divine assurance belongs to the hymn’s sacred register; ordinary precautions against violence, fire and flood remain essential.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

पाठ में प्राचीन जीवन के भय—आक्रमण, राज्यसत्ता, आग और बाढ़—एक साथ आते हैं। देवी की वाणी आध्यात्मिक आश्रय की भाषा है; इसे सुरक्षा-सावधानी, कानून या आपदा-प्रबन्धन की आवश्यकता मिटाने वाला निर्देश नहीं समझना चाहिए।

12.7

Goddess / देवी

तस्मान्ममैतन्माहात्म्यं पठितव्यं समाहितैः । श्रोतव्यं च सदा भक्त्या परं स्वस्त्ययनं महत्

Therefore my greatness should be read with a composed mind and always heard with devotion; it is a great source of auspicious welfare.

Roman reading

tasmaanmamaitanmaahaatmyam pathitavyam samaahitaih | shrotavyam cha sadaa bhaktyaa param svastyayanam mahattasmānmamaitanmāhātmyaṃ paṭhitavyaṃ samāhitaiḥ | śrotavyaṃ ca sadā bhaktyā paraṃ svastyayanaṃ mahat

Explanation

After enumerating promised benefits, the Goddess states a practical devotional response: read and listen attentively. The term svastyayana indicates well-being or auspicious protection; the verse emphasizes inward orientation rather than merely mechanical repetition.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

लाभों के उल्लेख के बाद देवी पाठ और श्रवण की दिशा स्पष्ट करती हैं। ‘स्वस्त्ययन’ मंगल और कल्याण की कामना से जुड़ा शब्द है। यहाँ केवल अक्षरों के यान्त्रिक उच्चारण के बजाय श्रद्धा और मन की एकाग्रता पर बल दिया गया है।

12.8

Goddess / देवी

उपसर्गानशेषांस्तु महामारीसमुद्भवान्। तथा त्रिविधमुत्पातं माहात्म्यं शमयेन्मम

My greatness will quiet the many disturbances arising from devastating epidemics and the three kinds of ominous upheaval.

Roman reading

upasargaanasheshaamstu mahaamaareesamudbhavaan| tathaa trividhamutpaatam maahaatmyam shamayenmamaupasargānaśeṣāṃstu mahāmārīsamudbhavān| tathā trividhamutpātaṃ māhātmyaṃ śamayenmama

Explanation

The threefold disturbance language belongs to older religious cosmology; its precise classification should be documented rather than equated automatically with modern medical categories. This verse is a traditional claim about sacred recitation, not a substitute for public-health measures or medical treatment.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

‘त्रिविध उत्पात’ प्राचीन धार्मिक वर्गीकरण की भाषा है; इसकी श्रेणियों को बिना प्रमाण आधुनिक रोग-वर्गों से नहीं मिलाना चाहिए। महामारी का उल्लेख ग्रन्थ की भक्तिपरक प्रतिज्ञा है, रोग-रोकथाम, सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य या चिकित्सा का विकल्प नहीं।

12.9

Goddess / देवी

यत्रैतत्पठ्यते सम्यङ्नित्यमायतने मम । सदा न तद्विमोक्ष्यामि सान्निध्यं तत्र मे स्थितम्

Where this greatness of mine is rightly recited each day in my shrine, I will never abandon that place; my presence will remain established there.

Roman reading

yatraitatpathyate samyannityamaayatane mama | sadaa na tadvimokshyaami saannidhyam tatra me sthitamyatraitatpaṭhyate samyaṅnityamāyatane mama | sadā na tadvimokṣyāmi sānnidhyaṃ tatra me sthitam

Explanation

The emphasis turns from protection of individuals to sanctification of a worship place. The verse characterizes recurring recitation as cultivating awareness of the Goddess’s presence; it does not define an independently measurable physical condition.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ व्यक्ति की रक्षा से आराधना-स्थल की पवित्रता पर ध्यान जाता है। नियमित पाठ को देवी की सन्निधि से जोड़ा गया है। उस धार्मिक अनुभव को आधुनिक भौतिक मापदण्डों से सिद्ध या असिद्ध करने का दावा यह सम्पादकीय व्याख्या नहीं करती।

12.10

Back to contents

Goddess / देवी

बलिप्रदाने पूजायामग्निकार्ये महोत्सवे । सर्वं ममैतन्माहात्म्यम्उच्चार्यं श्राव्यमेव च

At offerings, worship, rites involving sacred fire and great festivals, all of my greatness should be proclaimed and heard.

Roman reading

balipradaane poojaayaamagnikaarye mahotsave | sarvam mamaitanmaahaatmyamuchchaaryam shraavyameva chabalipradāne pūjāyāmagnikārye mahotsave | sarvaṃ mamaitanmāhātmyamuccāryaṃ śrāvyameva ca

Explanation

The original lists settings in which communal recitation is appropriate. Bali can refer to a ritual offering within diverse historical customs; this verse should be explained as documentation of the text’s ritual world, not as instructions to perform animal sacrifice.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह पद सामूहिक पाठ के प्रसंगों—अर्पण, पूजा, अग्निकर्म और महोत्सव—का उल्लेख करता है। ‘बलि’ की ऐतिहासिक व्याख्याएँ भिन्न हैं; यहाँ इसका विवेचन पाठ-सन्दर्भ में किया गया है, जीव-बलि करने के व्यावहारिक निर्देश के रूप में नहीं।

12.11

Goddess / देवी

जानताजानता वापि बलिपूजां यथा कृताम्। प्रतीक्षिष्याम्यहं प्रीत्या वह्निहोमं तथाकृतम्

Whether a person performs the offering and worship knowingly or without full understanding, I shall accept such worship and the sacred-fire oblation with affection.

Roman reading

jaanataajaanataa vaapi balipoojaam yathaa kritaam| prateekshishyaamyaham preetyaa vahnihomam tathaakritamjānatājānatā vāpi balipūjāṃ yathā kṛtām| pratīkṣiṣyāmyahaṃ prītyā vahnihomaṃ tathākṛtam

Explanation

The statement foregrounds the Goddess’s receptiveness rather than demanding perfect ritual expertise. It sits in a specific textual tradition with its own rituals; “accept” is a devotional expression and does not waive ethical, legal or safety considerations.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस कथन में विधि की पूर्ण जानकारी से अधिक देवी की स्वीकारशीलता उभरती है। यह उस समय की अनुष्ठान-परम्परा का कथन है। ‘स्वीकार करूँगी’ भक्तिभाव की भाषा है; इससे नैतिकता, कानून या अग्नि-सुरक्षा की उपेक्षा उचित नहीं होती।

12.12

Goddess / देवी

शरत्काले महापूजा क्रियते या च वार्षिकी । तस्यां ममैतन्माहात्म्यं श्रुत्वा भक्तिसमन्वितः

At the great yearly worship performed in the autumn, whoever listens to this greatness of mine with devotion—

Roman reading

sharatkaale mahaapoojaa kriyate yaa cha vaarshikee | tasyaam mamaitanmaahaatmyam shrutvaa bhaktisamanvitahśaratkāle mahāpūjā kriyate yā ca vārṣikī | tasyāṃ mamaitanmāhātmyaṃ śrutvā bhaktisamanvitaḥ

Explanation

The half-sentence continues in 12.13. “Autumnal great worship” situates the scripture in a seasonal festival context associated with the Goddess; it should not be collapsed into one rigid, universally shared modern calendar date.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह कथन 12.13 में पूरा होता है। शरद्कालीन महापूजा देवी-उपासना के ऋतु-आधारित उत्सव को दर्शाती है; इसे सभी क्षेत्रों के लिए एक ही निश्चित आधुनिक तारीख में सीमित नहीं करना चाहिए।

12.13

Goddess / देवी

सर्वाबाधाविनिर्मुक्तो धनधान्यसमन्वितः । मनुष्यो मत्प्रसादेन भविष्यति न संशयः

Such a person, by my grace, will be freed from afflictions and supplied with wealth and grain—of this there is no doubt, says the Goddess.

Roman reading

sarvaabaadhaavinirmukto dhanadhaanyasamanvitah | manushyo matprasaadena bhavishyati na samshayahsarvābādhāvinirmukto dhanadhānyasamanvitaḥ | manuṣyo matprasādena bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ

Explanation

“Wealth and grain” couples material stability with the basic ability to nourish a household. Because this completes 12.12, the promise is linked to attentive listening at the annual worship; it is not a financial prediction or a reason to forgo livelihood planning.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

‘धन-धान्य’ केवल मुद्रा नहीं, जीवन-निर्वाह के आवश्यक साधनों की समृद्धि भी बताता है। यह 12.12 में आरम्भ हुई बात की पूर्ति है। धार्मिक आशीर्वाद को निश्चित आर्थिक भविष्यवाणी या श्रम-योजना छोड़ देने का आधार नहीं बनाना चाहिए।

12.14

Goddess / देवी

श्रुत्वा ममैतन्माहात्म्यं तथा चोत्पत्तयः शुभाः । पराक्रमं च युद्धेषु जायते निर्भयः पुमान्

Hearing this greatness of mine and the auspicious accounts of my manifestations, a person becomes fearless and gains courage in battles.

Roman reading

shrutvaa mamaitanmaahaatmyam tathaa chotpattayah shubhaah | paraakramam cha yuddheshu jaayate nirbhayah pumaanśrutvā mamaitanmāhātmyaṃ tathā cotpattayaḥ śubhāḥ | parākramaṃ ca yuddheṣu jāyate nirbhayaḥ pumān

Explanation

The text speaks in a martial world where facing danger required courage. A wider reader may understand the cultivation of steadiness in adversity as an application, but that contemporary reading must be distinguished from the verse’s explicit reference to battle.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस श्लोक की प्रत्यक्ष भाषा युद्ध और साहस की है। आज का पाठक प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में धैर्य का संदेश ग्रहण कर सकता है, पर वह आधुनिक अनुप्रयोग है; मूल पद का युद्ध-सन्दर्भ अलग से स्पष्ट रहना चाहिए।

12.15

Goddess / देवी

रिपवः सङ्क्षयं यान्ति कल्याणं चोपपद्यते । नन्दते च कुलं पुंसां माहात्म्यं मम श‍ृण्वताम्

Adversaries come to an end, auspiciousness arises, and the family of those who hear my greatness rejoices.

Roman reading

ripavah sankshayam yaanti kalyaanam chopapadyate | nandate cha kulam pumsaam maahaatmyam mama sha‍ृnvataamripavaḥ saṅkṣayaṃ yānti kalyāṇaṃ copapadyate | nandate ca kulaṃ puṃsāṃ māhātmyaṃ mama śaृṇvatām

Explanation

Here the promised effects widen from the individual to the household. The verse uses the narrative language of victory and communal rejoicing; its sense of “enemies” must not be turned into hostility toward ordinary people or an endorsement of revenge.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस पद में लाभ व्यक्ति से बढ़कर उसके परिवार तक पहुँचता है। ‘शत्रुओं का क्षय’ युद्धकथा की पारम्परिक भाषा है; इसे सामान्य लोगों के प्रति वैर रखने या प्रतिशोध का समर्थन करने वाला उपदेश नहीं बनाना चाहिए।

12.16

Goddess / देवी

शान्तिकर्मणि सर्वत्र तथा दुःस्वप्नदर्शने । ग्रहपीडासु चोग्रासु माहात्म्यं श‍ृणुयान्मम

In rites intended to restore peace, when someone has seen a frightening dream, or during severe afflictions attributed to the planets, one should hear my greatness.

Roman reading

shaantikarmani sarvatra tathaa duhsvapnadarshane | grahapeedaasu chograasu maahaatmyam sha‍ृnuyaanmamaśāntikarmaṇi sarvatra tathā duḥsvapnadarśane | grahapīḍāsu cogrāsu māhātmyaṃ śaृṇuyānmama

Explanation

The verse situates recitation within traditional practices for dealing with anxiety and inauspicious signs. Graha-pīḍā is an inherited cosmological term; its presence does not establish a modern scientific cause of illness, nor does the verse replace appropriate care.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह श्लोक भय और अशुभ-संकेत के प्रसंग में पाठ का उल्लेख करता है। ‘ग्रहपीड़ा’ परम्परागत ब्रह्माण्ड-विचार का पद है; इससे रोग का आधुनिक वैज्ञानिक कारण सिद्ध नहीं होता और आवश्यक देखभाल का विकल्प भी नहीं मिलता।

12.17

Goddess / देवी

उपसर्गाः शमं यान्ति ग्रहपीडाश्च दारुणाः । दुःस्वप्नं च नृभिर्दृष्टं सुस्वप्नमुपजायते

Disturbances and severe afflictions attributed to the planets subside; a troubling dream becomes a favourable one for those who have seen it.

Roman reading

upasargaah shamam yaanti grahapeedaashcha daarunaah | duhsvapnam cha nribhirdrishtam susvapnamupajaayateupasargāḥ śamaṃ yānti grahapīḍāśca dāruṇāḥ | duḥsvapnaṃ ca nṛbhirdṛṣṭaṃ susvapnamupajāyate

Explanation

This completes the thought of 12.16 and uses the idiom of warding off ill omens. Devotional confidence may comfort someone after a nightmare, but recurrent distressing dreams or medical symptoms merit appropriate practical attention as well.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह पद 12.16 की बात को पूरा करते हुए अशुभता के निवारण की आशा व्यक्त करता है। दुःस्वप्न के बाद प्रार्थना से धीरज मिल सकता है, पर लगातार दुःस्वप्न, मानसिक पीड़ा या स्वास्थ्य-समस्या के लिए आवश्यक सहायता लेना भी महत्त्वपूर्ण है।

12.18

Goddess / देवी

बालग्रहाभिभूतानां बालानां शान्तिकारकम्। सङ्घातभेदे च नृणां मैत्रीकरणमुत्तमम्

It brings peace to children believed to be afflicted by harmful child-seizing powers; when human groups are divided, it is praised as an excellent means of restoring friendship.

Roman reading

baalagrahaabhibhootaanaam baalaanaam shaantikaarakam| sanghaatabhede cha nrinaam maitreekaranamuttamambālagrahābhibhūtānāṃ bālānāṃ śāntikārakam| saṅghātabhede ca nṛṇāṃ maitrīkaraṇamuttamam

Explanation

The verse pairs traditional concerns for children with the mending of social rifts. Bālagraha reflects an older understanding of childhood affliction; a sick child needs timely medical evaluation. The friendship motif concerns reconciliation, not forced suppression of disagreement.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

श्लोक में बच्चों के लिए शान्ति की प्रार्थना और बिखरे समुदायों में मैत्री स्थापित करने की आशा साथ आती है। ‘बालग्रह’ प्राचीन मान्यता है; अस्वस्थ बच्चे के लिए उचित चिकित्सकीय सहायता आवश्यक है। मेल-मिलाप का अर्थ मतभेद को बलपूर्वक दबाना नहीं।

12.19

Goddess / देवी

दुर्वृत्तानामशेषाणां बलहानिकरं परम्। रक्षोभूतपिशाचानां पठनादेव नाशनम्

It is said to diminish the power of those who act wickedly and to dispel rākṣasas, spirits and piśācas through recitation alone.

Roman reading

durvrittaanaamasheshaanaam balahaanikaram param| rakshobhootapishaachaanaam pathanaadeva naashanamdurvṛttānāmaśeṣāṇāṃ balahānikaraṃ param| rakṣobhūtapiśācānāṃ paṭhanādeva nāśanam

Explanation

The list names threatening figures within Purāṇic religious imagination. An allegorical interpretation might speak of overcoming fear or harmful habits, but that is an interpretation, not a replacement for the supernatural language actually present in the Sanskrit.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ राक्षस, भूत और पिशाच पौराणिक धार्मिक कल्पना के विशिष्ट नाम हैं। कोई पाठक इनके प्रतीक के रूप में भय या हानिकारक प्रवृत्तियों को समझ सकता है, पर वह सम्भावित प्रतीकार्थ है, संस्कृत में उपस्थित पौराणिक कथन का स्थानापन्न नहीं।

12.20

Back to contents

Goddess / देवी

सर्वं ममैतन्माहात्म्यं मम सन्निधिकारकम्। पशुपुष्पार्घ्यधूपैश्च गन्धदीपैस्तथोत्तमैः

The whole account of my greatness brings my nearness; offerings, flowers, water offerings, incense, fine fragrances and lamps are named in this context—

Roman reading

sarvam mamaitanmaahaatmyam mama sannidhikaarakam| pashupushpaarghyadhoopaishcha gandhadeepaistathottamaihsarvaṃ mamaitanmāhātmyaṃ mama sannidhikārakam| paśupuṣpārghyadhūpaiśca gandhadīpaistathottamaiḥ

Explanation

The verse begins a comparison that runs through 12.22. Its offerings are part of a historical catalogue of worship practices, including disputed forms of bali; we record the words without issuing instructions to perform sacrifices or unsafe rites.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ 12.22 तक चलने वाली तुलना शुरू होती है। पूजा-सामग्री की सूची में ‘बलि’ जैसे ऐतिहासिक रूप से विविध और विवादित पद भी हैं। उनका शब्दार्थ दर्ज किया जा रहा है, न कि किसी जीव-बलि अथवा असुरक्षित अनुष्ठान के लिए निर्देश दिए जा रहे हैं।

12.21

Goddess / देवी

विप्राणां भोजनैर्होमैः प्रोक्षणीयैरहर्निशम्। अन्यैश्च विविधैर्भोगैः प्रदानैर्वत्सरेण या

With feeding of learned priests, fire offerings, ritual sprinklings, day and night observances, and many other gifts and enjoyments given over a whole year—

Roman reading

vipraanaam bhojanairhomaih prokshaneeyairaharnisham| anyaishcha vividhairbhogaih pradaanairvatsarena yaaviprāṇāṃ bhojanairhomaiḥ prokṣaṇīyairaharniśam| anyaiśca vividhairbhogaiḥ pradānairvatsareṇa yā

Explanation

The accumulated sequence of rites from 12.20 continues here and resolves in 12.22. It shows the scale of ritual devotion presumed by the narrative. The text’s social vocabulary reflects its historical setting; readers need not imitate any practice to understand the passage.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

12.20 से आरम्भ हुई पूजा-विधियों की सूची यहाँ आगे बढ़ती है और उसका निष्कर्ष 12.22 में मिलता है। इसमें विस्तृत अनुष्ठान-संस्कृति का वर्णन है। पाठ की सामाजिक शब्दावली उसके ऐतिहासिक परिवेश की है; समझने के लिए प्रत्येक विधि का अनुकरण आवश्यक नहीं।

12.22

Goddess / देवी

प्रीतिर्मे क्रियते सास्मिन्सकृदुच्चरिते श्रुते । श्रुतं हरति पापानि तथारोग्यं प्रयच्छति

The affection shown to me through those practices over a year is also shown when this account is once recited or heard. Hearing it removes sins and grants health, declares the Goddess.

Roman reading

preetirme kriyate saasminsakriduchcharite shrute | shrutam harati paapaani tathaarogyam prayachchhatiprītirme kriyate sāsminsakṛduccarite śrute | śrutaṃ harati pāpāni tathārogyaṃ prayacchati

Explanation

The striking comparison values even a single sincere hearing alongside elaborate year-long observances. The claim of health is part of the devotional merit tradition; it should not be treated as proof that recitation cures disease. The passage privileges access to sacred remembrance, including for those unable to conduct expensive rites.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस पद का विशेष बल है कि भावपूर्वक किया गया एक पाठ या श्रवण विस्तृत वार्षिक पूजा के बराबर प्रिय हो सकता है। आरोग्य का कथन भक्तिपरक फलश्रुति है, रोग मिटाने का चिकित्सकीय प्रमाण नहीं। इससे साधनहीन पाठक के लिए भी स्मरण और श्रवण का द्वार खुलता है।

12.23

Goddess / देवी

रक्षां करोति भूतेभ्यो जन्मनां कीर्तनं मम । युद्धेषु चरितं यन्मे दुष्टदैत्यनिबर्हणम्

The recounting of my manifestations protects from harmful beings; the accounts of my battles describe the overthrow of destructive asuras.

Roman reading

rakshaam karoti bhootebhyo janmanaam keertanam mama | yuddheshu charitam yanme dushtadaityanibarhanamrakṣāṃ karoti bhūtebhyo janmanāṃ kīrtanaṃ mama | yuddheṣu caritaṃ yanme duṣṭadaityanibarhaṇam

Explanation

This introduces the value of remembering the Goddess’s birth or manifestation stories and her battles. The fierce episodes are set within the cosmic struggle presented by the Purāṇa, not instructions for violence against present-day opponents.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ देवी के जन्म अथवा प्राकट्य और उनके युद्ध-चरित्र को स्मरण का आधार बनाया गया है। भीषण प्रसंग पुराण की दैवी-असुरी संघर्षकथा में आते हैं; वे वर्तमान समाज के विरोधियों पर हिंसा करने का आदेश नहीं हैं।

12.24

Goddess / देवी

तस्मिञ्छ्रुते वैरिकृतं भयं पुंसां न जायते । युष्माभिः स्तुतयो याश्च याश्च ब्रह्मर्षिभिः कृताः

When those battles are heard, fear caused by enemies does not arise; the hymns composed by you and by great Brahmin sages—

Roman reading

tasminchhrute vairikritam bhayam pumsaam na jaayate | yushmaabhih stutayo yaashcha yaashcha brahmarshibhih kritaahtasmiñchrute vairikṛtaṃ bhayaṃ puṃsāṃ na jāyate | yuṣmābhiḥ stutayo yāśca yāśca brahmarṣibhiḥ kṛtāḥ

Explanation

This unit begins a sentence completed in 12.25. The Goddess links narrative recitation with hymnic praise; keeping that grammatical continuation visible avoids falsely presenting the second half as an independent completed promise.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ आरम्भ हुआ वाक्य 12.25 में पूरा होता है। देवी कथा-श्रवण और स्तुति दोनों को जोड़ती हैं। इस व्याकरणिक निरन्तरता को स्पष्ट रखना आवश्यक है, ताकि पद के उत्तरार्ध को अलग, सम्पूर्ण वचन न समझ लिया जाए।

12.25

Goddess / देवी

ब्रह्मणा च कृतास्तास्तु प्रयच्छन्तु शुभां मतिम्। अरण्ये प्रान्तरे वापि दावाग्निपरिवारितः

And those composed by Brahma may grant noble understanding. Whether one is in a forest, a deserted tract, or surrounded by wildfire—And those composed by Brahmā may grant noble understanding. Whether one is in a forest, a deserted tract, or surrounded by wildfire—

Roman reading

brahmanaa cha kritaastaastu prayachchhantu shubhaam matim| aranye praantare vaapi daavaagniparivaaritahbrahmaṇā ca kṛtāstāstu prayacchantu śubhāṃ matim| araṇye prāntare vāpi dāvāgniparivāritaḥ

Explanation

The first sentence completes 12.24; the second begins a long catalogue of perils extending through 12.29. The key devotional point is recollection amid fear. Being in a fire is a genuine emergency requiring escape and aid, not simply prayer.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

पहला वाक्य 12.24 की बात पूरी करता है; दूसरा 12.29 तक चलने वाले संकट-वर्णन का आरम्भ है। संकट में देवी-स्मरण मूल भक्तिपरक सूत्र है। वास्तविक जंगल की आग में सुरक्षित स्थान पर पहुँचना और सहायता लेना अत्यावश्यक है, केवल प्रार्थना करना पर्याप्त नहीं।

12.26

Goddess / देवी

दस्युभिर्वा वृतः शून्ये गृहीतो वापि शत्रुभिः । सिंहव्याघ्रानुयातो वा वने वा वनहस्तिभिः

Or surrounded by bandits in a lonely place, captured by enemies, chased by lions and tigers, or threatened by wild elephants in a forest—

Roman reading

dasyubhirvaa vritah shoonye griheeto vaapi shatrubhih | simhavyaaghraanuyaato vaa vane vaa vanahastibhihdasyubhirvā vṛtaḥ śūnye gṛhīto vāpi śatrubhiḥ | siṃhavyāghrānuyāto vā vane vā vanahastibhiḥ

Explanation

The string of hazards continues without a conclusion until 12.29–12.30. It draws on travel and wilderness fears in the Purāṇic world. The passage does not remove the need to seek safety or professional rescue when confronted with dangerous animals or attackers.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह संकटों की क्रमिक सूची है, जिसका निष्कर्ष 12.29–12.30 में मिलेगा। इसमें पुराण-कालीन वन और यात्रा-संबन्धी भय आते हैं। खतरनाक पशुओं या हमलावरों के सामने यथासम्भव बचाव, दूरी और सहायता आवश्यक ही रहते हैं।

12.27

Goddess / देवी

राज्ञा क्रुद्धेन चाज्ञप्तो वध्यो बन्धगतोऽपि वा । आघूर्णितो वा वातेन स्थितः पोते महार्णवे

Or condemned or imprisoned by an angry ruler, or tossed by winds while aboard a ship on the great ocean—

Roman reading

raajnaa kruddhena chaajnapto vadhyo bandhagato’pi vaa | aaghoornito vaa vaatena sthitah pote mahaarnaverājñā kruddhena cājñapto vadhyo bandhagato’pi vā | āghūrṇito vā vātena sthitaḥ pote mahārṇave

Explanation

Political punishment and maritime danger extend the catalogue beyond the forest. The verse represents conditions of extreme vulnerability, giving literary force to the appeal for divine refuge. It should not be read as replacing legal assistance or maritime safety measures.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

राजकीय दण्ड और समुद्री तूफ़ान जोड़कर कथा वन से बाहर के संकट भी सामने रखती है। गहरे असहायपन की स्थितियाँ देवी की शरण का भाव तीव्र करती हैं। कानूनी सहायता और जलयात्रा की सुरक्षा को छोड़ देने का यह निर्देश नहीं है।

12.28

Goddess / देवी

पतत्सु चापि शस्त्रेषु सङ्ग्रामे भृशदारुणे । सर्वाबाधासु घोरासु वेदनाभ्यर्दितोऽपि वा

Or when weapons are falling in a terrible battle, or when one is overcome by severe troubles and pain—

Roman reading

patatsu chaapi shastreshu sangraame bhrishadaarune | sarvaabaadhaasu ghoraasu vedanaabhyardito’pi vaapatatsu cāpi śastreṣu saṅgrāme bhṛśadāruṇe | sarvābādhāsu ghorāsu vedanābhyardito’pi vā

Explanation

The list reaches its climax in violence and suffering before the promised response in 12.29. Recognizing the text’s martial imagery matters: “weapons falling” depicts a battle, not an abstract spiritual test alone.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

प्रत्यक्ष हिंसा और तीव्र वेदना का वर्णन संकटों की इस श्रृंखला को चरम तक पहुँचाता है; उत्तर 12.29 में आता है। ‘गिरते शस्त्र’ वास्तविक युद्ध की छवि है, केवल मन के भीतर की प्रतीकात्मक परीक्षा नहीं।

12.29

Goddess / देवी

स्मरन्ममैतच्चरितं नरो मुच्येत सङ्कटात्। मम प्रभावात्सिंहाद्या दस्यवो वैरिणस्तथा

A person remembering this story of mine is freed from distress. Through my power, lions and similar beasts, robbers and enemies—

Roman reading

smaranmamaitachcharitam naro muchyeta sankataat| mama prabhaavaatsimhaadyaa dasyavo vairinastathaasmaranmamaitaccaritaṃ naro mucyeta saṅkaṭāt| mama prabhāvātsiṃhādyā dasyavo vairiṇastathā

Explanation

This is both the conclusion of the danger catalogue and the beginning of the final assurance, completed by the half-verse 12.30. The remembered carita is a narrative of divine help; literal escape from danger cannot be guaranteed in real-life emergencies.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह पद संकटों की सूची का फल बताता है और अन्तिम प्रतिज्ञा आरम्भ करता है, जो 12.30 के अर्धश्लोक में पूरी होती है। देवी का चरित्र संकट में आश्रय का धार्मिक स्मरण है; वास्तविक आपातकाल में हर व्यक्ति का सुरक्षित बच निकलना सुनिश्चित नहीं माना जा सकता।

12.30

Goddess / देवी

दूरादेव पलायन्ते स्मरतश्चरितं मम

Flee from far away from the one who remembers my story.

Roman reading

dooraadeva palaayante smaratashcharitam mamadūrādeva palāyante smarataścaritaṃ mama

Explanation

This is a separate traditionally counted half-verse, completing the sentence begun at 12.29. The verse concerns the fleeing of threatening beings and enemies in a sacred promise. Editorially it must not be padded with a fabricated second line or represented as an ordinary full śloka.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह स्वतंत्र रूप से गिना गया अर्धश्लोक है, जो 12.29 का वाक्य पूरा करता है। पौराणिक प्रतिज्ञा में भयकारी पशुओं और शत्रुओं के दूर भागने की बात है। सम्पादकीय रूप से इसमें मनगढ़न्त दूसरी पंक्ति जोड़ना या इसे पूर्ण श्लोक कहना अनुचित होगा।

12.31

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

ऋषिरुवाच

The sage said.

Roman reading

rishiruvaachaṛṣiruvāca

Explanation

The speech returns from the Goddess’s own assurances to Sage Medhas’s narration for King Suratha. Like 12.1, this is a separately counted speaker formula rather than a full verse; it prepares the account of the Goddess’s withdrawal from sight.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यहाँ देवी की प्रत्यक्ष वाणी से कथा फिर मेधा ऋषि के कथन में लौटती है। सुरथ को सुनायी जाने वाली कथा का यह वक्ता-सूत्र 12.1 की भाँति स्वतंत्र मंत्र-इकाई है, पूर्ण पद्य नहीं; अब देवी के अन्तर्धान का प्रसंग आएगा।

12.32

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

इत्युक्त्वा सा भगवती चण्डिका चण्डविक्रमा

Having spoken thus, the Blessed Goddess Chandika, mighty in her terrible power—Having spoken thus, the Blessed Goddess Caṇḍikā, mighty in her terrible power—

Roman reading

ityuktvaa saa bhagavatee Chandika chandavikramaaityuktvā sā bhagavatī caṇḍikā caṇḍavikramā

Explanation

The line opens a sentence that ends in 12.33, when the Goddess vanishes before the gods. It is the chapter’s second traditionally counted half-verse; both its grammatical incompleteness and its narrative placement should be retained.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह पद अगले श्लोक 12.33 में पूरा होता है, जहाँ देवताओं के सामने देवी अन्तर्धान होती हैं। यह अध्याय का दूसरा पारम्परिक अर्धश्लोक है। इसका अधूरा व्याकरणिक रूप और कथाक्रम दोनों सुरक्षित रखना चाहिए।

12.33

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

पश्यतां सर्वदेवानां तत्रैवान्तरधीयत । तेऽपि देवा निरातङ्काः स्वाधिकारान्यथा पुरा

Disappeared there before the eyes of all the gods. The gods, free from fear, resumed their former offices, as they had done before.

Roman reading

pashyataam sarvadevaanaam tatraivaantaradheeyata | te’pi devaa niraatankaah svaadhikaaraanyathaa puraapaśyatāṃ sarvadevānāṃ tatraivāntaradhīyata | te’pi devā nirātaṅkāḥ svādhikārānyathā purā

Explanation

The first clause completes 12.32. The Goddess’s disappearance does not signal the end of her power; it concludes this visible manifestation. The gods’ restoration to their own responsibilities provides the narrative sign that cosmic order is re-established.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

पहला खण्ड 12.32 का वाक्य पूरा करता है। देवी का आँखों से ओझल होना उनकी शक्ति की समाप्ति नहीं, दृश्य प्राकट्य का समापन है। देवताओं का अपने पदों पर लौटना कथा में विश्व-व्यवस्था के फिर स्थापित होने का संकेत है।

12.34

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

यज्ञभागभुजः सर्वे चक्रुर्विनिहतारयः । दैत्याश्च देव्या निहते शुम्भे देवरिपौ युधि

All resumed receiving their shares of sacrifices once their enemies had been destroyed. The surviving asuras, after the Goddess slew Shumbha, the enemy of the gods, in battle—All resumed receiving their shares of sacrifices once their enemies had been destroyed. The surviving asuras, after the Goddess slew Śumbha, the enemy of the gods, in battle—

Roman reading

yajnabhaagabhujah sarve chakrurvinihataarayah | daityaashcha devyaa nihate shumbhe devaripau yudhiyajñabhāgabhujaḥ sarve cakrurvinihatārayaḥ | daityāśca devyā nihate śumbhe devaripau yudhi

Explanation

This verse recalls the gods’ sacrificial roles, a recurring sign of balance in the Purāṇic story. Its second sentence continues in 12.35; do not imply that all asuras perished when the text explicitly refers to survivors.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यज्ञभाग फिर प्राप्त करना पुराण की कथा में दैवी व्यवस्था की पुनर्स्थापना का संकेत है। दूसरे वाक्य का अर्थ 12.35 में पूरा होता है। पाठ शेष असुरों का उल्लेख करता है, इसलिए सभी असुरों के विनाश का दावा यहाँ नहीं करना चाहिए।

12.35

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

जगद्विध्वंसके तस्मिन्महोग्रेऽतुलविक्रमे । निशुम्भे च महावीर्ये शेषाः पातालमाययुः

And after mighty Nishumbha, that fiercely powerful destroyer of the world, had also fallen, the remaining asuras departed to the netherworld.And after mighty Niśumbha, that fiercely powerful destroyer of the world, had also fallen, the remaining asuras departed to the netherworld.

Roman reading

jagadvidhvamsake tasminmahogre’tulavikrame | nishumbhe cha mahaaveerye sheshaah paataalamaayayuhjagadvidhvaṃsake tasminmahogre’tulavikrame | niśumbhe ca mahāvīrye śeṣāḥ pātālamāyayuḥ

Explanation

This completes the sentence of 12.34, emphasizing that the defeated hostile powers withdraw rather than being erased from existence. Pātāla is a named realm in Purāṇic cosmology; it should not automatically be translated as the theological “hell” of other traditions.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

यह पद 12.34 में आरम्भ हुआ वाक्य पूरा करता है। शत्रु-असुरों का बचा हुआ समूह पीछे हटता है, सर्वथा अस्तित्वहीन नहीं होता। ‘पाताल’ पुराण का विशिष्ट लोक है; इसे दूसरी धार्मिक परम्पराओं के ‘नरक’ के समान बिना विवेचन नहीं समझना चाहिए।

12.36

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

एवं भगवती देवी सा नित्यापि पुनः पुनः । सम्भूय कुरुते भूप जगतः परिपालनम्

Thus the Blessed Goddess, though eternal, appears again and again, O king, and protects the world.

Roman reading

evam bhagavatee devee saa nityaapi punah punah | sambhooya kurute bhoopa jagatah paripaalanamevaṃ bhagavatī devī sā nityāpi punaḥ punaḥ | sambhūya kurute bhūpa jagataḥ paripālanam

Explanation

Medhas turns from the single episode to the recurring activity of the Goddess. The apparent paradox—eternal yet appearing repeatedly—marks a theological difference between her underlying nature and her manifestations within time.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

मेधा ऋषि एक युद्ध से ऊपर उठकर देवी के बार-बार प्राकट्य का सिद्धान्त कहते हैं। ‘नित्य’ होते हुए ‘पुनः-पुनः प्रकट’ होना विरोधाभास नहीं: देवी के शाश्वत स्वरूप और काल में प्रकट होने वाले रूपों का अन्तर यहाँ महत्त्वपूर्ण है।

12.37

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

तयैतन्मोह्यते विश्वं सैव विश्वं प्रसूयते । सा याचिता च विज्ञानं तुष्टा ऋद्धिं प्रयच्छति

By her this universe is made subject to delusion; she herself brings the universe forth. When entreated and pleased, she grants true understanding and flourishing.

Roman reading

tayaitanmohyate vishvam saiva vishvam prasooyate | saa yaachitaa cha vijnaanam tushtaa riddhim prayachchhatitayaitanmohyate viśvaṃ saiva viśvaṃ prasūyate | sā yācitā ca vijñānaṃ tuṣṭā ṛddhiṃ prayacchati

Explanation

The Goddess is not portrayed only as a rescuer in battle: the verse unites cosmic manifestation, the power of bewilderment and the gift of knowledge. Vijñāna is deeper discernment or understanding in this context; ṛddhi points to prosperity or increase, and the precise relation merits theological review.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

देवी केवल युद्ध की रक्षिका नहीं हैं; इस श्लोक में जगत् का प्राकट्य, मोह की शक्ति तथा ज्ञान देने की क्षमता एक साथ आती है। ‘विज्ञान’ यहाँ सूक्ष्म बोध या तत्त्वसमझ है और ‘ऋद्धि’ उन्नति-समृद्धि; उनके सम्बन्ध की दार्शनिक व्याख्या विशेषज्ञ समीक्षा माँगती है।

12.38

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

व्याप्तं तयैतत्सकलं ब्रह्माण्डं मनुजेश्वर । महादेव्या महाकाली महामारीस्वरूपया

The whole cosmic egg is pervaded by her, O ruler of men: by the great Goddess, the great Kali, who also takes the form of the great dissolution or epidemic.The whole cosmic egg is pervaded by her, O ruler of men: by the great Goddess, the great Kālī, who also takes the form of the great dissolution or epidemic.

Roman reading

vyaaptam tayaitatsakalam brahmaandam manujeshvara | mahaadevyaa mahaakaalee mahaamaareesvaroopayaavyāptaṃ tayaitatsakalaṃ brahmāṇḍaṃ manujeśvara | mahādevyā mahākālī mahāmārīsvarūpayā

Explanation

The verse introduces Mahākālī and the formidable figure of Mahāmārī as cosmic powers. Mahāmārī can evoke widespread destruction or pestilence within the text’s theology; it should not be mistaken for a straightforward epidemiological diagnosis.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

इस पद में महाकाली और महामारि जैसे प्रचण्ड दैवी रूप सामने आते हैं। ‘महामारि’ का सम्बन्ध व्यापक विनाश या महामारी की धार्मिक कल्पना से हो सकता है; इसे किसी विशेष रोग की आधुनिक चिकित्सा-व्याख्या मानना गलत होगा।

12.39

Sage Medhas / मेधा ऋषि

सैव काले महामारी सैव सृष्टिर्भवत्यजा । स्थितिं करोति भूतानां सैव काले सनातनी

At the appointed time she is the great destroyer; unborn, she herself becomes creation. Eternal, she sustains beings at the proper time.

Roman reading

saiva kaale mahaamaaree saiva srishtirbhavatyajaa | sthitim karoti bhootaanaam saiva kaale sanaataneesaiva kāle mahāmārī saiva sṛṣṭirbhavatyajā | sthitiṃ karoti bhūtānāṃ saiva kāle sanātanī

Explanation

Creation, maintenance and dissolution are gathered into one Goddess rather than distributed among unrelated ultimate principles. The Sanskrit marks her as ajā, unborn: the language invites theological reflection on how an unoriginated reality manifests changing cosmic functions.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

सृष्टि, पालन और संहार को यहाँ एक ही देवी के कार्य बताया गया है। ‘अजा’ अर्थात् अजन्मा देवी के बदलते विश्व-कार्य का वर्णन दार्शनिक विचार को आमन्त्रित करता है: जो स्वयं जन्म से परे है, वही समयानुसार जगत् के रूपों में प्रकट होती है।

भवकाले नृणां सैव लक्ष्मीर्वृद्धिप्रदा गृहे । सैवाभावे तथालक्ष्मीर्विनाशायोपजायते

In times of flourishing she herself is Lakshmi, giving increase within people’s homes; in times of lack she appears as Alakshmi, associated with decline.In times of flourishing she herself is Lakṣmī, giving increase within people’s homes; in times of lack she appears as Alakṣmī, associated with decline.

Explanation

The paired names Lakshmi and Alakshmi frame abundance and scarcity as movements within the wider divine order. The text is explaining a cosmic duality, not judging the moral worth of people living in poverty or promising permanent wealth.

स्तुता सम्पूजिता पुष्पैर्गन्धधूपादिभिस्तथा । ददाति वित्तं पुत्रांश्च मतिं धर्मे गतिं शुभाम्

When praised and worshipped with flowers, fragrances, incense and other offerings, she grants wealth, children, understanding directed toward dharma, and an auspicious path.

Roman reading

stutaa sampoojitaa pushpairgandhadhoopaadibhistathaa | dadaati vittam putraamshcha matim dharme gatim shubhaamstutā sampūjitā puṣpairgandhadhūpādibhistathā | dadāti vittaṃ putrāṃśca matiṃ dharme gatiṃ śubhām

Explanation

The chapter ends with a customary description of devotional blessings. Especially important is the request for a mind inclined toward dharma, which joins practical well-being to ethical direction; the Sanskrit blessing is not a universal guarantee of fertility or financial success.

Other languages and readings

ShivGoraksh Simple Hindi Explanation

अध्याय का समापन उपासना के फल के पारम्परिक वर्णन से होता है। ‘धर्मे मति’ अर्थात् धर्मोन्मुख बुद्धि का उल्लेख जीवन की सुख-सुविधा को नैतिक दिशा से जोड़ता है। सन्तान-प्राप्ति या आर्थिक सफलता को सभी के लिए निश्चित परिणाम कहना पाठ की उचित प्रस्तुति नहीं होगी।
