Sri Durga Sapthasloki – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||









Lord Shiva speaks “ Oh! Devi, you are the cause for all the actions, kindly describe how to achieve devotion at your lotus feet in order to achieve good result from all the actions in this era of Kali.”


Devi replied “ Oh! Deva, kindly listen to me, with all my love to you I shall narrate you the glorious hymns of Goddess Amba which is capable to fulfill all the desires of the devotees in the era of Kali”


Duraga Sapthasloki is a sacred hymn by Narayana Rishi, it has Anushtup as Chandhass, it eulogizes the glories of prime deities Goddess Sri Mahakali, Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi and Goddess Sri Mahasaraswathi, it is recited to please Goddess Sri Durga.


Even the intellectuals becomes the victim to the great illusionist Mahamaya,  whoever venerates Goddess Sri Durga would be relieved from all kinds of fears, they remains peaceful and attain all the auspiciousness, she is the remover of poverty, miseries, and fears.  She is compassionate to her ardent devotees, I shall prostrate before Goddess Gauri who is personified as Narayani/consort of Narayana, she is Shivaa/consort of Lord Shiva, she showers all kinds of richness to her passionate devotees who are surrendered at her lotus feet, she is the safe haven to distressed people, and she has three eyes/Thrayambika.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Narayani who is the safest shelter for the distressed people who are surrendered at her lotus feet, she is the remover of sorrows and miseries.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Durga who has various incarnations, she is omnipresent, she is powerful, and she eradicates fears in her devotees.  Oh! Devi, Oh! Akhileshwari/Goddess of the Universe, kindly eradicate all the evil spirits in our lives and destroy our enemies, kindly protect us from all kinds of illnesses, kindly fulfills all our desires, I have no other shelter I shall  completely surrender to your lotus feet.
