Devi Bhujanga Sthothram by Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||













I shall meditate upon Goddess Devi who resides in the Sushmnatharalam with supreme brilliance, she explores through the Shadadhara Padamam, she immerses in the Sudhamandlam, and she is the personification of eternal bliss.   I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Bhavani who has the radiance of millions of Adithyas in the early morning hours and she has stunning physical features, she resides in the middle of triangle on Mahapadmam.  I shall meditate upon the lotus feet of Goddess Mahadevi who is  decked in magnificent anklets that produces melodious noises, her lotus feet spreads extreme  radiance due to the gem studded crown of the deities falls on her feet while they prostrate before her ,    it is smeared in crimson colored paste and it is worshiped by Lord Bhrama , Lord Vishnu and deities,  Oh Mahadevi, I shall place your lotus feet on my head.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Amba who is attired in majestic red silk garments, she is decked in gem studded waist belt that reveals supreme radiance on her waist areas, she has beautiful deep navel and sparkling line of hair on the belly.  Oh! Ambujakshi who has beautiful eyes resembles to lotus flower petals, Oh! Amba,  I shall meditate upon your large raised bosom resembles to gem decorated marvelous vessel, it has supreme luster and decked in various precious ornaments, and it has attractive tip.  I shall meditate upon the beautiful hands of Goddess Bhavani that has the luster of Girisha flowers, it holds bow, arrow, Pasham, Angusham etc… it is adorned in precious ornaments as Kanganam/bangles and armlets that keeps making clattering noises.  I shall meditate upon the lotus face of Goddess Sri Bhavani, she has beautiful nose, she has long and dazzling eyes resembles to the petals of lotus flower which fulfills all the desires and provide abundance of wealth to  her passionate devotees, she has lustrous forehead decorated in vermilion and sandal paste resembles to full moon.  I shall meditate upon the head of Goddess Sri Bhavani, she has long and beautiful curly hair locks decorated in fresh alluring flowers that attracts pack of honey bees, she is decked in crescent moon on the plait of hair.  Oh! Amba, Oh! Mother, I shall earnestly pray to permanently reside in my lotus like heart,  your lustrous and attractive form which is beyond description, which is not perceivable.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Rajarajeshwari who is the Goddess of the magnificent city of Thripura,  she is ShivA who symbolizes auspiciousness,  seated on the lap of Lord Shiva, she resides in the middle of divine Srichakra with numerous Shakthis who has various Siddhis, along with the Bhoothaganas.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Bhavani who symbolize Lord Soorya, Lord Agni, Lord Varuna, Lord Chandra, Lord Vayu and sky, she has supreme brilliance that illuminates the whole Universe, she is  eternal bliss.  Oh! Devi you are the female force of Lord Shiva, You have personified as Preceptor, you are Shakthi, you are the mother and father of the Universe, and you are my wisdom, relation, shelter, pride and everything.   Oh! Bhavani,  even Vedas and Puranas are incompetent to describe your splendor; I am yearning to eulogize your glories, though I am not incompetent to do it, Oh! Bhavani, kindly forgive me. I shall repeatedly prostrate before the lotus feet of Goddess Sri Bhavani, you are my safe haven, you are the provider of boons, you are the symbol of mercy, even the deities and Lord Bhrama are incompetent to describe your splendor, you are flawless. Oh! Bhadhre who symbolizes auspiciousness, kindly protect us from the sorrows and grief of alarming forest like worldly existence. Whoever pronounce the glorious name of Bhavani ! Bhavani ! Bhavani ! with intense faith and happiness would be freed from sorrow, miseries, sin, illnesses and untimely death.  Whoever recites or listens to the hymns of Bhavani Bhujanga Sthothram describing the splendor of Goddess Bhavani who  is eternal, she is the essence of Veda, with utmost faith and devotion would be blessed with highest of the merit,  worshiper would attain eternal fame and all their desires would be fulfilled.
