Nithya Sthothrani - Lyrics and meanings 21 - 25

|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

I shall prostrate before Goddess Durga who is the mother of the Universe, she is the slayer of demons Madhu and Kaidaba, Dhoomralochana and Chanda Mundasura as well.  She is the slayer of the pride of demons Rakthabeeja, Shumbha and Nishumbha.   I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Goddess Durga who has eight hands, she is the slayer of demon Mahisha, she is wielded in Shankha/conch, Chakra/wheel, arrows and trident, and she dwells in the hearts of Yogis.

Whoever meditates upon Goddess Durga would remain fearless and peaceful with all the auspiciousness, even the intellectual’s falls prey to illusion, she eradicates poverty, miseries and sorrows; she is compassionate to the distressed people.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Narayani who is the symbol of auspiciousness, she is Shivaa, she fulfils all the desires of the worshiper, and therefore I shall surrender at the lotus feet of Thrayambika who has three eyes.   I shall prostrate before Goddess Narayani, she is the safe haven of the distressed people who are surrendered to her lotus feet, and she destroys the worldly bondage of her passionate devotees.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Durga who dwells in all living beings, she is powerful and remover the fear of her devotees.  I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Durga to destroy all the perils, enemies, illnesses and worldly bondages, Oh! Akileshwari/Goddess of the Universe kindly fulfills all our desires and you are the safest haven for us.  Oh! Parameshwari kindly bless us with long life, wealth and intelligence, Oh! Maheshwari, kindly shower all kinds of auspiciousness to us.

Soundarya Lahari –

Lord Shiva remains powerless and motionless in the absence of Goddess Sri Shakthi, therefore veneration or recitation becomes fruitless, so the celestial couples are worshiped by Lord Hari, Lord Hara and Lord Bhrama.
