Ashtadhasha Shakthipeeda Sthothram – Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall meditate upon Goddess Adishakthi  who is personified as Goddess Shankari in the city of Lanka, Goddess sri Kamakshi in Kanchipuram,  Goddess Shrinkhaladevi in Pradhyumna, Devi Chamunda in Kraunchapattanam/Mysore, Goddess Jogulamba in Alampur,  Goddess Sri Bhramarambika in Srishailam, Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi in Kolhapur, Goddess Ekaveerika in Mahur, Goddess Mahakali in Ujjain, Goddess Puruhuthika in Peethika, Goddess Sri Girija in Odhyana, Goddess Manikya in the Dhakshavatika/in the hermitage of Dhaksha, Goddess Kamaroopi in the shrine of Lord Hari, Goddess Sri Maheshvari in Prayag/Allahabad, she is  Jwala in Vaishnidevi, she is Mangalagauri in Gayakshethram, she is Vishalakshi in Varanasi/Kashikshethram, Goddess Saraswathi in Kashmir, these are famously known as Ashtadhasha Shakthipeedam which are difficult to access even for the Yogis, whoever reads or listens to it during the hours of dusk would get freed from the troubles of enemies, it cures all kinds of severe illnesses and it provides happiness and richness to the worshiper.



Lankayam Shankari Devi Kamakshi Kanchikapure | Pradhyumne Shrinkhala Devi Chamunda Kraunchapattane ||

Alampure Jogulamba Srishaile Bhramarambika | Kolhapure Mahalakshmi Mahurye Ekaveerika ||

Harikshethre Kamaroopi Prayage Madhaveshvari | Jwalyam Vaishnavidevi  Gaya Mangalyagaurika ||
