Chapter – 7 – Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Prayer to Lord Mahadeva & Goddess Bhavani

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Umakantha, you have created a beautiful forest, Devi Parvathi who is your Ardhangini incarnated as Vasantharithu in the forest to have a glimpse of you. Oh! Bhagavan, the luster of your attractive body resembles the garland of Champapusha, and your bluish throat has the appearance of Thamalapathra, the beautiful Jangha/thigh has the appearance of plantain Vruksha, and the feet has the luster of a red lotus flower, the great physique resembles a lion, and your majestic movements resembles a swan. Oh! Bhagavan, you have adorned in exquisite ornaments and flowers, the magnificent Noopura and Kinkini make jingling noises resemble the sounds of birds.  You have attractive shoulders, arms, and chest, you have wide and beautiful eyes that resemble a blue lotus, are decorated in black ink. You have a pleasant lotus-like face, and an attractive smile, the melodious speeches resemble cuckoo, and the sparkling beautiful line of teeth resembles white flowers. Oh! Bhagavan, you are wisdom personified, I am tormented by the cupid arrows of Kamadeva, kindly destroy the interest in worldly matters, impurities, lust, and desires in me, so that I could witness the perpetual presence of Sukhaswaroopa Sacchidhanandha Paramathma Lord Sri Rama in my heart.”

 

Devi Sthuthi –

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Devi, you are the destroyer of grief, agonies, and sins, kindly shower your kindness upon me. You are the root of the Bhramanda, you are the creator of all the living and non-living things, you are most promising to your devotees, holds powerful trident to destroy the enemies, and you are that Avyakritha Prakrithi who is inseparable from the indestructible Purusha. Oh! Devi, your attractive limbs resemble lightning, you are attired in majestic garments, and adorned in exquisite ornaments. Your attractive dark blue eyes resemble the antelope, you have a beautiful lustrous face that resembles the full moon, and you excel the beauty of the crores of Devi Rathi and Kamadeva. Oh! Devi, your virtues, loveliness, are beyond words, you are dreadful to wicked enemies and highly propitious and benevolent to noble. Oh! Jagathjanani, you are Lakshmi who symbolizes wealth, you are Saraswathi who symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, and You are Parvathi who is the mother of the Universe.  Oh! Devi, you are the mother of Lord Karthikeya and Lord Ganesha, and you are the Grihani of Lord Mahadeva. Oh! Hail Bhavani!  Hail Bhavani! Hail Bhavani! You are the destroyer of the demons Chanda and Munda, you are the slayer of demon Mahishasura, you have sieved off the limbs of Munda and crushed his pride. You are that ferocious lion who fought against the haughty elephant-like demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, you push down the demons into the Krodharoopi ocean. Oh! Devi, you are eulogized by Veda, Shastra and the thousand-tongue of Adhishesha, even after all these, they are finding it difficult to describe your splendor. Oh! Matha, kindly provide me intense devotion and dedication at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, like the Chathaka birds longing for the rain clouds.”
