Durga Saptashloki

ज्ञानिनामपि चेतांसि देवी भगवती हि सा । बलादाकृष्य मोहाय महामाया प्रयच्छति ॥ १ ॥

दुर्गे स्मृता हरसि भीतिमशेषजन्तोः स्वस्थैः स्मृता मतिमतीव शुभां ददासि । दारिद्र्यदुःखभयहारिणि का त्वदन्या सर्वोपकारकरणाय सदार्द्रचित्ता ॥ २ ॥

सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके । शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ३ ॥

शरणागतदीनार्तपरित्राणपरायणे । सर्वस्यार्तिहरे देवि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ४ ॥

सर्वस्वरूपे सर्वेशे सर्वशक्तिसमन्विते । भयेभ्यस्त्राहि नो देवि दुर्गे देवि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ५ ॥

रोगानशेषानपहंसि तुष्टा रुष्टा तु कामान् सकलानभीष्टान् । त्वामाश्रितानां न विपन्नराणां त्वामाश्रिता ह्याश्रयतां प्रयान्ति ॥ ६ ॥

सर्वाबाधाप्रशमनं त्रैलोक्यस्याखिलेश्वरि । एवमेव त्वया कार्यमस्मद्वैरिविनाशनम् ॥ ७ ॥

1. Even the minds of the wise are drawn by the Divine Mother, Mahamaya, and bound to delusion.

2. O Durga, when remembered you remove the fear of all beings; when remembered by the peaceful you grant a most auspicious mind. Remover of poverty, sorrow and fear, who but you is ever so tender-hearted to help all?

3. O auspiciousness of all that is auspicious, O Shiva, fulfiller of every aim, O refuge, three-eyed Gauri, Narayani, salutations to you.

4. O Narayani, intent on rescuing the refugee, the humble and the distressed, remover of everyone's suffering, salutations to you.

5. O you who are of the nature of all, the Lord of all, endowed with all powers: protect us from all fears, O Durga Devi, salutations to you.

6. When pleased you remove all diseases; when displeased you take away all desires. No calamity befalls those who take refuge in you, and those who take refuge in you become a refuge for others.

7. O Sovereign of the three worlds, in this very way remove all obstacles and quell our adversaries.
