1 Srutina magamye su veda gamajna Mahimno na jananti param tavamba; Stutim kartu micchami te tvam Bhavani ksama sveda-matra pramugdhah kilaham. 2 Gurus tvam Siva stvam ca Sakti stvameva Tvamevasi mata pita ca tvameva; Tvamevasi vidya tvamevasi bandhuh gatir me matir devi sarvam tvameva. 3 Saranye varenye su karunya murte Hiranyoda radyai raganye supunye; Bhavaranya bhitesca mam pahi bhadre Namaste namaste namaste Bhavani.

This hymn is a humble prayer to Goddess Bhavani, the Divine Mother who represents the supreme cosmic power and compassionate protector of the universe. The devotee begins by acknowledging that even the sacred scriptures such as the Vedas cannot fully comprehend or describe the limitless greatness of the Divine Mother. Despite this limitation, the devotee attempts to offer praise with sincerity and asks the Mother to forgive any shortcomings in the prayer. The hymn beautifully expresses the idea that the Divine Mother is everything for the devotee. She is the Guru who guides, Shiva the supreme consciousness, and Shakti the divine power. She is also the mother, father, knowledge, friend, and ultimate refuge. In every aspect of life—spiritual wisdom, protection, companionship, and guidance—the devotee sees only the presence of the Divine Mother. In the final verse, the Goddess is addressed as the one who grants refuge, the most excellent and compassionate embodiment of mercy and purity. The devotee, frightened by the dense forest of worldly existence filled with suffering and uncertainty, prays for her protection and grace. The hymn concludes with repeated salutations to Bhavani, expressing deep reverence and surrender. Chanting this hymn reminds devotees that the Divine Mother is the ultimate source of knowledge, protection, and liberation. Through sincere devotion and surrender to her grace, one can overcome fear, ignorance, and the hardships of worldly life.
