Invocation to Mother Durga

Sthai

Durge jagat maataa (repeat)
Devi dayaa karo
Durge . . .

Antara

Tumhi brahmaani
Tumhi shivaani
Tumhi dayaani
Sakal jagat ke
Kuhsht haro maataa
Durge . . .

Translation

Sthai

Oh Durga, mother of the universe
Oh goddess, be merciful
Oh Durga . . .

Antara

You (indeed) are the creator (“Brahma-like”)
You (indeed) are the destroyer (“Shiva-like”)
You (indeed) are the merciful one
Remove all the sufferings of the universe, oh Mother
Oh Durga . . .
