Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Goddess, who fought with many powerful wrestlers In the sport of battle and wiped out them with a mere Lift of Her eye brows, who dwells among flowery bowers And fragrant creepers of pepper, jasmines and madhavis, Who moves like a Swan among lotus beds and Lilly plants And who is as pretty as a full blown lotus-flower at sunrise! Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Great Queen, who has troupes of rutty elephants With copious flows of ichor to trounce the enemies, In battle field, who is the daughter of the milk-ocean, From where the beautiful moon has taken his birth, O Goddess who is worshiped by the God of love Who fills the minds of pretty ladies with desire! Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Devi, whose forehead shines like the half moon Spreading cool rays of pure and white lotus petals; O Mother, who sports like a white swan in the lakes Of the hearts of devotees as an epitome of fine arts, Whose coiffure is swarmed by humming black bees, As if they are crowded on the beds of blue lotuses, Be victorious! Be victorious! O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Goddess with sweet tender thoughts, Whose enchanting lute music puts the sweet, Voiced nightingales to shame, who dwells In the mountain groves, pleasant and beautiful Resounding with the voices of the tribal folk; Whose meadows are filled with tribal maidens Sweetly singing and beautifully dancing, Be victorious!

Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Mother, who is as refulgent as thousand Nectarine Moons, whose splendor defeats The thousand rayed Sun, who was praised By demon Tharaka after his defeat in the hands Of Her son; who is attended by Her sons Ganesha And Kumara, the lords of the sky and divine forces And who dwells in the mind-lotus of Lord Shiva, Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Goddess Durga, whose lotus like tender feet are The veritable storehouse of mercy and perennial source Of divine wealth and prosperity; what desire is there That can not be achieved by falling at Your lotus feet? O Mother, who exists in my heart-lotus, what is there That I will not get if I take refuge at Your lotus feet? Be pleased to grant me devotion and concentration So that, I will meditate everyday on Your lotus feet, Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ O Mother Divine, who ever sprinkles pure water, Mixed with honey of devotion taken in a golden pot On Your golden person in the temple of His heart, O Devi, he will get same pleasure like Indra in heaven When he embraces his high breasted queen Indrani, Hence I take refuge in Thy lotus feet which can unite Me with Shiva, the great lord of bliss-consciousness, Be victorious! Be victorious, O Slayer of demon Mahishasur, O Daughter of the Himalayan With beautiful braided hair! ~*~ May You shower some mercy on us weak souls, With just a fleeting glance of Your merciful eyes, You are the most merciful Mother of the universe As You are the ocean of compassion, be pleased To grant me liberation from the misery of the world And do not reject my prayer even if it is improper, But be pleased to drive away all my sorrows, Be victorious!
