nmae m=glayEOm. Reverent salutations to Mangal,

the Auspicious Goddess.

sitatara-sa vid-av pya sad-asat-kalan -vih nam anup dhi | jayati jagat-traya-r pa n r pa devi te r pam || 1 ||

O Goddess! Supreme is your nature that is formless yet has the form of all three worlds. It is prior to all limitations, impossible to grasp through dualistic categories such existent versus non-existent, and is attainable through the purest Consciousness.

ekam anek k ra pras ta-jagad-vy pti vik ti-parih nam | jayati tav dvaya-r pa vimalam ala cita-svar p khy m | 2 |

Your completely pure non-dual form is supreme: One, yet existing in many guises, pervading the universe that is flowing within you, yet entirely free from changeknown as the very essence of Consciousness.

jayati tavocchalad anta svacchecchay svavigraha-graha am | kimapi niruttara-sahaja-svar pa-sa vit-prak a-mayam || 3 ||

Your act of taking on form is also supreme, bursting forth within through your own pure Will. It is an extraordinary act consisting of nothing other than the Light of Consciousness in its unsurpassable and spontaneous essentiality.

v ntv samasta-k la m rty ha k ra-ghora-m rtim api | nigraham asmin k tv nugraham api kurvat jayasi | | 4 ||

Having caused all Time to be emitted, even your terrifying incarnation as the embodied ego, (then) having occluded it, you (go on) bestowing grace as well. You are triumphant!

k lasya k li deha vibhajya muni-paca-sa khyay bhinnam | svasmin vir jam na tad r pa kurvat jayasi || 5 ||

O K l , having divided the body of Time into five and seven, you continually make that very nature shine undivided within yourself: you are supreme!

bhairava-r p k la s jati jagat k ra di k nta |

icch -va ena yasy s tva stavan mbik jayasi ||6||

Time, in the form of Bhairava, emits the universe of cause and effect, down to the tiniest insect, through the force of Your Will -- You, the Mother we praise, are supreme!

jayati a ka-div kara-p vaka-dh ma-tray ntara-vy pi | janani tava kimapi vimala svar pa-r pa para dh ma ||7||

O Mother, your extraordinary, stainless highest Radiance is supreme. It is your essential nature, pervading from within the three lightsthe Hare-marked One [Moon, perceived], the Day-maker [Sun, perception], and the Purifier [Fire, perceiver].

eka svar pa-r pa prasara-sthiti-vilaya-bhedatas trividham | pratyekam udaya-sa sthiti-laya-vi ramata caturvidha tad api ||8||

Your essential nature is One, yet three-fold, divided into emission, stasis, and dissolution, each with the four aspects of emergence, stasis, dissolution, and repose [= 12 + 1].

iti vasu-pacaka-sa khya vidh ya sahaja-svar pam tm yam | vi va-vivart varta-pravartaka jayati te r pam ||9||

That aspect of you is supreme that divides your natural essentiality into the sum of 8 and 5, (by which) you catalyze the revolution of your transformation into the universe.

sad-asad-vibheda-s ter ddalana-par k pi sahaja-samvitti | udit tvam eva bhagavati jayasi jay dyena r pe a || 10 ||

The extraordinary, spontaneous, innate awarenessintent only on shattering whatever has been born from the apparent duality of 'existence' and 'non-existence'is taught (in the scriptures) as You alone in your Primordial Form, O Blessed Goddess. Hail, for you are supreme!

jayati samasta-car cara-vicitra-vi va-prapaca-racanormmi | amala-svabh va-jaladhau nta k nta co te r pa ||11||

Supreme is your beloved peaceful form, which accomplishes the expansion of the beautifully diversified universe of all moving and unmoving beingsyet is but a wave in the ocean of your own pure Being.

sahajoll sa-vik sa-prap rit e a-vi va-vibhavai | p r tav mba m rttir jayati par nanda-sa p r || 12 ||

O Mother, your fully expanded embodiment is supreme, this majestic glory of the entire universe, filled with the blossoming of spontaneous, playful delight,1 completely full with the highest bliss!

kavalita-sakala-jagat-traya-vika a-mah k la-kavalanodyukt | upabhukta-bh va-vibhava-prabhav pi k odar jayasi || 13 ||

You are engaged in devouring the terrifying Great Time which is gorged on the sum total of the three worlds [SDV]; You remain transcendent [/slender-waisted], though You have consumed the source of power of all beings/objects: you are supreme!

r pa-traya-parivarjjitam asama r pa-tray ntara-vy pi | anubhava-r pa ar pa jayati para kimapi te r pa || 14 || Your extraordinary highest form is supreme: formless yet the form of every direct experience, unequalled, pervading from within the three aspects (of consciousness: perceiver, perception, perceived), yet transcending the three aspects.

avyayam akulam ameya vigalita-sad-asad-viveka-kallola | jayati prak a-vibhava-sph ta devy para dh ma || 15 ||

Imperishable, transcendent, immeasurable, a wave of differentiation between existent and nonexistent that has melted away: the highest Radiance of the Goddess is supreme, saturated with the pervasive power of the Light of Consciousness.

tu-muni-sa khya r pam vibhajya paca-prak ram ekaikam | divyaugham udgirant jayati jagatt ri janan || 16 ||

Dividing each of her forms, reckoned as the sum of the seasons and the sages [6 + 7 = 13] into five-fold [= 65, 64 Siddh s and Ma gal at the center], and thus pouring forth the Divine Multitude: the Mother, Savior of the World, is supreme!

bh -dig-go-kha-ga-dev -cakra-lasaj-j na-vibhava-parip r am | nirupama-vi r nti-maya r p ha jayati te r pam || 17 ||

Your form as the Sacred Throne [ r p ha] is supreme, completely full

1 Or joyful manifestation.

with the power of wisdom scintillating as the circles of goddesses in the Earth, the Sky [/Directions], the Senses, and the Void, and ultimately consisting of the incomparable state of Repose (in the ground of Consciousness).

pralaya-lay ntara-bh mau vilasita-sad-asat-prapaca-parih n m | dev niruttaratar naumi sad sarvata praka m || 18 ||

I praise the utterly transcendent Goddess, on the level within which dissolution itself is completely dissolved, she who is totally free of the expansion of existence and nonexistence that she has playfully brought into being, yet who is clearly manifest everywhere at all times.

y d mah ma ne d a devy svar pam akulastham | t d g jagattrayam ida bhavatu tav mba pras dena || 19 ||

Through your grace, O Mother, may the triple world realize the essence of Goddess, within the transcendent (Void), just as I experienced Her in the Great Cremation Ground.

ittha svar pa-stutir abhyadh yi samyak-sam ve a-da -va ena | may iven stu iv ya samya mamaiva vi vasya tu ma gal khye || 20 ||

Thus, this hymn of the Essence (of Reality) is sung by me, iva, under the influence of my state of true Immersion (in Him/It). O Goddess called Auspiciousness/Beneficent [Mangal ], may it bless the whole world that is truly my Self alone.
