27-SEP-ENG 4

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA--------------------------Like a fish without water,

So is the child struggling without a mother.

Hear the child's cries, Mother is running.

I too call out, Mother Kalika Bhavani,

Come and save my honor.

Like lightning in Aksava,

All the grass and straw turn to gold in a blink of an eye.

Your child, Mother, is facing troubles.

Come and help me, Mother.

Chand's head, blood-seeded buffalo, will die by giving me the fort.

Chand's pain is cut and chopped, Mother.

Just as a thousand stars shine in Aksava,

So Mother, take your immense beauty.

Nine Goddesses, nine Durgas, Mother, are worshipped.

I call you Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda.

I worship Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, Siddhadatri.

Kali Maa, the opened pot is in your hands.

Come with joy, Maa, challenge sorrow with gold in your chariot.

Who dares to stop Maa, you are in front of me.

Mai, with your head held high, Maa, swing your dagger.

I will cut off the heads of the warrior Daitvan.

Hanuman's flag is kidnapped, Baba Bhairava is taken, Maa, and you come.

Roaring, the tongue is dripping with blood, the enemy is spilling.

Kali, Maihar Maa, Sharda is attacking.

Vindhyachal Bhavani of Kamrup Kamakhya, Vindhyachal.

Sheetala Maa of Jaunpur, Maa Bhavani of Rahsu.

Bhagat Alha, the supreme swan of Rahsu, Maa, I will grant you the supreme position.

I worship your feet and may all of you become immortal.

With wide open eyes I saw your helpless devotee.

I will bring you fruits, flowers, coconuts and give it to you.

With folded hands I request you, Mother, please take your seat.
