Durga-Krishna Das

Durga - Krishna Das 1. Jaya jaya Giribararaaja kishori/ Jaya mahesha mukha chanda chakori Jaya gajabadana khadaanana maataa/ Jagata janani daamini duti gaataa Glory to you O Daughter of the Mountain Who looks upon Lord Shiva as a partridge on the moon. Ganesh and Kartikeya are not your only children, For you are the shining Mother of all of the creation. 2. Nahin taba aadi madya awasana/ Amita prabaau bedu nahin jaana Bhava bhava bibhava paraabhava kaarini/ Bishwa bimohani swabasa bihaarini You have always been and will exist for eternity Even the Vedas cannot fathom your depths completely You are the cause of all existence and its final dissolution You are the Ultimate enticer, playing with all creation 3. Sewata tohi sulabha phala chaari/ Baradaayanee tripuraari piyaaree Devi pooji pada kamala tumhaare/ Sura nara muni saba hohin sukhaare O Grantor of all wishes, divine partner of the Lord Serving you leads us to life's greatest rewards O Devi, gods, humans, and sages are bow at your lotus feet And in doing so they easily gain all that they truly seek 4. Mora manoratha jaanahun neeken/ Basahu sadaa ura pura sabahee ken Keenhe-un pragata na kaarana teheen/ Asa kahi charana gahe baidehin You know the deepest desires that reside in my heart Because within that abode we are never ever apart It is because of this that I never spoke my thoughts Saying so, the divine Sita bowed to her sacred feet 5. Vinaya prema basa bha-i Bhavaanee/ Khasi maala murati musukaanee Saadara siyan prasaadu sira dhareu/ Bolee gauri harashu hiyan bhare-u In Sita's love and devotion, the Goddess was absorbed Then she dropped a flower lei as her image sweetly smiled Sita took the gift and placed it around her neck Parvati's hearted filled with joy and happiness, she spoke: 6. Sunu siya satya aseesa hamaari/ Puji hi mana kaamanaa tumhaaree Naarada bachana sadaa suchi saachaa/ So baru milihi jaahin manu raachaa "Hey Sita, listen to my blessing and then be assured Your deep inner desire will surely be fulfilled The words spoken by Narada are always pure and true He whom you desire will become your husband
