A Microcosm's Prayer(Slokha) -15

Sloka, is the most common Sanskrit meter and is a descendant of the older Vedic gayatri The sloka, meaning 'song', although metric, is not considered poetic. It functions more as the equivalent to Western prose with lines and meter and is often used in narratives or epics. The defining features of the sloka are: stanzaic, written in any number of couplets made up of 2 hemistiches. The hemistiches can be broken into 4 lines or padas creating quatrains,4 lines or padas syllabic, either 2 lines of 16 syllables each or 4 hemistiches of 8 syllables each. metric, alternate hemistiches of trochaic and iambic patterns. The following verses are my own work, a prayer, based on the great slokha 'Lalitha Sahasranamam' where the meaningful thousand names of Adi Para Sakthi(primordial cosmic Energy) are narrated.These verses are not literal or exact translation of the slokha.But I referred to the translation of the great slokha by Mr.P. R. Ramachander (Please read the previous parts of this series before reading this) 43 Every glance thine when thee flash on Thee create the whole creation Every closing when thy eyes shut Thee destroy all the created So is thy powerful great name Unmesha nimishotpanna vipanna bhuvanavali Thou thousands of heads and faces Thou art aptly known by the name Sahasra sirsha vadana Thousands of eyes thine all around Thou art so called Sahasrakshi Thousands of feet thine in all move Thou art so called Sahasrapath Tiny worm to great Brahma all Thee their Mother, so art thee called Aabrahmakeeda janani The classes and stages of life And the order ordained by thee Aptly thou art known by the name Varnashrama vidhayini Whatever the vedas command It is thy command.Thou art so Nijangna roopa nigama Namaste Mother namaste Divine Mother, unto thy feet This tiny droplet surrenders Rise my size within me, I watch 44 Thee who is the cause of karma Thee who makes the whole reap and eat Good or bad, the fruit of karma Thee who's so known by the great name Punyapunya phala pradha As Vedamatha prostrates thee It's the dust of thy holy feet Stuck on her forehead as sindoor So art thee known by the great name Sruthi seemantha sindhoori kritha padabjha dhoolika The pearl in the shell of Vedas It's thee the essence of vedas So art thee known by the great name Sakalagama sandoha shukthi samputa maukthika Dharma, artha, kama, moksha Thee who bestows those four values Thou art Purushartha pradha Complete thee so art called Purna Who enjoys all pleasures and bliss Aptly thou art called Bhogini Who presides o'er the universe So art thee Bhuvaneshwari Namaste Mother namaste Divine Mother, unto thy feet This tiny droplet surrenders Rise my size within me, I watch 45 The Mother of the universe Thou art so known as Ambika Eternal without start and end Thou art Anadhinidhana Hari, Brahma and Indra pray So art thee known by the great name Hari brahmendra sevitha Thee who is like Narayana So'rt Narayani.Thou art sound Thou art Nadaroopa.Thee who's Without form or name, so art called Nama roopa vivarjitha Oh thee, divine our sweet Mother Thou art beautiful the bestest Thou art our brave queen the bestest Thou art our Wisdom the bestest Thou art our Strength sole the bestest The Support for mind the bestest The Support for life the bestest Thou art all Force the mightiest So to thee Mother, namaste The Power of all, namaste 9The causer of all, namaste Creatrix of all, namaste Namaste Mother namaste Divine Mother, unto thy feet This tiny droplet surrenders Rise my size within me, I watch -------------------------------- * 281 * Unmesha nimishotpanna vipanna bhuvanavali - She who creates and destroys the universe by opening and closing of her eye lids * 282 * Sahasra seersha vadana - She who has thousands of faces and heads * 283 * Saharakshi - She who has thousands of eyes * 284 * Sahasra path - She who has thousands of feet * 285 * Aabrahma keeda janani - She has created all beings from worm to Lord Brahma * 286 * Varnashrama vidhayini - She who created the four fold division of society * 287 * Nijangna roopa nigama - She who gave orders which are based on Vedas * 288 * Punyapunya phala pradha - She who gives compensation for sins and good deeds * 289 * Sruthi seemantha sindhoori kritha padabjha dhooliga - She whose dust from her lotus feet is the sindhoora fills up in the parting of the hair of the Vedic mother * 290 * Sakalagama sandoha shukthi samputa maukthika - She who is like the pearl in the pearl holding shell of Vedas * 291 * Purashartha pradha - 'She who gives us the purusharthas of Charity, assets, joy and moksha' * 292 * Poorna - She who is complete * 293 * Bhogini - She who enjoys pleasures * 294 * Bhuvaneshwari - She who is the Goddess presiding over the universe * 295 * Ambika - She who is the mother of the world * 296 * Anadhi nidhana - She who does not have either end or beginning * 297 * Hari brahmendra sevitha - 'She who is served by Gods like Vishnu, Indra and Brahma' * 298 * Naarayani - She who is like Narayana * 299 * Naada roopa - She who is the shape of music (sound) * 300 * Nama roopa vivarjitha - She who does not have either name or shape
