A Microcosm's Prayer(Slokha) -43

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) 127 Thee who can read the mind's function Thee who knows its thoughts and desires Thee who knows the ilk of the mind So art thee known as Bavagna The ailment and the sufferings In the cycle of birth and death Thee who eradicates, so'rt thee Greatly called Bhava rogagni Yet thou'rt the causer who rotates The cycle of birth and death, so'rt Bhava Chakra Pravarthani Thou art the essence of vedas So art thee called Chanda sara Thee who's the essence of divine Laws and teachings of scriptures, so'rt Sasthra sara.Who's the essence And source of all mantras, so'rt thee Manthra sara.With slender waist And flat stomach thou art known as Thalodharee.Whose glory and Fame is very high and widespread So'rt thee called Udara keerthi Limitless thy prowess and flair So'rt thee Uddhhama vaibhava Namaste Mother namaste Divine Mother, unto thy feet This tiny droplet surrenders Rise my size within me, I watch 128 Thee who's the shape of alphabets Art so called Varna roopini Whose mercy appeases the pains Of birth, death and old age, so'rt thee Janma mrutyu jara thaptha jana vishranthi dhayini Whose supremacy is the One Whom all upanishads proclaim So'rt thee greatly known by the name Sarvopanisha dhudh gushta Thee who is greater transcending Even the state of peace, so'rt called Shantyathheetha kalathmika Fathomless and inscrutable Thou'rt so aptly called Gambheera Thee who pervades the endless space So art called Gagananthastha Thee who is the primeval 'I' Who's the sole causer of the whole So'rt fit to be proud of thyself So art thee known as Garvitha In harmony with all of Her Shaktis..who likes music so much Is so called Gana lolupaa Namaste Mother namaste Divine Mother, unto thy feet This tiny droplet surrenders Rise my size within me, I watch 129 Very much conscious thee who is Free from imagined attributes So'rt called Kalpana rahitha To gain mukti is to reach thee Thee who is the ultimate goal Art so aptly known as Kaashta Thee who rescues us from all sins Thee who wards off all sins from us Art rightly known as Akaantha So'rt thee all forms of all forces So'rt thee all gods and goddesses So'rt thine many names the bestest 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 The 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Note: Translation by Mr.P.R Ramachander Naamaas841-860 * 841 * Bavagna - She who understands wishes and thoughts * 842 * Bhava rokagni - She who cures the sin of birth * 843 * Bhava Chakra Pravarthani - She makes the wheel of birth rotate * 844 * Chanda sara - She who is the meaning of Vedas * 845 * Sasthra sara - She who is the meaning of Puranas(epics) * 846 * Manthra sara - She who is the meaning of Manthras (chants) * 847 * Thalodharee - She who has a small belly * 848 * Udara keerthi - She who has wide and tall fame * 849 * Uddhhama vaibhava - She who has immeasurable fame * 850 * Varna roopini - She who is personification of alphabets * 851 * Janma mrutyu jara thaptha jana vishranthi dhayini - 'She who is the panacea of ills of birth, death and aging' * 852 * Sarvopanisha dhudh gushta - She who is being loudly announced as the greatest by Upanishads * 853 * Shantyathheetha kalathmika - She who is a greater art than peace * 854 * Gambheera - She whose depth cannot be measured * 855 * Gagananthastha - She who is situated in the sky * 856 * Garvitha - She who is proud * 857 * Gana lolupa - She who likes songs * 858 * Kalpana rahitha - She who does not imagine * 859 * Kashta - She who is in the ultimate boundary * 860 * Akantha - She who removes sins
