O! Mother, the icon of the race of the snow mountain! Where is the doubt that Your nose is the treasure house of pearls? The cool breath flowing out from the nose and the pearl nose ornament outside, are they not bearing enough evidence that it (the nose) contains pearls within? Let Your nose grant me and my people the imminent and appropriate fruits (reward). 61

O! Mother! Hiding Thy beautiful teeth, naturally red are Thy lips - May I dare to give an appropriate comparison! If the red coral (Pagadam) were to bear a fruit, that imaginary coral fruit may come nearer in comparison!  (Some may talk of the Bimba fruit). Nay, Bimba fruit is no match as its redness is only a vague reflection from Thy lips. Will it not be ashamed to be compared as equivalent? How can it enter into a beauty contest!  62

  O! Mother! The Chakora birds are constantly drinking fully the coolness of your smiling face (because it is sweeter than the moon light). With this extreme sweetness, their taste sense is blunted a bit. Desiring some change in taste and wanting some sour cereal (ganji) gruel therefore, they are now after the moon every night to freely drink the moon light.   63

O! Mother! Your tongue is red, of the colour of the hibiscus (japa /mandaara) flower. This is because of your incessant japa (prayer) enumerating the victorious virtues of Thy Husband. Seated on the tip of your tongue, the pure crystalline brilliant appearance of Goddess Saraswati is transformed into a ruby (manikyam) due to the redness of Thy tongue.  64

O! Mother! Visakha (Shanmukha), Indra, Upendra (Vishnu) and Sun (chandaamsa) after returning from battle, having won the demons, are looking fiery red with their wounded bodies, once they have removed their helmets and armour. As they didn’t get an ear in the serene and tranquil environs of Sada Siva, they came to you (to narrate their victorious deeds).

Your speech itself is so eloquent and musical that it has put to shame the melodious and sweet tones of Saraswati’s veena. She (to avoid further embarrassment), covers her veena out of sight with the free end of her saree. 66

Will we say it is repeatedly raised by Lord Siva, with the intent of passionate kissing! Will we call it as worthy enough of being held by the hand of Sambhu! Or will we simply say, it is the handle with which Your face, as a mirror, can be raised!  Absolutely beyond compare! (Perhaps these are the reasons for its indentation)     67

Below this is the simple necklace of pure innately white pearls, but soiled by the copious paste of the black (kala agaru) sandal perfume, bears the loveliness of the mud stricken lotus root. 68

O! Mother! Your four hands are tender, soft and gentle like the lotus stalks. Brahma praises the beauty of Your four slim creeper like hands, with his four remaining heads. He is afraid of the nails of Lord Siva, because his first head was destroyed by those nails. Hence, Brahma is praying to you seeking refuge to him (and to his four remaining heads) from fear, with your four protecting hands placed on his heads.  70

Sri Garbha Rakshambika Stotram



Sri Garbha Rakshambika Stotram
By Brahmasri Sengalipuram Anantha Rama Deekshithar

This prayer extols the Goddess Garbharakshambika of Thirukarukkavur which is 20 km from the town of Tanjore. The Goddess is believed to help save pregnancies of ladies. Recitation of this stotra along with the Garbha Raksha Stotra as prescribed  would help all lady devotes to get conceive and to have an easy and successful delivery. They are also requested to visit the mother in her temple and bring back the blessed oil from there, which they can apply on their stomach.

  This has been composed by one of the greatest scholars of the last generation who was an expert in Upanayasas about stories of all Gods. Sengalipuram Anantarama Dikshitar (2 August 1903 - 30 October 1969) was a ┼Ъrauti scholar and also was a great exponent of the art of upanyasas (discourses) on various subjects in Hinduism. Born in the Thanjavur district  of Tamil Naduas the first son to Sri Subramanya Dikshithar, boy Anantharaman was initiated into the learning of the Vedass under his father Subramanya Dikshithar who was also known as chinna Muthannaval brother of Sengalipuram VaidhyanathaDikshithar or Periya Muthannaval. After a very fruitful life , Sri Deekshithat took Apad Sanyasa and died. His Samadhi is inChinna Thiruppathi, Salem, Tamil Nadu.

 Sri Madhavi kananasye-Garbha,

Rakshambike pahi bhaktham sthuvantham.          (refrain-to be repeated after every sloka)            
In the forest of sacred jasmine, devotees pray,

Protect us Oh protector of pregnancy


 Vapi thate vama bhage, vama

Devasya devi sthidha thwam,

Manyaa varenyaa vadaanya, pahi,

Garbhasya janthun thadha bhktha lokaan.   1


 In the shore of the pond, you are ,

Situated on the left side of the God,

Oh respected goddess, Oh giver of boons,

Oh Goddess who speaks with grace,

Protect all animals and devotees during pregnancy.


Sri Garbha raksha pure yaa, divya,

Soundarya yuktha, sumangalya gathri,

Dhathree , janithri janaanaam , divya,

Roopaam Dhayardraam manognaam bhaje thaam.   2


Oh Goddess of the town of protection of pregnancy,

Who is blessed with divine beauty, who carries a good mangalya*,

Who gives every one  , who is the mother of all,

Who is pretty , who melts with mercy, I sing about you.

          *The mangal Suthra-It could also mean a god with blessed form
Aashada mase supunye, shukra,

Vaare sugandhena gandhena liptha ,

Divyambaraa kalpa veshaa, vaja,

In the month  of Ashada*, on Fridays,

You are  covered with scented sandal paste,

And dressed in divine cloths and offered,

By lucky devotees, the Vajapeya sacrifice.

     * July-August of the Souramana Hindu calendar



Kalyana dhathrim namasye , Vedi,

Kangcha Sthriyaa Garbha raksha kareem thwaam,

Baalai sada sevithaangri,Garbha

Rakshartha, maaraa dhupe thaiu pethaam.    4



I salute her who gives all that is good, who,

Protects Vedic pundits and pregnancy of women ,

For she always protects children in pregnancies,

When the delivery time comes very near for them.


Brahmothsava vipra veedhyaam , Vaadhya,

Gosheena thushtaam radhena sannivishtaam,

Sarvartha dhatrim bhajeham,, deva,

Vrundaira peedaayaam Jagan matharam thwam.    5


During the Brahmothsava *, along with sound of music,

Sitting on a chariot you go round the streets of Brahmins,

And I pray you ,who is the giver of all that is good,

 Who removes the problems of groups of gods,

And is the mother of the entire universe.

              *Annual festival


Yethad krutham stotra rathnam , Deekshitha,

Anantha ramena devyaa thustachyai,

Nithyam padethyasthu bhakthya , puthra,

Pothradhi bhagyam BHavethasya nithyam.    6


This jewel of prayer, composed by Anantha Rama Deekshithar,

For the sake of pleasing the goddess, If read daily with devotion,

Would lead to sons, grand sons and daily luck.


Ithi Brahma sri Anantharama Deekshitha virachitham

Garbha rakshambikaa stotram SAmpoornam.


Thus ends the prayer addressed to Garbha Rakshambika,

Composed by Sri Anantha rama deekshithar.

In these three colours, You bring us this pure confluence of the three holy rivers - the river Sona (red/ Saraswati), the Ganga (white) and the Yamuna (deep blue) in order to purify us. This is certain!  54

O! Mother! In your Mulaadhara chakra, I contemplate on the Samayaa (Ananda Bhairavi),
who is engrossed in the Lasya dance, along with Nava atman (Ananda Bhairava) dancing
the wonderful Siva Tandava dance filled with Nava rasas (nine different expressions of
mind). This world is no more an orphan as it has acquired the Father and the Mother in
You two. You are compassionate and have creation as your objective. 41

Here ends The Ananda Lahari, the first part of Soundarya Lahari, describing the
formless (Niraakaara roopam), the Bliss Absolute, the Supreme Power, The Adi Sakti.
The following verses describe the Eternal Beauty of the Mother as the form for worship
(Sakaara roopam). This description of the Eternal Mother is from top to toe, with
peerless poetic elegance and figurative beauty which can be experienced only by the one
of deep contemplation. The poet Sankara, comes with astounding descriptions of the
indescribable Almighty. May we submit our heartiest obeisance to this great master!

O! Mother! Pasupati has introduced into the world the sixty four (Maha maaya, Sambarya etc.,) spiritual disciplines (tantras), which are capable generating any desired result, each one giving a restricted fruit of its power. But, ordained by You, he caused this, Your spiritual discipline called Sri Vidya, which alone independently brings together as one, all the purushardhas or principal fulfillments of human life, to descend on to the earth. 31

Sree-dah - One who gives Sree to all His sincere and dedicated devotees. Narayana provides wealth, for all His ardent devotees. He is the River of Knowledge and Joy for all devoted hearts which are surrendered to Him.
Sreesah - The Lord of the Goddess of Wealth, Sree-Mahalakshmi. Her wealth is ‘the ability to nourish.’ Thus She gives to the striving devotee, the mighty and noble virtues, his inner wealth.
Sree-nivaasah - One who dwells and manifests in the good people. Here the word Sree is to be understood as “those who have Sree in them.” The One Who abides in purified hearts-wherein the passions and lusts have been removed and peace, joy, devotion and understanding have arrived. In such people the Self comes to shine all by Itself.
Sree-nidhih - One Who is the treasure- house (Nidhih) of Sree. Vishnu, being the All-Full and Perfect, all glories draw themselves from Him alone. Even Sree-Maayaa --can play Her games only when She draws Her vitality from Narayana, the Self.
Sree-bibhaavanah – “One Who is a Distributor of Sree.” Vishnu provides each, according to his merit, the wealth, both inner and outer. Sree Narayana is the Law behind actions and so He is the Dispenser of the fruits- of-actions.
Sree-dharah - Lord always carries Sree in His bosom. In short, Atman, the Self, is never divorced from Its omnipotence and All-Fullness.
Sree-karah - One Who confers Sree upon His devotees who remember Him continuously, reflect upon His nature and meditate upon His Glories.
Sreyah - Narayana is Moksha-Liberation. He is the Way and the Goal. He gives to His devotees the total liberation from all their physical passions, emotional agitations and intellectual restlessnesses.
Sreemaan – One Who possesses all Glories, Riches, Capacities and Beauties. He who is the owner of all Sree; the abode of all Its Splendour.
Lokatraya-asrayah - The Shelter for the three worlds. The Substratum for the three worlds-of-experiences (waking, dream and deep-sleep). If the Self, the Consciousness, were not in us, no experience would ever be ours. Narayana is this “objectless awareness.”

The Sri Chakra (the abode of the Sakti) has 44 angles with four Sri Kantha (Siva chakras)
and five Siva Yuvati (Other Sakti chakras), separate from the Siva chakras and these are
nine source materials for the universe. These are surrounded by the eight petalled lotus
(Asta dala padma), next by the sixteen petalled lotus. All these are in three circles
separated by the 3 lines. (Sree Sakti is the 1000 petalled lotus in the brain.)

O! Daughter of the snow mountain! The best of poets such as Virinchi (Brahma) and others are unable to compare, at least somehow or other, your beauty (with any thing they know of). Out of their ardent curiosity to witness your glory, the celestial women (apsaras) enter the Lord Siva’s mind through contemplation and total surrender. O! This experience is impossible even by any rigorous penance.

context, how can one (I) be capable of saluting or praising you without the meritorious
effects of (my) yester deeds? 01

Attracting the entire world:

taneeya amsam paamsum tavacharana pankaeruha bhavam
virinchis sanchinwan virachayati lokaan avikalan
vahatyaenam Saurih katham api sahasraena Sirasaam
harah samkshudwainam bhajati bhasmod doolana vidhim. 02

O! Bhagavati, Virinchi (the Creator) carefully gathers the minute dust from Thy
celebrated lotus feet to accomplish his creativity of all the worlds, without any hindrance.
Shouri (Vishnu) somehow manages to carry this dust on his thousand heads. Hara (Siva)
amalgamates this powder and observes the injunction for sprinkling it on Himself as the
sacred ash (vibhooti). 02

O! Mother! For the spiritually ignorant, engulfed by darkness, the dust of your lotus feet
is the shining Sun of an island city. For the dull witted, it is the flowing stream of honey
of the Kalpaka flower cluster, the pure intelligence. For those impoverished it is the
necklace granting all wealth like the Chintamani. For those immersed in the ocean of
samsara (births etc.,), it is the tusk of the savior Wild Boar (Varaaha Vishnu), the enemy
of Mura. 03<
The unparalleled power of Devi's feet - removal of fears and diseases:

twadanyah paanibhyaam abhaya varado daivata ganah
twam aekaa naiva asi prakatita vara abheety abhinayaa
bhayaat traatum daatum phalam api cha vaancaa samadhikam

Other than you, the assemblages of gods assure protection from fear and gesticulate this
by the Abhaya mudra (hand gesture). You alone do not display such gesture with your
hand of bestowing boon and protection from fear. Oh! Mother, the refuge for the worlds!
Indeed, your expert feet (you are ready to walk up to us) are good enough in offering
such protection and giving bountiful rewards much in excess than our desires. 04

The power of Devi Puja - the capacity to attract the opposite sex:

hari stwaam aaraadhya pranata jana soubhaagya jananeem
puraa naaree bhootwaa pura ripum api kshobha manayat;
smaropi twaam satwaa rati nayana laehyaena vapushaa

O! Mother, the very cause of auspiciousness to people who worship You, Once Sri Hari
having worshipped you, has become an astonishingly beautiful woman and agitated the
mind of even Lord Siva and stole his pride. Having bowed to you, Smara (cupid) too is
blessed with an eternally handsome appearance which is like a soothening liniment to the
eyes of his consort, Rati. With this appearance, he has indeed generated delusion within
hearts of even great sages. 05

The power of Her graceful look - to beget progeny: 

dhanuh poushpam mourwee madhu karamayee pancha visikhaah

O! Daughter of the snow mountain! What to say about your blessings! Manmadha’s bow
is sugarcane twig. Its string is made of bee line. His five arrows are flowers. Vasanta
(spring season) is his pal and companion. Gentle (Malaya) mountain breeze is his chariot
to wage his war. Thus, though all his instruments and associates are so inefficient,
Ananga (Manmadha) triumphs over this entire world. Isn’t because of the compassionate
glance from the corner of your eye? 06

Ability to see the Goddess - success over enemies:

Let the Divine Mother dwell intimately in our hearts …with her tinkling fillet girdle, Her
full bosom - akin to the frontal globes of a young elephant - making her bend forward
(reaching us), Her lean waist enhancing her beauty, Her face akin to the full autumnal
moon. She sports in her palms a bow and arrow, a noose and a goad. I revere this Divine
Mother who is the ‘I’ consciousness in the Lord, Parama Siva. 07

The abode of Devi - freedom from birth and death:

sudhaa sindhor madhyae sura vitapi vaatee parivritae

Only a few evolved souls are blessed to worship you Devi! O! the unending flood of
Eternal Bliss Absolute, You and Lord Siva sharing a same bed, with Siva himself as your
resting couch which is of the shape of a triangle (the Sakti triangle), in a house decorated
with several Chintamanis, possessed in the garden of Kadamba (kalpaka) trees, in the
vicinity of a park of celestial trees, in the midst of an island in the ocean of amrita
(ambrosia). 08

 Adhara chakras - long lost persons will return, attainment of eight types of wealth:

mind element between Thy brows (Thy immanent vision). Thus having passed through
all the Pancha (five) Bhootas (Gross Elements) and exhausting them in Thy path
(Kulapatha), You sport your creative activity in secret with your husband in the thousand
petalled lotus. 09

O! Mother! You infuse the whole universe with Amrita, drenching it in this torrential
stream (Amruta dhaara), which trickls from within your pair of feet. Once again, this
flow reaches your territory, after drenching the Moon - who is apparent essence of
Amrita. You pervade the Earth element in the form of Kundalini Sakti (Kula Kunda) by
making yourself into three and a half coils similar to a serpent, sleeping in it as
exceedingly subtle consciousness. 10

Maha Mrityunjaya Stotram for Health.


   This Stotram was said to have been written by Sage Markandeya after being saved by Lord Shiva (as Kala Samhara Murti). Lord Shiva saves Markandeya then a boy from the clutches of death/time (Yama/Kala).

"Rudram, pashupatim, sthanum, neelkantham, umapatim,
