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 Śrauti 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.

For she always protects children in pregnancies,

When the delivery time comes very near for them.

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.

O! Mother! Thy looks are the Nava rasas. They are full of love upon Siva, filled with pity and empathy towards other beings, exceedingly contemptuous on enemies, filled with jealousy and anger towards Ganga, full of amazement while (hearing about) Lord Siva’s greatness, frightened when looking at the serpents on Hara, beautiful while imparting the charm to the lotuses, smiling towards Thy friends and finally they are very compassionate upon me. 51

 Victory in love, ear and eye diseases cured

  O! Bhagavati, Aren’t You the best floral decoration of Himavat Parvata’s family! These eyes of yours are wide enough to reach Thy ears, are further glorified by feathery (smooth and thick rows) eye lashes. It is no wonder if Your eyes have stolen the calm and quiet mind of Lord Siva (the annihilator of Tripura asura). Stretched up to the ears they impart the graceful sharpness to the arrows of Manmadha to defeat Siva. 52

Attracting the whole world, Goddess appearing in person

O! Mother, the darling of Lord Siva! Thy three eyes   decorated by beautifying black paste on the lid margins show a combination of three separate colours – red, white and black, as if bearing the three Gunas namely rajas, satvam and tamas, to recreate the Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra, who have ceased to exist.  53

O! Mother, with your heart surrendered to Pasupati! Thy looks endowed with kindness are gentle and pleasing. They glorify the three colours red, white and deep blue. 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, the daughter of the royal mountain! Good men assert that the world proceeds to annihilation and creation on the closing and opening of your eye lids. I imagine that your eyes have abandoned closing the eye lids, in order to protect, from annihilation, this entire world born upon opening of your eye lids. 55

O Aparna! Parvati! It is certain that the glittering female (safarika) fish ever hide in the water with unblinking eyes, afraid of slanderous complaints (that the fish have stolen the unblinking and glistening nature from your eyes) whispered in to thy ears, by your eyes. And look at this - the goddess of beauty abandons the blue water lily flowers with their petals doors closed at dawn, and enters them having opened the petal doors at night (The Goddess beauty resides in the eyes of Mother during day and in the lily at night). 56

All round prosperity; relief from problems

O Sivae! Please bathe me, this poor and far removed devotee, with Thy compassionate, merciful and protracted look - with the beauty of a slightly blossomed blue lotus. I will be blessed with all prosperity by this look and do not loose any thing by such a gesture.   Isn’t the moon shining equally in the forest as well as on the (kings) palace? (I know you don’t discriminate me.)   57

O! The daughter of the mountain king! Who will not believe vehemently that the curved temple region of yours (in front of the ears) is the bow of Manmadha? - wherein the attention of the corner of the eye, having passed through the reach of   the ears and going beyond, glittering, makes one understand it as the arrow mounted on the bow. 58

Winning over everybody:

O! Mother! I imagine the face of Yours with the pair of round ear   ornaments reflected on Your glossy, shining cheeks is the four   wheeled chariot of Manmadha. Having embarked on it (Your face as the chariot), the great warrior Manmadha, seeks to triumph Lord Siva armed with the earth as a chariot of two wheels namely the Sun and Moon. (It is no strange if Manmadha wins over this war with Your face as his chariot.)  59

O! Mother, Sarvani! Goddess Saraswati, while continuously listening to you profoundly, (drinking by the cups of the ears) your excellent speech - which is capable of depriving the charm and felicity of the flow of Amrita - she is nodding her head in praise of the poetical charm. This causes the groups of her ear ornaments give jingling musical sound as if trying to reply to you. 60

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 the daughter of the snow mountain! O Mother! Which ever poet describes your golden

decorated on your crown is in itself the rainbow, reflecting the variegated colours due to
the lustre of the celestial orbs? 42

O! Sivae! Resembling the cluster of fully bloomed blue lotuses or the dense blue-black
clouds- very soft, silky, fragrant and glossy- is your hair style. Its darkness must
annihilate the darkness in our hearts. I think; to steal some of the natural fragrance from
your hair, all the divine flowers (parijata) in the celebrated garden of Indra, ever cherish
to dwell in your hair. 43

O! Mother! The mid partition line in your dense hair style, simulating a rivulet
overflowing from the ocean of your beautiful face, is decorated with the sindhooram
(vermillion powder). It is akin to the early morning rays of the Sun (Arunodaya); this Sun
appears, as if, captured by a group of enemies called darkness which is your dense mass
of hair. Let this charm grant us all wellbeing! 44

O! Mother! Your lotus face is covered by your naturally curly hair and thus resembles the
beauty of dark bee lines swarming a lotus; Is it not ridiculing the so called beauty of any
red lotus? You graceful face is further glorified by your slight smile with the glitter of
Thy teeth as the glistening lotus filaments. O! What to say! Lord Parama Siva has
annihilated Manmadha with his looks, but is intoxicated in ever rejoicing with the beeline
of his looks in Thy fragrant lotus face. 45

with your jet black beautiful eyes like the bee line string, fixed as bow string. This is, as
if Manmadha has grasped this bow with his left hand and hence the middle part of the
bow is hidden by his fist and that of the bow string by his fore arm. 47

O! Bhagavati! Your ears relish the honey from the flower bouquet like nectarine poetry
of the great poets. Your bee-like black eyes, ever close to Your ears (means wide eyes),
are always fond of drinking Nava Rasas (Sringara etc.) in such poetry. The third eye on
your fore head (being not in contact with the ears), is perhaps taken over by envy and so
is slightly red in colour. 50
