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, 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

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?

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

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
