She is beautiful to the seeker of truth
Terrible to those who injure
Devotees of truth
~
HUMBLE HYMN O’ DURGA DIVINE
~
I bow to thee
& why not?
Thee, who art good & in whom one takes refuge
~
Ye are the nectar of immortality
Oh eternal
& imperishable One
~
Ye are
The embodiment of the
Om sound
~
Ye are verily that which cannot be
Uttered
Specifically
~
Ye are the
Supreme empress
Of all devas
~
By you this universe is born
By you this universe is created
By you it is protected
~
Oh ye who are the template of the whole world
Ye are the creative force
Ye are the protective power
~
And at the time of the dissolution
Of the world
Ye are the destructive power
~
Ye are the supreme knowledge
The great intellect
& contemplation
~
Also ye are the great delusion
The great goddess
The great daemonette
~
Ye are the primordial
Cause
Of everything
~
Ye are the dark might & dark night
Of periodic & final dissolution &
The terrible night of delusion
~
Ye are the goddess, the ruler of
Modesty
Bashfulness
~
Contentment
Tranquility
Forbearance
~
Armed with sword, spear, club
discus, conch, bow & arrows, Slings & mace
You are terrible
~
And at the same time pleasing
Ye are more pleasing than all pleasing things
And exceedingly beautiful
~
Ye are indeed
La Supreme Durga
Beyond high & low
~
And whatever or wherever a thing exists
Real or unreal
Whatever power there is in it, is possessed by You
~
Oh you who are the soul of everything
How can I
Extol you more than this
?
~
Oh queen of all
I bow to thee again
& again
~
Oh Durga indomitable
Devi devine
Please save us from error
~
Amen & Hallelujah
~
