करुणा की सागर, ममता की मूरत। दुष्टों का संहारिणी, भक्तों की सूरत॥ अष्ट सिद्धि प्रदायिनी, शक्ति का अवतार। तेरी महिमा अपरंपार, हे जग का आधार॥

Karuna ki sagar, mamta ki murat. Dushton ka sanharini, bhakton ki surat. Ashta siddhi pradayini, Shakti ka avatar. Teri mahima aparampaar, hey jag ka adhaar.

Ocean of compassion, embodiment of motherly love. Destroyer of the wicked, the beautiful form for her devotees. Bestower of the eight siddhis (supernatural powers), the incarnation of Shakti. Your glory is infinite, O foundation of the universe.
Darshan Mahatmyam (The Significance of Vision)

दर्शन मात्र से मिटते क्लेश और भय। तेरी कृपा दृष्टि से मिटे सकल भय॥ मंदिर के द्वारे जो शीश झुकावे। जीवन के संकट वो पल में मिटावे॥

Darshan maatra se mitte klesh aur bhay. Teri kripa drishti se mite sakal bhay. Mandir ke dwaare jo sheesh jhukaave. Jeevan ke sankat vo pal mein mitaave.

Just by catching a glimpse of You, all sufferings and fears vanish. By Your glance of grace, all terror is destroyed. Whoever bows their head at the temple gates, their life's obstacles are removed in an instant.
Shakti Pooja (Ritual Worship)

पुष्प चंदन अर्पण, धूप दीप से वंदन। शक्ति स्वरूपिणी का पावन अभिनंदन॥ लाल चुनरिया, श्रृंगार अति प्यारा। भक्तों का जीवन करे तू उजियारा॥

Pushpa chandan arpan, dhoop deep se vandan. Shakti swaroopini ka paavan abhinandan. Laal chunariya, shringar ati pyaara. Bhakton ka jeevan kare tu ujiyaara.

Offering flowers and sandalwood, worship through incense and lamps. A holy greeting to the embodiment of Power. Clad in a red veil and beautiful adornments, You illuminate the lives of Your devotees.
Phalashruti (Benefits of Chanting)

जो भी माँ का ध्यान धरे, मन में विश्वास। पूर्ण होवे उसकी हर एक आस॥ शंकरी देवी की जो शरण में आए। भवसागर से मुक्ति वो पावे॥

Jo bhi Maa ka dhyan dhare, man mein vishwas. Poorn hove uski har ek aas. Shankari Devi ki jo sharan mein aaye. Bhavsagar se mukti vo paave.

Whoever meditates upon the Mother with faith in their heart, every desire of theirs shall be fulfilled. Whoever seeks refuge in Goddess Shankari shall attain liberation from the ocean of worldly existence.
