Ashtapadi II - Srita Kamala 


Victory to Thee
Who adorns ear rings
And Tulsi garlands
Who delights
In the embrace
Of Goddess Lakshmi

Victory to Thee
Cause of Efflugence
In system solar
All afflictions worldly
Are dispelled by Thee
O Divine Swan
In the hearts of Sages
Blessed be Thy Form  !

Victory to Thee
Lord of Cosmos
Destroyer of Ego, Kaliya
With his seven hoods
Symbolising Seven Deadly Sins !
Glorifier of Yadu clan
As Sun delights lotus
Thou delighted them
Salutations to Thee !

O Destroyer of Madhu
Mura and Naraka
On Garuda bird
Thou makest everybody happy !
Victory to Thee !


O Lotus Eyed
Thou liberatest us
From fears worldly !
The Main Cause
Of the states triune
Dreaming,waking and dreamless sleep !
Victory to Thee !

Close to Seetha's bosom
Was Thou as Rama
Destroying wickedness
Thou destroyed
The ten vices
Symbolised as Ravana
Emblem of Ego
Victory to Thee !

Thou bore Mandara
Like bright cloud Thou art !
Thou enjoyest the beauty
Of Sree Devi !
Victory to Thee !

Thou art the bestower
Of Happiness Absolute !
I prostate
At Thy Feet Sacred !
Victory to Thee !

The poet Jayadeva
Has sung this poem
In praise of the Lord
Victory to Thee !
