Full Lyrics

This page keeps the opening verified stotra block from SanskritDocuments and stays conservative about what it includes.

श्री भगवत्यै नमः ॥

भगवति भगवत्पदपङ्कजं भ्रमरभूतसुरासुरसेवितम् । सुजनमानसहंसपरिस्तुतं कमलयाऽमलया निभृतं भजे ॥ १॥

ते उभे अभिवन्देऽहं विघ्नेशकुलदैवते । नरनागाननस्त्वेको नरसिंह नमोऽस्तुते ॥ २॥

हरिगुरुपदपद्मं शुद्धपद्मेऽनुरागाद्- विगतपरमभागे सन्निधायादरेण । तदनुचरि करोमि प्रीतये भक्तिभाजां भगवति पदपद्मे पद्यपुष्पाञ्जलिं ते ॥ ३॥

केनैते रचिताः कुतो न निहिताः शुम्भादयो दुर्मदाः केनैते तव पालिता इति हि तत् प्रश्ने किमाचक्ष्महे । ब्रह्माद्या अपि शङ्किताः स्वविषये यस्याः प्रसादावधि प्रीता सा महिषासुरप्रमथिनी च्छिन्द्यादवद्यानि मे ॥ ४॥

पातु श्रीस्तु चतुर्भुजा किमु चतुर्बाहोर्महौजान्भुजान् धत्तेऽष्टादशधा हि कारणगुणाः कार्ये गुणारम्भकाः । सत्यं दिक्पतिदन्तिसङ्ख्यभुजभृच्छम्भुः स्वय्म्भूः स्वयं धामैकप्रतिपत्तये किमथवा पातुं दशाष्टौ दिशः ॥ ५॥

प्रीत्याऽष्टादशसंमितेषु युगपद्द्वीपेषु दातुं वरान् त्रातुं वा भयतो बिभर्षि भगवत्यष्टादशैतान् भुजान् । यद्वाऽष्टादशधा भुजांस्तु बिभृतः काली सरस्वत्युभे मीलित्वैकमिहानयोः प्रथयितुं सा त्वं रमे रक्ष माम् ॥ ६॥

छन्दः ॥

अयि गिरिनन्दिनि नन्दितमेदिनि विश्वविनोदिनि नन्दनुते (नन्दिनुते) गिरिवरविन्ध्यशिरोधिनिवासिनि विष्णुविलासिनि जिष्णुनुते । भगवति हे शितिकण्ठकुटुम्बिनि भूरिकुटुम्बिनि भूरिकृते जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते ॥ १॥ ॥ ७॥

सुरवरवर्षिणि दुर्धरधर्षिणि दुर्मुखमर्षिणि हर्षरते त्रिभुवनपोषिणि शङ्करतोषिणि किल्बिषमोषिणि घोषरते । दनुजनिरोषिणि दितिसुतरोषिणि दुर्मदशोषिणि सिन्धुसुते जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते ॥ २॥ ॥ ८॥

Meaning & Significance

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is a powerful Devi stotra that combines praise, ritual opening, and protective energy. The opening lines establish a worshipful frame before the familiar refrain begins. That sequence matters because the prayer is not only about glorifying the goddess. It is also about entering the right devotional posture before the verses build their force.

This page keeps only the opening verified block from the source. That makes it safer and more honest for readers who want a source-faithful devotional page rather than a guessed full transcript. The opening already carries enough weight to support chanting and reflection.

Readers often come to this stotram when they want a strong Devi prayer with a clear rhythmic structure. The repeated closing line gives the hymn momentum, while the opening salutations keep the mood reverent and grounded.

Pronunciation Notes

The chant should be read with a measured pace and clear pauses at the end of each verse. The rhythm matters because the stotram is built for recitation, not rushed reading.

If you are using the page on mobile, one verse at a time is the easiest way to follow the text. That keeps the devotional cadence steady and reduces the chance of losing your place.

About the Source

The SanskritDocuments page presents a longer stotra, but this page only uses the opening verified portion. That is intentional. A devotional lyrics page should not pretend to know the rest when it has not been checked.

The result is a conservative reading page that still feels useful. Readers can chant from it, learn the opening structure, and move to the longer source if they want more later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the full Mahishasura Mardini Stotram?

No. This page shows only the opening verified portion from the source so the text stays source-faithful and conservative.

Why is the page in Hindi if the source is Sanskrit?

The site uses hindi for Devanagari-script devotional pages when Sanskrit is presented in Hindi-script form. That keeps the content inside the supported validator options.

Can I use this for daily chanting?

Yes. The opening verses are suitable for daily devotional reading, especially if you want a strong short entry into Devi worship.
