Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Jai Ambey Ma !!
Great poet Kalidasa, a passionate
devotee of Goddess Sri Kali was born as unintelligent, later with the blessings
of Goddess Kali he turned into a renowned poet who composed various magnificent
verses praising the glories of Goddess Sri Kali in ‘Shyamala Dandakam’. His compositions are well-known for its
appropriate metaphors and they are Rithu Samharam
(description of six seasons such as Hemantha Rithu/Winter , Shishira Rithu/ Cold, Vasantha Rithu/Spring, Grishma Rithu/Hot,
Varsha Rithu/Rainy, Sharath Rithu/ Post-rainy season), Shakunthalam, Megha Sandhesham, Vikramorvashiyam, Kumara Sambhavam, Malakivagnimithram,
Raghuvamsam.
I meditate upon Goddess Sri Kali,
daughter of Sage Mathanga who plays gem studded divine string instrument/Veena,
who has dazzling features and nectar like mesmerizing speeches. My salutations to the Mother of the Universe
who has the complexion of saffron and attractive physical features and raised
bosom, holds flower, sugar cane, rope,
arrow, goad in her hands and wears crescent moon on her beautiful plait of
hair. Oh! Mother Mathangi, dear daughter
of Sage Mathanga who resides in the Kadamba forest shower your grace upon us. Victory to Mother Mathangi, daughter of Sage
Mathanga ! Victory to Mother who resembles the flower Neelothpala ! Victory to
Mother who enjoys all pieces of music! And
Victory to Mother who loves amusing parrots!
|| Dandakam ||
Victory to Janani, consort of
Lord Shiva who is worshipped by the entire Universe and its living beings,
resides in the Manidhvipa situated in the Kadamba forests coagulated with Vilva /Bale
trees which has the equivalent capabilities to fulfill the desires of the
worshipper like Kalpadhruma/Kalpakavruksha.
The daughter of Mount Himavan who is highly revered by the entire
Universe, extremely charming and has beautiful plait of hair embellished with
ornaments which has bluish black curls dancing to the tunes of soulful music
and shines in the brilliance of the crescent moon, she has the beautiful eye
brows resembles the flower arrow of Lord Kamadeva and nectar like her mellifluous
voice is capable to cool down the entire Universe. Rama/ Godess Sri Mahalakshmi, provider of
happiness to the whole world, wear beautiful musk on her forehead which
attracts the entire universe. She has
the mellowing voice of the divine instrument/Veena, whizzing of honey bees attracted
to the fragrances of musk applied on her neck, gem studded ornaments on her
body reveals the exquisite beauty of her physical features in the brilliance
which put shame to the crescent moon.
The mother of the Universe is worshipped by great Rishis & Sages; she
wears the ornament shaped palm leaves while playing the divine musical
instrument called Vallaki, her marvelous appearance with the bright red eyes
due to the consumption of nectar provides happiness, prosperity and capable to fulfill
all the desires of worshipper of Goddess Sri Kali who is the soul of the Universe. The beautiful nose ring of Goddess resembles
the trip down perspiration from her forehead; her gorgeous smile is prettier
than the Thamboolam/(pan/mixture of betel leaves with various fragrant spices) stands as the symbol of wisdom, wealth and the
lotus in her hand grants all the boon. She
has enthralling red lips like the Bimba fruit, her beautiful smile with the
dazzling teeth which has the resemblances of jasmine buds; her attractive hands
hold the divine instrument /Veena. She
is the personification of Art, she has stunning physical features and beautiful
long conch shaped neck shines in the brilliance of various gem studded
ornaments. She is worshipped by Yogis,
her beautiful long hands hold the lotus and arms are decorated with gem studded
ornaments which spread brilliance in the universe, she showers abundance of
mercy on her worshippers. The beautiful radiance
emanating from her represents ‘Chith’, attractive ear stud and various
ornaments on her fingers gives out the luster of moon. She holds the divine musical instrument on
her hand, the trivial bent on her back due to the heaviness of the large bosoms
reveals the humility in her and the various dazzling ornaments on her chest reveal
the ocean of her beauty, she blesses her devotees with abundance of wealth. She is worshipped by the all the three
worlds. She remains serene at all times,
her stunning physical features defeats Lord Manmatha in arousing passion, her enchanting waist belt studded with gem and
tiny bells defeat the beauty of lush valley of Mount Meru, her beautiful long legs resembles the trunk
of Palasa tree and has appealing feminine gait.
She is divine and unadulterated. Goddess Sri Parvati holds lotus flower in her
hand and her lotus feet shines in the brilliance emanating from the crown of
Lord Indra, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Lord Varuna, Lord Brahma, Lord Yama/Niryathi,
Lord Kubera/Vaishravana, Lord Vayu and Lord Agni. She is presided over the jeweled lotus, seated in
the majestic throne studded with nine precious gems. She is shining with everlasting youth surrounded
by Lord Ganesha, Goddess Durga, and eight Lord Bhairava. She is revered by the celestials Manjula and
Menaka, She is served by Lord Vamadeva & Goddess Durga, she is surrounded
by eight divine mothers/Sapthamathas, She is worshipped by Yaksha, Gandharvas
& Siddhas, Lord Manmatha & Goddess Sri Rathidevi, and she is the soul
of flower arrows of Lord Manmatha. She
is worshipped by the Sages from the beginning of the world; she is immensely pleased
by Vedic Chants, she bestows fame to her devotees, she is worshipped by Lord
Krishna, Lord Brahma and Vidhyadharas.
She is praised by Kinnaras with their soulful music of Veena and she is
worshipped by all the deities to get their wishes fulfilled. She is the personification of wisdom, meditates
with the crystal garland in one hand and sacred scriptures on the other, she
holds goad & rope provides wealth & happiness to her worshipper. Goddess Sri Parvati with the beautiful crescent
moon on her plait of hair seated on meditating posture, Goddess Sri Saraswathi
& Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi stands on her sideways to follow her orders.
My salutations to Mother of the
Universe, Goddess Sri Parvati who is presents in the form of sacred water, Vedic
chants, sacred symbols, female energy, seated on the sacred dais, beliefs,
wisdom/knowledge, Yogic practices, divine musical sounds, all pervading sounds,
universe and its division, she is the super soul of all souls which is omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent.
