Devi/Sri Lalitha Pancharathnam by Sri Adishankaracharya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall meditate upon the lotus face of supreme Goddess Sri Lalitha during the early hours of morning, whose lips has the resemblance to Bimba fruits, her nose is decorated in precious gem studded nose pin, she has long beautiful eyes stretches up to ears that decked in gem studded ear rings, her lustrous forehead is decorated with vermilion and she has beautiful smile on her lips.  I shall meditate upon beautiful hands that resembles to Kalpavalli of Goddess Sri Lalitha in the early morning hours, she is decorated in various precious gems and ornaments on her hands, fingers, and shoulders which spread intense luster, and she carries Pundram, sugar cane as Chapam, Kusumam/flowers.  I shall meditate upon the lotus feet of Goddess Sri Lalitha in the early morning hours, she is enthusiastic to provide boons and fulfill the desires of her ardent devotees, she is the safest ferry to cross the unfathomable ocean of Samsara, she is worshiped by Lord Bhrama and deities, and she carries Padmam, Angusham, Dhvajam and Sudharshanam.  I shall meditate upon supreme Goddess Sri Lalitha who is the ocean of mercy, she is Parashiva/who provides auspiciousness to the whole world and consort of Lord Shiva, she is Lalitha and Bhavani as well, she is eulogized by Veda , she is the cause for the creation, preservation and destruction of the Universe, she is supreme Goddess of the Universe/Vishwehwari, she is not perceivable by mind.  Oh! Lalitha,  I shall recite your glorious names as Kameshwari/consort of Lord Kameshwara, Kamala/Consort of Lord Vishnu, Maheshwari/consort of Lord Maheshwara, Sri Shambavi, Janani, Paradevatha, Vagdevatha, Thripureshewari etc… in the early hours of morning.Whoever reads or listens to the glorious verses of Lalitha Pancharathnam in the early hours of morning, would be blessed with wisdom and knowledge, wealth, happiness and eternal fame.
