Lalitha is the One Who Plays
Universe is Her play and
display
In the morn hours I meditate
on Her
On Her beauteous Lotus Face
With Nose shining like pearl
Eyes extending to ears
Wearing ear drops of gems
precious
Festooned with perfume
And whose smile is so subtle
!
Pratha Smarami Lalitha Vadanaravindam,
Bimbadaram pradhula maukthika shobhi nasam,
Aakarna deerga nayanam mani kundaladyam,
Mandasmitham mruga madojjwala phala desam
I pray to Her in the morn
Whose Hand is Abhaya Prada
Protecing, tutelary Deity
Wearing gems precious
Bangles golden with precious
gems
Holding a bow of flowers
She is unrivalled in Beauty
!
Prathar Bhajami Lalitha Bhuja kalpa vallim,
Rathnanguleeya lasathanguli pallavadyam,
Manikhya hema valayangadha Shobha maanam,
Pundreshu Chapa kusumeshu sruneen dadhanam
I bow before this Deity
Great
Her beauteous Lotus Face
Blessing her devotess
With their wishes sincere
The Boat divine to cross
this ocean
Of Samsar, of worldliness
Worshipped by celestials
Sitting in Padma Asana
The Lotus Posture
Holding Lotus, flag and goad
She is unrivalled in Majesty
!
Prathar namami lalitha charanaravindam,
Bhakteshta dana niratham bhava sindhu potham,
Padmasanadhi sura nayaka poojaneeyam,
Padmangusa dwaja sudarsana lanchanadyam

This Great Player of the
Universe
The Supreme Life Giver
Slayer of mortal arrogance
Her power and protection
Resides in the Vedas holy !
Resides in the Vedas holy !
Mercy Personified,
Auspicious, Pure
The Cause of Creation
Destruction and Sustenance
Transcending Scripture
Intellect, mind and senses !

Always in the morning
Mother of the Universe
Supreme Celestial Deity
The Goddess of Learning
Of Word, of language
As the Mother Divine
Of relative states triune
Waking, dreaming and
dreamless sleep
And as Fourth, Transcendence !
And as Fourth, Transcendence !
