Victory to you, O primordial source of all beings ! Victory to you, O formidable looking goddess, who are renowned as the very mother of the world ! Victory, all victory to you, O great goddess Mahakalika, of terrible and frightening aspect ! Victory to you, O Moon on the locks of Siva, who are ever adored by gods, men, hermits, and devotees. Victory, all victory to you, O consort of Rudra; you are fearsome to look at and prefer a drink of hot blood; you are described as having a sword in your hollowed hand and as one who fills her cranial bowl with the blood of her victim. Glory, glory, all glory to you, O Kali, the bearer of a cranial bowl and a sword in your hands. Victory to you, O terrible Delusion, the might of Rudra, and the very death of Death. O Mother, it is for the slaughter of the demons Madhu and Kaitabha that you appeared from the body of Hari. O Mother, your dark form radiant as the sun looks so splendidly winsome that the god of beauty himself cannot but succumb to its charm You are ten-faced with thirty attractive eyes, the crescent moon and a lovely coronet on your head, O Divine Mother; who can describe your comeliness and your dark hair like massed clouds? The beauty of the garland made of your victims' skulls looks splendid as do the weapons and missiles in all your ten hands. You carry a cranial bowl, a sword, a three-progned trident, an axe, a club, a disc, a bow and a conch, all in their proper places. The beautiful skirt made of the severed arms of your enemies looks so becoming like the sacred ornaments adorning every part of your body. Your ten dread feet are all smeared with blood and your long tongue sticks out, rendering your appearance frightening. When, O Mother, you laugh aloud, the earth shivers (like one suffering from shaking chills). Blessed are you, O Primordial Energy and foster- mother of the world, you are presiding deity of Doom (who causes universal destruction). O Mother Kali ! It is your divine feet that made Siva's appearance possible in the world; you have long protruding tongue and a frightening look. Blessed, all blessed are you, O Mother Kali of Calcutta, who are thousand-armed and who have your abode in Sivapura. O Kali ! as Sita you were instrumental in bringing about Ravana's destruction and Raghupati's which, appearing, became amorous of the Lord's feet. You assumed manifold forms for the well-being, peace and happiness of the world. You manifested yourself in the form of Krishna and let your sword be mysteriously transformed into a flute in his hand. Sometimes you take on the form of Visnu with his four arms, at other times of one (Durga, for example) having eight arms, at still other one having ten or eighteen arms. You sometimes appear with thirty-two arms, at other times with just the double of this number, and at still others multiply your arms into a thousand in order to slay your enemies. You are the very power of Hari invoked with prayer at midnight; you have long sharp fangs and a protruding tongue showing your blood-thirsty and fearsome nature. You are furious combatant (raktacandika) with a sword in your hand (you are usually shown on the battlefield or in a cremation ground where you sit on a corpse surrounded by jackals and goblins); you are at once soothing like the moon and fearsome like Rudra and the slayer of the wicked. You are sublime as a hundred peaked mountain and a primordial deity of black or dark complexion. You dwell amongst dark, untrodden caverns. You are the original mother (of all beings) and at the same time a dread deity with human heads for your garland; you're the very slayer of Kamsa and subduer of ghosts and goblins; you're Bhadrakali, a dweller on Kailasa and one who thirsts for the blood of the wicked. Again and again you strike off the heads of your enemies (with your slashing sword) and fill your cranial bowl with blood (oozing from corpses). You gorge yourself on the demon host one after another and rushing on and on shed their wicked blood. Blessed, blessed, all blessed are you, O Mother Kali, who cause your enemies to lick the dust one after another. I entreat you, O Mother, to fulfil your votary's expectations and grant him your favour. I am in a perilous predicament, O Mother, and know not whom to call for help. I am being pursued on the rough roads of life by four robbers who are bent upon turning me against the lord of the house of Raghus, Rama. These are my prime enemies, the sovereign lords of all the deadly evils; lust, anger, infatuation and avarice. If you overthrow them (and abandon me not to my troubles), I would be blessed with devotion to Lord Krishna. I also urge you, Mother, to put an end to the unending string of the wicked (bent on vexing me) immediately. All those wicked souls, who are confirmed sinners, evil-doers, mean, and suffer from idle volubility and vain chattering. Those who cause vexation without being provoked, and who render all religious observances propitious activities fruitless, you pick up, O Mother, and slaughter them without delay; let not this prayer of your son go in vain. I entreat you, O Mother, to reveal yourself as the power of Indra (or as Indrani or as Durga) and display your wondrous might. Slay the villains promptly without further delay. Fill the homes of your devotees with peace, happiness and prosperity, so that this countryside becomes seat of growing exultation and felicity. Sundardasa bows to you again and again, O Mother, and supplicates you to fulfil his expectation. This hymn to the acts of the formidable Kali is like a sacred formula capable of fulfilling every wish as if it were a magic talisman and a charm. He who wishes to attain brilliance should read this hymn to Kali; for it will ensure the destruction of all those who are hostile to Kali promise which would never go in vain. Kai incarnates the very vital force and power of Hari with which she destroys her enemies for the well-being of the world. Every man and woman who seeks refuge in Mother's protective grace and, abandoning all other support, meditates on her, reaps all the auspicious rewards without any effort, so sings Sundaradasa.

RadheRade1657 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 wow very inspiring words. Thanks a million...understanding the words, helps bring meaning to the chalisa.It's great when you can understand what you say or sing when praying.It brings much more heart felt feelings.Thanks again..If you can translate the hanuman chalisa in english that would be wonderful. You're so welcome! I, myself, usually say the Chalisa in English and then in Sanskrit. It helps me grasp the meaning better. So, here you go : Having cleansed the mirror of my mind with the dust of the lotus feet of Sri Gurudev, I now proceed to describe the untarnished glory of Sri Ram which bestows Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha Realizing the inadequacy of my intellect, I meditate upon you Hanumanji, son of the Lord of Winds. Grant me strength, intelligence and true knowledge, and remove all my hardship and blemishes Victory to You O ! Hanumanji, ocean of wisdom and virtue. Victory to You O ! Hanumanji , enlightener of the three worlds. You are the messenger of Sri Rama, abode of immeasurable strength, and son of Anjani, known as Pavansuta You are a great hero of exceptional valor with a body as strong as a thunderbolt. You are the dispeller of wicked thoughts and a companion of good thoughts and wisdom You are golden color and wear fine clothes. You wear shining earrings and have beautiful curly hair. You have the thunderbolt and flag in hand, whilst the sacred thread across your shoulder is made of sacred grass You are the incarnation of Lord Shiva and son of Kesari, and you are adored by the whole world. You are learned, virtuous and extremely intelligent and you are always eager to do the work of Sri Rama You delight in listening to the glories of the Lord and you have Rama, Lakshaman, and Sita residing in your mind You assumed a subtle form when you revealed yourself to Sita ; and by assuming an awesome form you burnt the whole city of Lanka. Then you assumed a gigantic form and destroyed the demons, thereby accomplishing the mission of Lord Rama. When you brought the life-giving medicinal herb (sanjivini) and revived Lakshman, Sri Ram embraced you joyfully Sri Rama extolled you greatly and declared you to be as dear to Him as His brother Bharat Taking you into His embrace, Sri Rama stated that even Seshanag (the thousand headed serpent) sings praises of Your glory. The sages Sanak, Sanatan, Sanandan, and Sanat Kumar Brahma and other Gods, Lord Shiva, Narada, Saraswati and Sesnag, Yamaraja, Kuber, the guardian deities, poets and scholars have all failed to adequately describe your glory You rendered an invaluable service to Sugriva by introducing him to Sri Rama and restoring him to the throne. The whole world knows that Vibhishana heeded your advice and became the lord of Lanka You swallowed the sun from a distance of sixteen thousand miles, considering it to be a sweet fruit Carrying the Lord’s ring in your mouth, you crossed the ocean, there is no wonder in that all the difficult tasks of the world are rendered easily possible by your grace You are the gate-keeper of Sri Rama’s kingdom, where none may enter without your permission He who seeks refuge in you enjoys happiness. What is there to be afraid of if you are the protector ? You alone are able to control your energy ; all three worlds tremble before it.
