oṃ asya śrīdurgāsaptaślokīstotramantrasya nārāyaṇa ṛṣiḥ, anuṣṭup chandaḥ, śrīmahākālī-mahālakṣmī-mahāsarasvatyo devatāḥ, śrīdurgāprītyarthaṃ saptaślokīdurgāpāṭhe viniyogaḥ |

Om. For this hymn-mantra of the Durga Saptashloki, the seer is Narayana, the metre is Anushtup, the deities are Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati; it is recited for the pleasure of Sri Durga.

शिव उवाच — देवि त्वं भक्तसुलभे सर्वकार्यविधायिनि । कलौ हि कार्यसिद्ध्यर्थमुपायं ब्रूहि यत्नतः ॥

śiva uvāca — devi tvaṃ bhaktasulabhe sarvakāryavidhāyini | kalau hi kāryasiddhyarthamupāyaṃ brūhi yatnataḥ ||

Shiva said: O Goddess, easily attained by devotees, accomplisher of all tasks — in this age of Kali, kindly tell me with care the means to attain success.

देव्युवाच — शृणु देव प्रवक्ष्यामि कलौ सर्वेष्टसाधनम् । मया तव च स्नेहेनाप्यम्बास्तुतिः प्रकाश्यते ॥

devyuvāca — śṛṇu deva pravakṣyāmi kalau sarveṣṭasādhanam | mayā tava ca snehenāpyambāstutiḥ prakāśyate ||

The Goddess said: Listen, O Lord, I shall declare the means to fulfil every desire in the Kali age. Out of love for you, the praise of the Mother is now revealed.

ॐ ज्ञानिनामपि चेतांसि देवी भगवती हि सा । बलादाकृष्य मोहाय महामाया प्रयच्छति ॥ १॥

oṃ jñānināmapi cetāṃsi devī bhagavatī hi sā | balādākṛṣya mohāya mahāmāyā prayacchati || 1||

1. That Divine Goddess Bhagavati, the great Mahamaya, forcibly seizes even the minds of the wise and casts them into delusion.

दुर्गे स्मृता हरसि भीतिमशेषजन्तोः स्वस्थैः स्मृता मतिमतीव शुभां ददासि । दारिद्र्यदुःखभयहारिणि का त्वदन्या सर्वोपकारकरणाय सदार्द्रचित्ता ॥ २॥

durge smṛtā harasi bhītimaśeṣajantoḥ svasthaiḥ smṛtā matimatīva śubhāṃ dadāsi | dāridryaduḥkhabhayahāriṇi kā tvadanyā sarvopakārakaraṇāya sadārdracittā || 2||

2. O Durga, when remembered you remove the fear of every creature; remembered by the well, you bestow a most auspicious mind. O remover of poverty, sorrow and fear — who other than you is ever tender-hearted to do good to all?

सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके । शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ३॥

sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalye śive sarvārthasādhike | śaraṇye tryambake gauri nārāyaṇi namo'stu te || 3||

3. O auspiciousness of all auspicious things, O benevolent Shiva, accomplisher of all aims, O refuge, three-eyed Gauri, O Narayani — salutations to you.

शरणागतदीनार्तपरित्राणपरायणे । सर्वस्यार्तिहरे देवि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ४॥

śaraṇāgatadīnārtaparitrāṇaparāyaṇe | sarvasyārtihare devi nārāyaṇi namo'stu te || 4||

4. O you ever-devoted to rescuing the meek and the afflicted who take refuge, O remover of everyone's distress, O Narayani — salutations to you.

सर्वस्वरूपे सर्वेशे सर्वशक्तिसमन्विते । भयेभ्यस्त्राहि नो देवि दुर्गे देवि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ५॥

sarvasvarūpe sarveśe sarvaśaktisamanvite | bhayebhyastrāhi no devi durge devi namo'stu te || 5||

5. O you who are the very form of all, ruler of all, endowed with all power — protect us from all fears, O Goddess Durga; salutations to you.

रोगानशेषानपहंसि तुष्टा रुष्टा तु कामान् सकलानभीष्टान् । त्वामाश्रितानां न विपन्नराणां त्वामाश्रिता ह्याश्रयतां प्रयान्ति ॥ ६॥

rogānaśeṣānapahaṃsi tuṣṭā ruṣṭā tu kāmān sakalānabhīṣṭān | tvāmāśritānāṃ na vipannarāṇāṃ tvāmāśritā hyāśrayatāṃ prayānti || 6||

6. When pleased, you destroy all diseases; when displeased, you fulfil every cherished desire. Those who take refuge in you fall into no misfortune — indeed, those who take refuge in you themselves become a refuge for others.

सर्वाबाधाप्रशमनं त्रैलोक्यस्याखिलेश्वरि । एवमेव त्वया कार्यमस्मद्वैरिविनाशनम् ॥ ७॥

sarvābādhāpraśamanaṃ trailokyasyākhileśvari | evameva tvayā kāryamasmadvairivināśanam || 7||

7. O Mistress of all the three worlds, just as you have quelled every affliction, so too may you accomplish the destruction of our enemies.
