या चण्डी मधुकैटभ (चण्डी ध्यान श्लोक)
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
या चण्डी मधुकैटभादिदैत्यदलनी या माहिषोन्मूलिनी
या धूम्रेक्षणचण्डमुण्डमथनी या रक्तबीजाशनी।
शक्तिः शुम्भनिशुम्भदैत्यदलनी या सिद्धिदात्री परा
सा देवी नवकोटिमूर्तिसहिता मां पातु विश्वेश्वरी॥
yā caṇḍī madhu-kaiṭabhādi-daitya-dalanī yā māhiṣonmūlinī
yā dhūmrekṣaṇa-caṇḍa-muṇḍa-mathanī yā rakta-bījāśanī |
śaktiḥ śumbha-niśumbha-daitya-dalanī yā siddhi-dātrī parā
sā devī nava-koṭi-mūrti-sahitā māṃ pātu viśveśvarī ||
She who, as Chandi, destroyed the demons Madhu, Kaitabha and the rest; who uprooted the buffalo-demon Mahishasura; who crushed Dhumralochana, Chanda and Munda; who devoured Raktabija; that Power who slew the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, the supreme bestower of all accomplishment — may that Goddess, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, together with Her nine crore forms, protect me.
