Yo Mam Jayati Sangrame (The Devi's Battle Vow) PDF

देव्युवाच सत्यमुक्तं त्वया नात्र मिथ्या किञ्चित्त्वयोदितम् । त्रैलोक्याधिपतिः शुम्भो निशुम्भश्चापि तादृशः ॥

devyuvāca satyamuktaṃ tvayā nātra mithyā kiñcittvayoditam trailokyādhipatiḥ śumbho niśumbhaścāpi tādṛśaḥ

The Devi said: You have spoken the truth; nothing untrue have you said. Shumbha is indeed the lord of the three worlds, and so likewise is Nishumbha. But how can what has been vowed in this matter be made false? Hear the vow which, out of little wisdom, I made long ago: 'He who conquers me in battle, who removes my pride, who is my match in strength in the world — he alone shall be my husband.' So let Shumbha come here, or the mighty Nishumbha; conquering me, let him take my hand at once — why delay?

किं त्वत्र यत्प्रतिज्ञातं मिथ्या तत्क्रियते कथम् । श्रूयतामल्पबुद्धित्वात्प्रतिज्ञा या कृता पुरा ॥

kiṃ tvatra yatpratijñātaṃ mithyā tatkriyate katham śrūyatāmalpabuddhitvātpratijñā yā kṛtā purā

यो मां जयति सङ्ग्रामे यो मे दर्पं व्यपोहति । यो मे प्रतिबलो लोके स मे भर्ता भविष्यति ॥

yo māṃ jayati saṅgrāme yo me darpaṃ vyapohati yo me pratibalo loke sa me bhartā bhaviṣyati

तदागच्छतु शुम्भोऽत्र निशुम्भो वा महाबलः । मां जित्वा किं चिरेणात्र पाणिं गृह्णातु मे लघु ॥

tadāgacchatu śumbho'tra niśumbho vā mahābalaḥ māṃ jitvā kiṃ cireṇātra pāṇiṃ gṛhṇātu me laghu
