subject: A Poem, " Forgive Me, My Lord " [print this page]

Devi Sooktam or Durga Saptashathi is a major philosophical text. It is

called Sapta Shati because it contains 700 verses like another

colossus,

the

Song Celestial ( Bhagavat Geetha ).

The devotee asks for forgiveness. He says I know not Philosophy or

Religion

and I commit a lot of sins and please forgive me !

Aparadha Sahasrani

Kiryante Har nisam maya

Dasoyam ithi mam mathva

Kshamsva Parameshwari

I commit a lot of sins

Knowlingly or unknowingly

Consider me as your servant

And forgive my sins !

Avahanam na janami

Na janami visarjanam

Poojam chaiva na janami

Kshamyatham Parameshwari

I know not how to invoke Thee

Nor the concluding rites of Puja

I know not how to worship Thee

Please have mercy on me !

Mantra heenam Kriya heenam

Bhakti heenam Sureshwari

Yat poojitham maya devi

Paripoornam thadasthu me

O Mother I know not Mantra

Nor the path of Action

Nor Devotion's way great

Be satisfied by my prayer !

Aparadha Shatham Krithva

Jagadambethi Chochareth

Yam gathim Smavapnothi

Na tham Brahma daya Sura

After doing a lot of sins

If somebody calls Thy Name

Their destiny cannot be judged

By the Creator or demigods !

Saparadhosmi Sharanam

Prapthaswam Jagadambike

Idaneemanu kamyoham

Yadecchasi Tada Kuru

Full of offences am I

I take refuge in Thee

This trembling servant's Fate

Should be decided by Thee !

Anjanadvismruthesronya

Yanyonyam Adhikam Kritham

Tat Sarvam Kshamayam Devi

Praseeda Parameshwaree

Lack of wisdom, memory, knowledge

Spurred my actions bad

Forgive those sins

And be satisfied with me !

Kameshwari Jagath matha

Sachchidananda Vigrahe

Grihanamrcha mimam preethya

Praseeda Parameshwaree

O Love, O Mother of the Universe !

Blissful art Thou in Thy nature

Accept my offerings divine

With happiness and be happy on me !

Guhyathi Guhya Gopthree Thvam

Grihanasma kritham Japam

Siddhir bhavathu me Devi

Thvat Prasadath Sureshwari !

The Secret of all secrets

Is known only to Thee !

May I become divine

Blessed by Thy Grace !
