वीतशोके ध्रुवे देवि पद्मपत्रायतेक्षणे । शुद्धसत्त्वे व्रतस्थे च चण्डरूपे विभावरि
vītaśoke dhruve devi padmapatrāyatekṣaṇe | śuddhasattve vratasthe ca caṇḍarūpe vibhāvari
يا ديفي، يا من لا حزنَ لها وثابتةٌ لا تتزعزع، يا ذاتَ العينين كبتلاتِ اللوتس؛ يا طاهرةَ الجوهر، المقيمةَ على النذرِ المقدّس؛ يا ذاتَ الهيئةِ المهيبة، يا ليلَ النورِ المتلألئ!
Devas (the gods, led by Indra/Mahendra)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī appears radiant like the night sky lit by inner fire—dark-blue aura with bright highlights; lotus-petal eyes soften her fierce visage; she stands unwavering, suggesting vow-bound purity amid battle aftermath.
Devī unites serenity and fierceness—inner purity (śuddha-sattva) and disciplined vrata can coexist with powerful protection.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where Devī’s attributes are praised as the sustaining spiritual force of the holy region.
Vrata (sacred observance) is praised as a divine quality; the verse does not prescribe a specific vrata.
