The Devi of Navratri

ॐ ऐं रावणस्य वधार्थाय रामस्यानुग्रहाय च।

oṁ aiṁ rāvaṇasya vadhārthāya rāmasyānugrahāya ca.

Om aim. For Ravana's death, and for Ram ji's sake,

अकाले ब्रह्मणा बोधो देव्यास्त्वयि कृतः पुरा॥

akāle brahmaṇā bodho devyāstvayi kr̥taḥ purā.

Brahma ji once awakened You, O Devi, before Your season.

अहमप्याश्विने षष्ठ्यां सायाह्ने बोधयामि वै।

ahamapyāśvine ṣaṣṭhyāṁ sāyāhne bodhayāmi vai.

I too awaken You now, at dusk on Ashwin's Shashthi.

शक्रेणापि च संबोध्य प्राप्तं राज्यं सुरालये॥

śakreṇāpi ca saṁbodhya prāptaṁ rājyaṁ surālaye.

Indra too awakened You, and won back his kingdom in heaven.
