Sri Kamakshya annapurna Girija Dasakam

Sri Kamakshya annapurna   Girija   Dasakam
(The  ten verse prayer  addressed to Girija, Kamakshi and Annapurna)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Lord Shiva    is cursed  by  the   sages of Daruka Vana  , that he should   beg alms  from his own wife. Here is a very pretty  prayer in which   Lord Shiva tells his consort  that he  is hungry and requests  her 
For alms. I  could not   find who wrote it and wherefrom I have downloaded   the great stotra. If some   scholar can help , I would be grateful.)

1.Mandhara kalpa   hari chandana  parijatha  ,
Madhya   sasanga  mani mantapa  Vedhi samasthe  ,
Ardhendhu  mouli  sulalata  shadardha   nethe ,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Who is in the stage   in the pearl like  arena of the moon,
In the middle  of Mandhara , karpaga  , hari  chandana and Parijata   trees,
Who has forehead  like the moon’s crescent   and has    three  eyes.

2.Keyura  hara kadakangadha  karna poora ,
Kanchi kalapa   mani kanthi   lasad dukoole  ,
Dugdhanna poornaa   vara kanchanadhavirhastha,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Who is wearing crown  , garlands  , bangles   on  her  limbs,
Ear ornaments, girdle  and ornaments and shining cloth,
And golding the golden ladle   full of curd rice   in her hands.

3.Leelavachamsi   thava Devi rig aadhi Veda  ,
Srusthadhi karma rachana   bhavadheeya cheshtaa ,
Thwath thejasaa   jagadhidham  prathibathi nithyam,

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,

Whose   duties are  duties like creation  and others ,
And whose  luster   shines all  over the world daily.

4.Amba  thwadheeya  charanambuja   sevayaa   ye  ,
Brahmadayo apya  vikalasraya masrayanthi,
Thasmadaham   thava   narhosmi padaravindam,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Oh mother  the service    to the lotus like feet of yours  ,
Are depended by Brahma  and others  by washing it with water ,
And because of that ,I have become a devotee of your lotus feet.

5.AAlee  kadamba    pari sevitha  parswa   bhage  ,
Shukradhayo   mukulithanchalaya   purasthath,
Devi thwadheeya  Charanam  Saranam prapadhye,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Whose proximity   is served   by a huge multitude of maids ,
And whose  front part  is served by light coloured  blossom like cloth,
I surrender  to  your divine feet  oh goddess.

6.Sadbhakthi   kalpa lathike  , bhuvanaika nadhe  ,
Bhoothesa   hrud kamala Madhya   nivasa   brunge,
Karunya poorna nayane  , kim upekshase  maam,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Who is  the magical pill of pure  devotion , who is    the Lord of the universe ,
Who is the bee hovering    in the lotus like  mind  of Lord of Bhoothas,
Whose eye is full of mercy, why are   you neglecting me.

7.Sandyaa thraye   sakala bhoosura   sevya mane  ,
Swahaa swadha rishi   pithru deva ganaa   sthuvanthi,
Jaayaa suthaa   parijanaa  athidhayo   anna kama,
Bhiksham pradehi  Girije  , kshudithaya  mahyam.

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,

8.Gandharva deva  muni Narada  , Koushika athri,

9.Yekamra  moola  nilayasya  Maheswarasya  ,

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Who is  Kamakshi, the soul like darling of   The great god  ,
Of the place of tree with one mango  , who is searched,
By the people    and devotees    who worship   her  ,
And who is the Annapurna   who protects   the three worlds.

10. Sabdathmike    sasi kalaa abharanadhi dehe  ,

I am hungry  , so please    give me  alms  , Oh Girija ,
Who is the soul of the sound  , who wears  crescent of moon,
And other ornaments  on her  body , Who lives   daily ,
In the heart of Lord Shiva  , who  else is there  like you,
Who can completely    remove  poverty, sorrow   and fear?

11. BHakthyaa  sthuvanthi   girija dasakam prabhathe,
Puthrarthi no  adha   dhana  dhanya samrudhi kama  ,
Preethaa   mahesa vanithaa, hima saila kanyaa,
Theshaam   dadhadath athya  sulabhanyapi   chepsithaani.

If those who are desirous to get   son or wealth or grains  ,
Chant these  ten verses  praising  Girija in the morning  ,
With love   the lady  of the great God   who is the daughter  of snow mountain,

Would fulfill   with love    all his    wants with great ease.
