Glory, all glory to you, O Mother Santoshi; being a
of compassionate and contented disposition,
you bestow on your faithful devotees both joy and wealth.
|
|
You are elegantly attired, O Mother, in golden garments
and bedecked with lustrous jewels, diamonds and emeralds.
|
|
|
The red ochre splendour of your lotus–face looks
splendid while, O Compassionate Mother, your faint, feeble smile
enthrals all the three spheres.
|
|
While you are seated on your golden throne, a beloved
votary of yours is waiving a chowry; incense, a lighted
lamp, honey, dry fruits and other delicious offerings are
lying as food presented to you.
|
|
|
Jaggery and unfried gram are your supreme favourites and satisfy
you most; being the very incarnation of contentment you endow your devotees
with great affluence and prosperity.
|
|
You regard Friday as especially consecrated to you; it being
the same day today, a company of your votaries has assembled and yielded
to the charming account of your miracles.
|
|
|
The temple lights are glimmering while the atmosphere all around
is charged with auspicious sounds. With bowed heads your children
are paying homage to you.
|
|
May you accept our worship which brims over your faith
and devotion, and bless us with the fulfillment of our
heart’s desire.
|
|
|
You relieved the impoverished and ailing humanity of its distress
and replenished the homes of the unfortunate with plenty of foodgrains
and blessed them with happiness and good luck.
|
|
He who meditated on you never failed to receive your
blessing of contentment. Blessed are the homes of those
who adore you and listen to the story of your marvellous
acts.
|
|
|
Pray protect, O Mother, the honour of him who seeks
refuge in you; being full of the milk of divine kindness,
you alone can deliver me from these deepening crises.
|
|
The devotee, who performs this ceremony of singing the
aarti song in adoration of Mother Santoshi, is blessed with prosperity,
accomplishment, happiness, and wealth to his heart’s content.
