Na thatho na matha, na bandur na datha
Na puthro na puthri na bruthyo na bartha ।
Na jayaa na Vidhya na Vruthir mamaiva
Gathisthwam Gathisthwam Thwam ekaa Bhavani ॥

Bhavabdhava pare Maha dhukha Bheeru
Papaatha prakami pralobhi pramatha ।
Kam samsara pasa prabadha sadaham
Gathisthwam Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani ॥

Na Janaami Dhanam Na cha dhyana yogam
Na janami thathram na cha sthothra manthram ।
Na janami poojam na cha nyasa yogam

Na janami Punyam Na janami theertham
Na janami mukthim layam vaa kadachit ।
Na janami bhakthim vrutham vaapi maatha
Gathisthwam Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani ॥

Kukarmi kusangi kubudhi kudhasa
Kulachara heena kadhachara leena ।
Kudrushti kuvakya prabandha sadaham

Dhinesam Nisidheswaram vaa kadachit ।
Na janami chanyath sadaham saranye

Vivadhe Vishadhe pramadhe pravase
Jale cha anale parvathe shatru madhye ।
Aranye saranye sada maam prapahi

Anadho, dharidro jara roga yuktho
Maha Ksheena dheena sada jaadya vakthra ।
Vipathou pravishta pranshata sadhaham
Gathisthwam Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani ॥

न तातो न माता न बन्धुर्न दाता
न पुत्रो न पुत्री न भृत्यो न भर्ता ।
न जाया न विद्या न वृत्तिर्ममैव
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

भवाब्धावपारे महादुःखभीरु
पपात प्रकामी प्रलोभी प्रमत्तः ।
कुसंसारपाशप्रबद्धः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

न जानामि दानं न च ध्यानयोगं
न जानामि तन्त्रं न च स्तोत्रमन्त्रम् ।
न जानामि पूजां न च न्यासयोगं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

न जानामि पुण्यं न जानामि तीर्थ
न जानामि मुक्तिं लयं वा कदाचित् ।
न जानामि भक्तिं व्रतं वापि मातर्गतिस्त्वं
गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

कुकर्मी कुसङ्गी कुबुद्धिः कुदासः
कुलाचारहीनः कदाचारलीनः ।
कुदृष्टिः कुवाक्यप्रबन्धः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

प्रजेशं रमेशं महेशं सुरेशं
दिनेशं निशीथेश्वरं वा कदाचित् ।
न जानामि चान्यत् सदाहं शरण्ये
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

विवादे विषादे प्रमादे प्रवासे
जले चानले पर्वते शत्रुमध्ये ।
अरण्ये शरण्ये सदा मां प्रपाहि
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥

अनाथो दरिद्रो जरारोगयुक्तो
महाक्षीणदीनः सदा जाड्यवक्त्रः ।
विपत्तौ प्रविष्टः प्रनष्टः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥
