Dakshayagam

English

O master of the world! My generous husband

English
Sloka:
After hearing the Lord’s words and after Sage Narada left, Sathi, who was keen to witness the magnificent sacrificial rites being conducted by her father, bowed to her husband and spoke thus.
 
O master of the world! My generous husband
please listen to my words
 
Please grant me this wish growing in my heart,
O protector of all dependents
 
With your permission I would like to go and watch

Pay your respects to Lord Siva

English
Pay your respects to Lord Siva
that will be good for you
 
Without realising His greatness
it’s not right to speak ill of him
 
How He killed the pride of the Yama
and how He slayed Gajasura
if you think of His deeds, where’s the 
need to speak about Siva’s greatness.
 
Though God is always serene

O Great Sage, your arrival brings

English
O Great Sage, your arrival brings
great delight to me
 
Meeting admirable men is the only way
to remove misery and receive blessings
 
Why the sinless Narada, the great ascetic Vasishta
and sages such as the Sanakas didn’t come?
Lord Brahma is our common father and yet
why did they harbour this feeling? Alas!
 

O generous soul! O Supreme Being

English
O generous soul! O Supreme Being!
I bow before you always, O Gouri’s partner!
 
O Creator, Protector and Destroyer
the power on the other side of the mortal world
 
You are the Sun for the Lotus that are sages’ hearts
the power that destroys evil again and again
 
The power that saved Markendeya from death
I pray to you, O God who showers largesse
