Lalitha Panchakam

प्रातः स्मरामि ललितावदनारविन्दं
विम्बाधरं पृथुलमौक्तिकशोभिनासम् ।
आकर्णदीर्घनयनं मणिकुण्डलाढ्यं
मन्दस्मितं मृगमदोज्ज्वलभालदेशम् ॥१॥

prātaḥ smarāmi lalitāvadanāravindaṃ
vimbādharaṃ pṛthula mauktika śobhināsam ।
ākarṇadīrghanayanaṃ maṇikuṇḍalāḍhyaṃ
mandasmitaṃ mṛgamado ujjvala bhāladeśam ॥1॥

At the break of dawn, I remember the lotus face of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari.
The lips are red like bimba fruits and the nose is adorned with large pearls.
The large eyes stretch up to the ears, which are richly decorated with gem-studded earrings.
The face is lit with a gentle smile and the forehead shines with the musk of the deer (Kasturi).

प्रातर्भजामि ललिताभुजकल्पवल्लीं
रक्ताङ्गुलीय लसदङ्गुलि पल्लवाढ्याम् ।
माणिक्यहेमवलयाङ्गदशोभमानां
पुण्ड्रेक्षुचापकुसुमेषुसृणिदधानाम् ॥२॥

prātarbhajāmi lalitābhujakalpavallīṃ
rakta aṅgulīya lasad aṅguli pallavāḍhyām ।
māṇikya hema valaya aṅgada śobhamānāṃ
puṇḍrekṣu cāpa kusumeṣu sṛṇidadhānām ॥2॥

At the break of dawn, I worship the arms of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari, which are like wish-fulfilling creepers.
The fingers resemble shining sprouts and are adorned with red rings.
The arms are decorated with golden bracelets studded with gems.
They hold the sugarcane bow, flower arrows, and the goad (ankusha).

प्रातर्नमामि ललिताचरणारविन्दं
भक्तेष्टदाननिरतं भवसिन्धुपोतम् ।
पद्मासनादिसुरनायकपूजनीयं
पद्माङ्कुशध्वजसुदर्शनलाञ्छनाढ्यम् ॥३॥

prātarnamāmi lalitā caraṇa aravindaṃ
bhakteṣṭadānanirataṃ bhavasindhupotam ।
padmāsana adi suranāyaka pūjanīyaṃ
padma aṅkuśa dhvaja sudarśana lāñchanāḍhyam ॥3॥

At the break of dawn, I salute the lotus feet of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari.
They grant the wishes of devotees and help them cross the ocean of worldly existence.
They are worshipped by Lord Brahma and other celestial beings.
They bear the auspicious symbols of the lotus, goad, flag, and Sudarshana chakra.

प्रातः स्तुवे परशिवां ललितां भवानीं
त्रय्यन्तवेद्यविभवां करुणानवद्याम् ।
विश्वस्य सृष्टिविलयस्थितिहेतुभूतां
विद्येश्वरीं निगमवाङ्मनसातिदूराम् ॥४॥

prātaḥ stuve paraśivāṃ lalitāṃ bhavānīṃ
trayyanta vedya vibhavāṃ karuṇānavadyām ।
viśvasya sṛṣṭi vilaya sthiti hetu bhūtāṃ
vidyeśvarīṃ nigama vāṅmanasātidūrām ॥4॥

At the break of dawn, I praise Lalita Bhavani, the supreme auspicious power beyond the mind.
Her glory and compassion are known only through Vedantic wisdom.
She is the cause of creation, preservation, and dissolution of the universe.
She is pure consciousness, beyond speech, scriptures, and thought.

प्रातर्वदामि ललिते तव पुण्यनाम
कामेश्वरीति कमलेति महेश्वरीति ।
श्रीशाम्भवीति जगतां जननी परेति
वाग्देवतेति वचसा त्रिपुरेश्वरीति ॥५॥

prātarvadāmi lalite tava puṇyanāma
kāmeśvarīti kamaleti maheśvarīti ।
śrīśāmbhavīti jagatāṃ jananī pareti
vāgdevateti vacasā tripureśvarīti ॥5॥

At the break of dawn, O Lalita Tripurasundari, I recite your sacred names:
Kameshwari, Kamala, Maheshwari,
Sri Shambhavi, Jagat Janani, Para,
Vagdevi, and Tripureshwari.

यः श्लोकपञ्चकमिदं ललिताम्बिकायाः
सौभाग्यदं सुललितं पठति प्रभाते ।
तस्मै ददाति ललिता झटिति प्रसन्ना
विद्यां श्रियं विमलसौख्यमनन्तकीर्तिम् ॥६॥

yaḥ ślokapañcakamidaṃ lalitāmbikāyāḥ
saubhāgyadaṃ sulalitaṃ paṭhati prabhāte ।
tasmai dadāti lalitā jhaṭiti prasannā
vidyāṃ śriyaṃ vimala saukhyam anantakīrtim ॥6॥

Whoever recites these five verses of Mother Lalita at dawn,
which bestow good fortune and are delightful to hear,
to that devotee, Lalita Devi becomes instantly pleased
and grants knowledge, prosperity, pure happiness, and endless fame.
