Bhavani Ashtakam

न तातो न माता न बन्धुर्न दाता न पुत्रो न पुत्री न भृत्यो न भर्ता । न जातिर्न पुंसो न विद्या न वित्तः त्वदीयं त्वदीयं त्वदीयं ममैव ॥१॥

na tāto na mātā na bandhurna dātā na putro na putrī na bhṛtyo na bhartā | na jātirna puṃso na vidyā na vittaḥ tvadīyaṃ tvadīyaṃ tvadīyaṃ mamaiva ||1||

Neither father nor mother, neither relative nor giver, neither son nor daughter, neither servant nor husband, neither caste nor gender, neither knowledge nor wealth - what is yours, what is yours, what is yours is truly mine.

भवानि त्वदीयं सदा मे प्रपन्ने कृपा शक्तिरूपे कृपार्द्रस्वभावे । भवाब्धौ पतन्तं दयादृष्टिभाजं निरीक्ष्य स्थितं पाहि मां भवानि ॥२॥

bhavāni tvadīyaṃ sadā me prapanne kṛpā śaktirūpe kṛpārdrasvabhāve | bhavābdhau patantaṃ dayādṛṣṭibhājaṃ nirīkṣya sthitaṃ pāhi māṃ bhavāni ||2||

O Bhavani, I have taken refuge in you. You are the form of compassion and power, with a nature moist with grace. Look upon me with your compassionate eye as I fall into the ocean of worldly existence. Protect me, O Bhavani.
