Parvati Aarti: Jai Parvati Mata

1. Verse 1

   जय पार्वती माता, जय पार्वती माता। ब्रह्म सनातन देवी, शुभ फल की दाता॥

   Jay Parvati mata, jay Parvati mata. Brahma sanatan devi, shubh phal ki data ||

   Victory, victory to you, Mother Parvati. You are the eternal Goddess, one with Brahman, and the giver of auspicious fruit.

2. Verse 2

   अरिकुल पद्म विनाशिनि, जय सेवक त्राता। जग जीवन जगदम्बा, हरिहर गुण गाता॥

   Arikul padma vinashini, jay sevak trata. Jag jivan jagdamba, harihar gun gata ||

   Victory to you, who destroy the lotus-beds of enemy clans and protect your servants. You are the life of the world and the Mother of the universe; Hari and Har (Vishnu and Shiva) sing your virtues.

3. Verse 3

   सिंह को वाहन साजे, कुण्डल हैं साथा। देव वधू जस गावत, नृत्य करत ताथा॥

   Sinh ko vahan saje, kundal hain satha. Dev vadhoo jas gavat, nritya karat tatha ||

   The lion stands adorned as your mount, and earrings grace your ears. The wives of the gods sing your glory and dance to the beat of ‘ta-tha’.

4. Verse 4

   सतयुग रूप शील अतिसुंदर, नाम सती कहलाता। हेमांचल घर जन्मी, सखियन संग राता॥

   Satyug roop shil atisundar, naam sati kahlata. Hemanchal ghar janmi, sakhiyan sang rata ||

   In the Satya age you were supremely beautiful in form and virtue and were called Sati. Then you were born in the house of Himachal (Himalaya) and lived joyfully among your companions.

5. Verse 5

   शुम्भ निशुम्भ विदारे, हेमांचल स्थाता। सहस्र भुजा तनु धरि के, चक्र लियो हाथा॥

   Shumbha nishumbha vidare, hemanchal sthata. Sahasra bhuja tanu dhari ke, chakra liyo hatha ||

   Goddess who dwells on the Himalaya, you tore apart Shumbha and Nishumbha. You took on a body with a thousand arms and held the discus in your hand.

6. Verse 6

   सृष्टि रूप तुही है जननी, शिव संग रंगराता। नन्दी भृंगी बीन लही, सारा जग मदमाता॥

   Srishti roop tuhi hai janni, Shiv sang rangarata. Nandi bhringi bin lahi, saara jag madmata ||

   O Mother, you are creation itself, dyed in the colour of love with Shiva. Nandi and Bhringi (Shiva’s attendants) take up the veena, and the whole world is lost in joy.

7. Verse 7

   देवन अरज करत, तव चित को लाता। गावत दे दे ताली, मन में रंगराता॥

   Devan araj karat, tav chit ko lata. Gavat de de tali, man mein rangarata ||

   The gods make their plea with their minds fixed on you. Clapping as they sing, their hearts are dyed in the colour of your love.

8. Verse 8

   श्री प्रताप आरती मैया की, जो कोई गाता। सदा सुखी नित रहता, सुख सम्पत्ति पाता॥

   Shri pratap aarti maiya ki, jo koee gata. Sada sukhi nit rahta, sukh sampatti pata ||

   The aarti says that whoever sings this glorious aarti of the Mother stays happy always and gains happiness and prosperity.

The wording of this aarti varies a good deal between collections. Some give verse 2 as ‘Arikul kantak naasani, nij sevak traata, jagjanani Jagdamba’, verse 3 with ‘Devbandhu’ for ‘Dev vadhu’, the last line of verse 6 as ‘Nandi Bhringi been lahi hai, haathan madmaata’, and verse 7 with ‘hum chit ko laata’ for ‘tav chit ko laata’. One popular collection has entirely different verses 7 and 8: ‘Devan araj karat hum, charan dhyan laata, teri kripa rahe to, man nahin bharmaata’ and ‘Maiya ji ki aarti, bhakti bhaav se jo nar gaata, nitya sukhi rah karke, sukh sampatti paata’. The words ‘Shri Pratap’ in the last verse can be read as ‘glorious’ or as a poet’s signature name; the author of the aarti is not known. When sung, the first line (the refrain) is repeated after every verse.

After the aarti, most homes recite: कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।
