Bhavani Ashtakam

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 ॥१॥

Meaning: There is no mother or father,
Not a relationship or a friend,
Son or daughter,
Servant or husband,
Wife or knowledge,
And not just my job,
My refuge in which I can trust, O, Bhavani.
So you are my only refuge and refuge, Bhavani.

Meaning: I am in this sea of ​​birth and death,
I’m a coward, I never suffer adversity,
I am full of lust and sin,
I am full of greed and lust,
And I’m bound, for this useless life that I live,
So you are my only refuge and refuge, Bhavani.

And I do not know other gods,
Oh, goddess to whom I always bow,
So you are my only refuge and refuge, Bhavani.

And while I was in the deep forest,
I bow down before you, O God, *
So you are my only refuge and refuge, Bhavani.

I bow before you always.
