ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं क्लीं सर्वपूज्ये देवी मङ्गलचण्डिके I
ऐं क्रूं फट् स्वाहेत्येवं चाप्येकविन्शाक्षरो मनुः II
पूज्यः कल्पतरुश्चैव भक्तानां सर्वकामदः I
दशलक्षजपेनैव मन्त्रसिद्धिर्भवेन्नृणाम् II
मन्त्रसिद्धिर्भवेद् यस्य स विष्णुः सर्वकामदः I
ध्यानं च श्रूयतां ब्रह्मन् वेदोक्तं सर्व सम्मतम् II

Om Hreem sreem kleem sarva poojye devi Mangala Chandike,
Iym kroom phat swahethyevam cha apya ekavinsakharo Manu.
Poojya kalpa tharuschaiva Bhakthaanaam sarva kamadha,
Dasa laksha jape naiva manthra sidhir bhave nrunaam,
Manthra sidhir bhavedh sa Vishnur Sarva Kamadha,
Dhyanam cha sruyathaan Brahman Vedoktham sarva sammatham,

Meaning: If Man worship s with the twenty one lettered Chant,
“Om Hreem, Sreem , Kleem Sarva poojaye devi Mangala Chandike , Iym kroom phat swaha”
She who is like the wish fulfilling tree to him who worships , would fulfill all the wishes of that devotee,
And if he chants it ten lakh times , he would be able to master all occult powers,
For with the mastery of this chant , Lord Vishnu attained all his wishes,
And Lord Brahma meditating and hearing it, was recognized by the Vedas.

देवीं षोड्शवष यां शश्वत्सुस्थिरयौवनाम्।
सर्वरुपगुणाढ्यां च कोमलांगीं  मनोहराम्॥
श्वेतचम्पकवर्णाभा चन्द्रकोटि-समप्रभाम्।
वह्निशुद्धांशुकाधानां रत्नभूषणभूषिताम्॥
बिभ्रतीं कवरीभारं मल्लिकामाल्यभूषितम्।
विम्बोष्ठीं सुदतीं शुद्धां शरत्पद्मनिभाननाम्॥
ईषद्धास्यप्रसन्नास्यां सुनीलोत्पललोचनाम्।
जगद्धात्रीं च दात्रीं च सर्वेभ्यः सर्वसम्पदाम्॥
संसारसागरे घोरे पोतरुपां वरां भजे॥
देव्याश्च द्यानमित्येवं स्तवनं श्रूयतां मुने।
प्रयतः संकटग्रस्तो येन तुष्टाव शंकरः॥

Devim Shodasa varsheeyaam , sarva susthira youvanam,
SArva roppa gunadyaam cha komalaangim manoharaam,
Swetha champaka varnaam , Chandra koti SAmaprabham,
Vahni shudhaam sukhaadhaanaam, rathna bhooshana bhooshithaam,
Bibrathim Khabari baaraam mallika malya vibhooshithaam,
Bimbhoshtim sudathim shudhaam sarad Padma nibhaananaam,
Eesha dwasya prasannasyaam Suneelothphala lochanaam,
Jagat dhatrim cha dhatrim cha Sarvebhya sarva sampadaam
SAmsara sagare ghore potha roopaam varaam bhaje.
Deyascha dhyana mithyevam sthavanam sryathaam mune,
Prayatha sankata grastho yena thushtava Sankara.

Meaning: The goddess is of sixteen years age , and is blessed with permanent youth,
She is blessed with all forms and all good qualities, she has pretty form, she steals the mind,
She is of the colour of White Champa flower, she has the sparkle of billions of moons,
She wears cloth purified by fire and wears ornaments studded with gems,
She is bent due to the weight of her breasts and wears the garland of jasmine,
She has lips of the colour of Bimba fruit, she has good teeth, she is pure and is like the lotus flower of autumn.
She looks pleased with a slow smile and has eyes which are like blue lotus,
She is the mother of the universe, she is the mother and always gives wealth to all,
And she is a boat to cross the ocean of domestic life and is blessed and I salute her.
Oh sage let the meditation and worship for her begin and please hear her prayer,
And thus Shankara made those caught by sorrow as happy.
