Maa Matangi Aarti
श्री मातङ्गी आरती
Aarti to Maa Matangi, the ninth of the Dasa Mahavidya, the emerald-hued goddess of the spoken word, music and the arts, consort of Bhagwan Matanga, who bestows mastery in vidya, sangeet, kala and sammohan shakti.
Lyrics (Devanagari)
जय मातङ्गी माता, मैया जय मातङ्गी माता।
मरकत वर्ण मनोहर, वीणा हस्त सुहाता॥
चण्डाली रूप धरे, उच्छिष्ट प्रसाद पावे।
वाक्-सिद्धि दात्री, सङ्गीत रस बरसावे॥
राज-सम्मोहन कारिणी, कला में पारंगत बनावे।
आरती कीजे प्यारे, कविता रस छलकावे॥
English Transliteration
jaya matangi mata, maiya jaya matangi mata,
marakata varna manohara, vina hasta suhata,
chandali rupa dhare, uchchhishta prasada pave,
vak-siddhi datri, sangita rasa barasave,
raja-sammohana karini, kala mem parangata banave,
arati kije pyare, kavita rasa chhalakave.
Meaning
Victory to Mother Matangi, of enchanting emerald hue, the divine veena gracing your sacred hands. Assuming the form of the chandali you accept ucchishta offerings rejected by the orthodox, teaching that purity is of the heart not of birth. Bestower of perfect speech and pourer of the nectar of music, you bewitch even kings with sammohan shakti and make your devotees masters of every art. We wave the lamp before you, from whose grace overflow the rasa of poetry, raga and rhythm.
