Transliteration
Shiva uvaacha — Shrinu devi pravakshyaami kunjikaa-stotram-uttamam | Yena mantra-prabhaavena Chandi-jaapah shubho bhavet | Aim Hreem Kleem Chaamundaayai Vichche | Om Glaum Hum Kleem Joom Sah jvaalaya jvaalaya jvala jvala prajvala prajvala | Aim Hreem Kleem Chaamundaayai Vichche jvala han han pacha pacha trotaya trotaya deeptim kuru kuru svaahaa
Meaning (English)
Shiva said: Hear, O Devi, I shall declare to you the supreme Kunjika Stotra — by the power of this mantra alone the Chandi-japa becomes auspicious and bears fruit. The kuncika "key-mantra" combines the seed-syllables Aim Hreem Kleem of Saraswati, Mahalakshmi and Mahakali, surrounding the Chamunda beeja and sealed with Vichche. The stotra is held to be the "key" that unlocks the fruit of the entire 700-verse Durga Saptashati.
Benefits (Phal)
Direct substitute for the 700-verse Durga Saptashati when time is short — the kavach + argala + keelaka + 13 chapters become unnecessary when this stotra is recited daily. Removes black magic, abhichaara, drishti, court cases, hostile spirits.
When to Chant
Brahmamuhurta or pradosh kala daily; every Ashtami and Navami; Navaratri 9 days; on Tuesdays for protection.
How to Chant
Face east or north; rudraksha or putrajeevi mala; complete stotra ~5 minutes; offer red flowers and kumkum; can be repeated 3, 11 or 108 times for serious adhikara.
