Devi Mahatmayam in English rhyme
Devi Mahatmayam in English rhyme with Sanskrit text
Devi Kali, Lakshmi, Sarasvati the three steps be,
Of Tamas, Rajas, Sattva represented accordingly,
Tamas is a brick-wall, preventing vision completely,
Rajas is a blowing wind tossing but indiscriminately.
It is the desire and anger born of Rajas indisputably,
Sattva a plain glass, through which you see Reality,
It is after the slaying of all these three actually,
Does dawn freedom, awareness of truth finally.
