Sidha Kunjika Stotram
(The unhidden song of perfection)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(This great prayer is chanted before the reading of Chandi path / Sapthasathi (known as Devi Mahathmya) in the northern parts of India. It is more thanthric in nature and has been taught by Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvathi. Devotees believe that just a recitation of Sidha Kunjika stotram is equivalent to recitation of the complete Chandi(Devi Mahatmyam) and also that the reading of Chandi Path (Devi Mahatmya) would not give complete results without reading Sidha Kunjika stotram before it. The Sanskrit text of the stotra is available in http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/siddhakunjikaa.itx. My humble sense of gratitude to Sri Akhay Dayal who brought this stotra to my notice.)
Shiva Uvacha:-
1.Srunu devi pravakshyami Kunjika stotram uthamam,
Yena matra prabhavena chandi Japa Shubho Bhaveth.
Shiva Said,
Oh Parvathi please hear the great prayer called Kunjika,
By recitation of which , the recitation of Devi Mahatmya(Chandi)
Would become more powerful/auspicious.
2.Na kavacham, Na argali stotram , kilakam , na rahasykam,
Na sooktham Napi dhyanam cha na nyaso na cha varchanam.
There is no need to recite Kavacham , Argalam , Kilakam and the Rahasya thrayam,
Nor is it necessary to recite Suktham , Dhyanam , Nyasam and also no need to worship.
(These are preliminary stotras that need to be recited before reading of Devi Mahatmyam/Chandi/Durga Sapthasathi. Here is it told that if this kunjika stotram is recited then there is no need to recite all these)
3.Kunjika pata mathrena Durga phalam Labheth,
Athi Guhyataram devi, Devanam abhi durlabham.
Just by reading Kunjika , we would get the effect of reading Chandi,
And Oh Goddess this is a great secret and even Devas do not know it.
4.Gopaneeyam prayathnena swayoniriva Parvathi,
Maranam, Mohanam Vasyam Sthambho ucchadanadhikam.
Pata Mathrena sam sidhayeth Kunjika stotram uthamam.
Oh Parvathi , you decide about the effort to keep it as secret
Because just by reading this great prayer on Kunjika , we can easily achieve,
Murder , attraction , slavery , making things motionless by repeated chants,
5.Atha Manthra:-
Now the chant:-
Om Aim, kleem Chamanudayai viche . Om Gloum hoom kleem joom sa,
Jwalaya jwalaya , Jwala, Jwala , prajwala , prajwala ,
Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundayai viche Jwala, ham sam lam ksham phat swaha.
( this is a Thanthric chant which consists of sounds and words which are meant to please the Goddess. “Jwalaya” means “Burn” , “Prajwala” Means “set fire.”)
Ithi Mantra :
This is the chant
6.Namasthe Rudra Roopinyai , Namsthe Madhu Mardini,
Nama Kaidabha Harinyai , Namasthe Mahishardhini
Salutations to her who is angry , Salutations to the killer of Madhu,
