Lyrics in Kannada:
ದೇವೀ ಭಜೋ ದುರ್ಗಾ ಭವಾನೀ
ಜಗತಾ ಜನನೀ ಮಹಿಷಾಸುರ ಮರ್ಧಿನೀ ||
ತ್ರಿಗುಣಮಯೀ ನವರೂಪಾ ಧಾರಿಣೀ
ಜ್ಞಾನದಾಯಿನಿ ನಮೋಸ್ತುತೇ ||1||
ದುಷ್ಟ ನಿವಾರಿಣೀ, ತು ಮನೋಹಾರಿಣೀ
ಅಘಟಿತ ಘಟನ ಕಾರಿಣಿ ||2||
ಹಿಮಗಿರಿ ನಂದಿನೀ ಭವ ಭಯ ಭಂಜಿನೀ
ಶರಣಾಗತಾ ಚತುರಾ ಅಭಯ ಪ್ರದಾಯಿನೀ ||3||
🔤 English Transliteration:
Devi bhajo Durga Bhavani
Jagata janani Mahishasura mardini
Trigunamayi navaroopa dharini
Jnanadayini namostute ||1||
Dushta nivarini, tu manoharini
Aghatita ghatana karini ||2||
Himagiri nandini bhava bhaya bhanjini
Sharanagata chatura abhaya pradayini ||3||
🌸 English Meaning:
Sing praises of the Goddess Durga Bhavani—
the mother of the universe, the slayer of the demon Mahishasura.
She embodies the three qualities of nature, bearing many divine forms,
the giver of wisdom—salutations to You! ||1||
Remover of evil, charming to behold,
She performs miracles beyond human understanding. ||2||
Daughter of the Himalayas, destroyer of worldly fear,
She grants fearlessness to the wise who take refuge in Her. ||3||
🪔 Reflection:
This soulful bhajan celebrates Goddess Durga during Navaratri in Her form as Bhavani, the fierce yet compassionate mother. Each line is rich in symbolism—the universal mother (Jagata Janani) is not just a nurturer but also the destroyer of adharma, represented by Mahishasura. She operates through the three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas), yet transcends them in her many radiant forms.
The second stanza brings out her mystical powers: She is both awe-inspiring and beautiful, capable of transforming the impossible into reality. The third verse highlights Her identity as the daughter of the Himalayas, pointing to purity, strength, and elevated wisdom. Her promise of abhaya—fearlessness—to the surrendered soul is the core of the bhakti path.
In just a few verses, the bhajan invokes protection, wisdom, and surrender. It’s both a call for divine grace and an acknowledgment of the goddess as the cosmic force upholding dharma.
