Tantrik Ratri Suktam
The fifteen-verse hymn from the opening of the Devi Mahatmya praises Mahamaya as cosmic night, wisdom, memory, creation, preservation and dissolution. It is commonly recited with Chandi Path during Navratri.
समर्पितमाँ दुर्गाOm Vishveshvarim jagad-dhatrim sthiti-samhara-karinim;nidram Bhagavatim Vishnor atulam tejasah prabhuh.
Tvam svaha tvam svadha tvam hi vashatkarah svaratmika;sudha tvam akshare nitye tridha matratmika sthita.
Ardha-matra-sthita nitya yanuchcharya visheshatah;tvam eva sandhya Savitri tvam Devi janani para.
Tvayaitad dharyate vishvam tvayaitat srijyate jagat;tvayaitat palyate Devi tvam atsyante cha sarvada.
Visrishtau srishti-rupa tvam sthiti-rupa cha palane;tatha samhriti-rupante jagato'sya jaganmaye.
Mahavidya Mahamaya Mahamedha Mahasmritih;Mahamohā cha bhavati Mahadevi Mahasuri.
Prakritis tvam cha sarvasya guna-traya-vibhavini;Kalaratrir Maharatrir Moharatrish cha daruna.
Tvam Shris tvam Ishvari tvam Hris tvam buddhir bodha-lakshana;lajja pushtis tatha tushtis tvam shantih kshantir eva cha.
Khadgini Shulini ghora Gadini Chakrini tatha;Shankhini Chapini Bana-bhushundi Parighayudha.
Saumya saumyatarashesha-saumyebhyas tv ati-sundari;paraparanam parama tvam eva Parameshvari.
Yach cha kinchit kvachid vastu sad-asad vakhilatmike;tasya sarvasya ya shaktih sa tvam kim stuyase tada.
Yaya tvaya jagat-srashta jagat paty atti yo jagat;so'pi nidra-vasham nitah kas tvam stotum iheshvarah.
Vishnuh sharira-grahanam aham Ishana eva cha;karitas te yato'tas tvam kah stotum shaktiman bhavet.
Sa tvam ittham prabhavaih svair udarair Devi samstuta;mohayaitau duradharshav asurau Madhu-Kaitabhau.
Prabodham cha jagat-svami niyatam Achyuto laghu;bodhash cha kriyatam asya hantum etau mahasurau.
