1. Nrada said :-- O All knowing One! Thou showest Thy grace to Thy devotees! Thou hast described this sin-destroying Gyatr Hridaya. Now describe Her Stava (hymn of praise).
2-29. Nryana said :-- O World-Mother! O Thou, favouring Thy devotees! O Thou, the Prime Force, O Omnipresent! Infinite! Sr Sandhye! I bow down to Thee. Thou art the Sandhy; Thou art the Gyatr, Svitr and Sarasvat; Thou art Brhm, Vaisnav and Raudr and Thou art red, white, and black (the colours of Gyatr, Svitr and Sarasvat) that Thou assumest respectively. O Bhagavat! Thou art always meditated by the Munis as young in the morning, full of youth in the mid-day, and aged in the evening. I bow down to Thee. Thou art seen by the Tapasvis (ascetics) as Brahmn, riding on Hamsa (swan), Sarasvat riding on Garuda, and Svitr riding on Bull. Thou art seen within by the ascetics as manifesting the Rigveda (in the form of Svitr) in this world, as manifesting Yayurveda in the middle space (antariksam) and as manifesting Smaveda everywhere in the Rudra loka, thus roaming in the three worlds. I bow down to Thee. O Dev! Thou art Rudrn in the Rudra loka, Vaisnav in the Visnu loka, and Brahmn in the Brahm loka; thus Thou shewest Thy favour to the Immortals. O Dev! Thou art the Mother delighting the seven Risis (of the Great Bear); Thou art My. Thou grantest great many boons to Thy Bhaktas. Thou art sprung from the eyes and hands, tears and perspiration of Siva and Siv. Thou art the Mother of delights, Durg Dev, recited by the following ten names :-- Vareny, Varad, Varisth, Varavarnin, Garisth, Varh, Varroh, Nlagang, Sandhy and Bhoga Moksad. Thou art the Bhgirath (the river Ganges) in this world; the Bhogavat in the Ptla; and the Mandkin (the milky way) in the Heavens. Thou art in this world (Bhur loka) the all-enduring Prithv (earth); Thou art the Vyu Sakti (air power) in the middle space (Bhubhar Loka); Thou art the energy (the ocean of Tejas) in the Heavens (Svar loka); Thou art the Great Siddhi in the Mahar loka; Thou art Jan in the Janar Loka; Thou art Tapasvin in the Tapar loka; Thou art Truth (True Speech) in the Satya lokam. Thou art Kamal in Visnu loka; Gyatr in Brahm loka; and the other half of Hara as Gaur in the Rudra loka. O Dev! Thou art sung as Prakriti "Aham Om-Mahat" tattva and beyond that the Highest Sarva
p. 1146
Brahm rpin and Smyvasth Prakriti. Thou art the Par Sakti; Thou art the Param Sakti; O Dev! Thou art the Tri-Sakti :-- the Ichchh Sakti (the will power), the Kriy Sakti (power of action) and the Jna Sakti (the force of knowledge). Thou art the Gang, Yamun, Vips', Sarasvat, Sarayu, Devk, Sindhu; Narmad, rvat, Godvar, Satadru; Kver, Kaus'ik, Chandra Bhg, Vitast, Gandak, Tapin, Karatoy, Gomat, and Vetravat and other rivers; Thou art the Id, Pingal, and Susumn nerves; Thou art Gndhr, Hastajihv, Ps, Aps, Alambus, Kuh, Sankhin, Prnavhin and other nerves in the body; O Dev! Thou art the vital power in the lotus of the heart; Thou art Svapna nik in the throat; Thou art Saddhr in the palate; and Thou art the Vindumlin Sakti in the pituitary space between the eyebrows.
Thou art the Kundalin in the Mldhra (sacral plexus), the Vypin extending upto the roots of the hairs; Thou art Madhysan on the crown of the head, and Thou art Manonman in the Brahmrandhra. O Dev! What need there is in stating these? Suffice it to say that whatever there is seen in this universe, all art Thou; therefore, O Sr Sandhy Dev! I bow down to Thee. O Nrada! Thus I have spoken to you about the Gyatr-Stotra that gives all successes, destroys all sins, and yields all merits. He who reads this in the Sandhy times, with all attention, will get sons if he has no sons, will get wealth if he has no wealth. There is no doubt in this. Whoever reads this Stotra gets the fruits of all Trthas, all Tapasys, all gifts, all sacrifices and all Yogas. He enjoys happiness in this world and finally gets the Moksa. The Munis who are engaged in Tapasys read this Stotra. While bathing, if one reads this, merged under water, acquires the fruits of his being merged in the Sandhy. O Nrada! I speak this verily, verily, verily, unto you that there is no trace of any doubt in this statement. Whoever will hear with devotion this Sandhy stotra, the nectar-like thing, will be freed from all sins.
Here ends the Fifth Chapter of the Twelfth Book on the Gyatr Stotra in the Mahpurnam Sr Mad Dev Bhgavatam of 18,000 verses by Maharsi Veda Vysa.
