Shukravar din ati anukula,Santoshi vrata mangalmula<br />
I bow to you ag<strong>ai</strong>n and ag<strong>ai</strong>n, O deliverer of the world and entreat you to be so good a<br />
mother as to relieve me of my penury and misery. Fridays are all favorable to you for the<br />
observance of Santoshi’s Vrata-the vow kept in honor of you; it is the root of all<br />
blessings.<br />
Bahuvidhi mat <strong>ki</strong> puja kar,Santoshi kl katha shravan kar<br />
Gud aur chana prasad chadhave, nirhar ek jun ma<strong>nav</strong>e<br />
Let the devotee worship the Mother in as many ways as possible and listen to the story of<br />
her miraculous acts; let him offer her <strong>jag</strong>gery and non-fried gram and forgo one meal.<br />
Savadhan us din yah rakkhe, bhul se khatta deve na chakhe<br />
Nahin to matu kupitu ho jati,bansh sahit santan nasati<br />

this rule so enrages the Mother that she, in her fury, destroys the family of the<br />
transgressor.<br />

ceremony must it close. If these instructions are followed, every desire of the devotee will<br />
be fulfilled without delay.<br />

anxieties and sufferings in trice. Whosoever is blessed by the compassionate mother<br />
becomes invincible.<br />

harbinger of a new awakening in this age. I am convinced that there is nine in the three<br />
spheres comparable to her in might and compassion.<br />
Dukh ati p<strong>ai</strong> bahu bichari,pati viyog <strong>ki</strong> vah dukhyari<br />

desires and yields happiness, prosperity and a large family. He who repeats this hymn a<br />
hundred and twenty-five times is relieved of all his afflictions and is blessed with great<br />
felicity and riches.<br />
DOHA:<br />
Santoshi sankat haran,he chamatkar <strong>ki</strong> murti<br />
Grah badha ko dur kar, karo kamna purti.<br />
Santoshi, a veritable embodi<strong>men</strong>t of miraculous feats, is the dispeller of all crises and<br />
obstructions caused by evil stars. I entreat her to fulfill my wishes.
