          Mantra mathruka pushpa mala sthavam

(Prayer of garland of mantra flowers to the mother)

                                                 Written by

                       Adhi Sankara Bhagavat Pada

                                       Translated in to English by

                                        P.R.Ramachander

  (This is a very pretty mellifluous and remarkable prayer to the mother Goddess written by Adhi Sankara. In the first 16 stanzas he describes the shodasa Upacharas(16 types of services which a devotee would do to his God) in a manner which would move every one’s heart. Of these the sixteenth stanza describes the benefits which a devotee would get by reciting this prayer. The seventeenth is an eulogy of the prayer. Another interesting aspect is that the first letters of the first 15 stanzas are the letters of the Pancha Dasakshri mantra viz

      Ka- aa-ee-la-hrim

     Ha –sa-ka-ha-la-hrim

     Sa-ka-la-hrim

This mantra is supposed to be the holiest to worship and meditate on the mother.)

Kallololla sithamruthabdhi lahari, madhye virajanmani,

Dhweepe kalpaka vatika parivruthe, kaadhamba vatyujwale,

Rathna stambha sahasra nirmitha sabha, madhye vimonathame,

I pray to your Throne, mother,

Which is made of jewels of thought,

And is placed in the main and holy stage,

Which is in the middle of the great arena,

Made with one thousand pillars of precious stones,

Which is in the precious garden of kadambha trees,

Which is surrounded by several kalpaka trees,

Which is in the island of gems,

And which is in the middle of the great tide,

Of the ocean of nectar, which shines with its ever beating waves.

And in his house, Goddess Lakshmi ,

Who is the daughter of ocean,

And who brings all that is good,

Would dance for ever.

And have been woven  by me as a garland of mantras to the mother,

Make the bee like poets  full of joy.
