Meditation Hymn of Dakshina Kali
Om. Fierce of face, she is dark, with flowing hair and four-armed.
Dakshina Kalika divine, adorned with a garland of heads.
In Her lotus hands on the left, a severed head and a sword.
She bestows sanctuary and blessings with her right hands.
The color of the monsoon clouds, and clothed by the sky,
the garland of heads around her neck, tinges her with blood.
Fear-inspiring, with a pair of unborns as her earrings.
Her face is ferocious , her high breasts full in affection.
Girdled with a skirt of severed arms, she smiles.
A stream of blood flows from the corner of her lips.
Terrifying of voice, turbulent, dwelling in cremation grounds
With fearsome teeth, her three eyes reddened like the early sun.
she is installed on the heart of a corpse-like Siva.
Jackals howl around her, filling the four directions.
She is in reverse congress with mahakal (Time) .
With a blissful face, she is always smiling.
Meditate on kali, who grants all needs and desires.
**This transliteration follows the text given by Shri Narendranath Brahmachary
of Dev Sangha Ashram, Deoghar, India, in his ‘Mantra O Puja Rahasya’
