“From Brahma Puran

ब्राह्मीं च वैष्णवीं भद्रां, षड्-भुजां च चतुर्मुखीम्।
त्रि-नेत्रां खड्ग-त्रिशूल-पद्म-चक्र-गदा-धराम्॥
पीताम्बर-धरां देवीं, नानाऽलंकार-भूषिताम्।
तेजः-पुञ्ज-धरीं श्रेष्ठां, ध्यायेद् बाल-कुमारिकाम्॥

Meditate on youthful Brahmi* and Vaishnavi* surely,
With six hands, four faces, three eyes gives safety,
With sword, trident, lotus, wheel, globe, mace be,
Greatest – yellow dressed, well decorated elegantly.”

“॥दोहा॥
श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि।
बरनउँ रघुबर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥

Doha
With the dust of guru’s lotus feet having,
I cleanse the mirror of my soul sparkling,
Raghuvar’s spotless glory I be singing,
The four fruits of life it ever is giving.

“संकट मोचन हनुमानाष्टक
मत्तगयन्द छन्द

बाल समय रबि भक्षि लियो तब तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो।
ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो।
देवन आनि करी बिनती तब छाँड़ि दियो रबि कष्ट निवारो।
को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥१॥

When as a child you lapped the sun, darkness on triple world fell,
The worlds so got into trouble and a crisis that none could dispel,
Gods then prayed to you to spare the sun and you did so quell,
Who doesn’t know in this world your name `Problem Solver’ bells?

“Shani Chalisa
॥दोहा॥ Doha
जय-जय श्री शनिदेव प्रभु, सुनहु विनय महराज।
करहुं कृपा हे रवि तनय, राखहु जन की लाज॥

Shani Maharaj, glory to you with sincerity,
Listen to my prayers I request humbly,
Bestow your grace and protect me fully,
Keep respect and honour of your devotees.
