Hymn to Hara-Gauri
SHE is anointed with camphor and sandal
And He with ashes of the funeral pyre;
She wears true ear-rings
And He rings of swaying snakes;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
She is decorated with garlands of Mandara
And He with garlands of human skulls;
She is girt with heavenly robes
And He with the vacant spaces;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
Her anklets stir and jingle
And His, the serpent-hoods, gleam and swing;
Her limbs are decked with gold
And His with the heads of hissing vipers;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
Her eye is as the tremulous blue lotus
And His the red lotus blooming;
Her globes of vision are a triplet
And His too have the same number uneven;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
She is seated at ease on the back of Her devoted minion
And He in His deadly dance destroys the worlds;
She it was who created Kama, the god of love,
And He destroyed him;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
Her half of the body is golden like champa flower,
His half is as white as camphor-dust;
Hers are the flowing tresses
And His the matted hair;
I bow to Her, I bow to Him.
Indeed, dark like clouds are Her massive hair
And His the twisted locks and a body smeared with ashes;
O, the Mother of the worlds! O, the Father!
I bow to Ishwari (Shiva) and I bow to Ishwara (Shiv).
Ever She embellishes the good,
Ever He embellishes the evil;
She is one with Ishwara (Shiv)
And He is one with Ishwari (Shiva);
I bow down to Ishwari (Shiva), I bow down to Ishwara (Shiv).
