Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 1, verses 58-62 given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 8 March 2023.
ना’ज्ञातं किञ्चिदप्यत्र भवत्या’स्ति जगत्त्रये || ५८ ||
nā’jñātaṃ kiñcidapyatra bhavatyā’sti jagat-traye || 58 ||
58. (The Gods said): “Nothing here in the three worlds is unknown to You
सर्वज्णया सर्वसाक्षिरूपिण्या परमेश्वरि |
तारकेणासुरेन्द्रेण पीडिताः स्मो दिवानिशम् || ५९ ||
sarva-jṇayā sarva-sākṣi-rūpiṇyā parameśvari |
tārakeṇāsurendreṇa pīḍitāḥ smo divāniśam || 59 ||
59. Who are omniscient, the incarnate witness of all, O Supreme Ruler. The demon chief Taraka torments us day and night.
शिवाङ्गजाद्वधस्तस्य निर्मित्तो ब्रह्मणा शिवे |
शिवाण्गना तु नैवास्ति जानासि त्वं महेश्वरि || ६० ||
śivāṅgajādvad-hastasya nirmitto brahmaṇā śive |
śivāṇganā tu naivāsti jānāsi tvaṃ maheśvari || 60 ||
60. His death shall come only at the hands of Shiva’s son—so has Brahma arranged, O Auspicious One. But as You know, Great Ruler, Shiva has no wife.
सर्वज्ञपुरतः किं वा वक्तव्यं पामरैर्जनैः |
एतदुद्देशतः प्रोक्तमपरं तर्कया’म्बिके || ६१ ||
sarva-jña-purataḥ kiṃ vā vaktavyaṃ pāmarairjanaiḥ |
etaduddeśataḥ proktama-paraṃ tarkayā’mbike || 61 ||
61. What can ignorant beings reveal to one who is omniscient? Such is our situation in brief; You can infer the rest, O Mother.
सर्वदा चरणाम्भोजे भक्तिः स्यात् तव निश्चला |
प्रार्थनीयमिदं मुख्यमपरं देहहेतवे || ६२ || ||
sarvadā caraṇāmbhoje bhaktiḥ syāt tava niścalā |
prārthanīyamidaṃ mukhyamaparaṃ dehahetave || 62 ||
62. May we always show unswerving devotion to Your lotus feet; This is our foremost wish. We also pray that You will assume a body."
