Once all the gods gathered and approached the great goddess with a profound question. Eagerly they asked, "Great goddess, who are you?" She replied with divine wisdom, "I am the essence of Brahman, the ultimate reality.
From me, the entire cosmos composed of Parisha, the spirit and procriti, the matter comes into being. From me arise both the void and its fullness. I am bliss and non-b bliss, wisdom and ignorance. I am the Brahman that must be
known and the non-rohman that is beyond knowing just as the sacred scriptures of the avens declare. I am the five fundamental elements and all their diverse manifestations that form this world. I am the vades, the sacred knowledge and I am also everything that
lies beyond them. I am the unborn and I am the born. I am below, above and all around, present everywhere. Absolutely. I move with the mighty Rudras and the benevolent vasis. I walk alongside the oditias and the vishvas.
I am with Maitra and Varuna with Indra and Ugni and I support the two Ashvins the divine artisan Pushan the nourisher and Ba the bestower of fortune. I support the wide-stepping Vishnu, the
creator Brahma and Pjapati, the lord of all creatures. For the devoted sacrificer who diligently offers oblations and presses the sacred su. I grant immense wealth and prosperity. I am the state, the very source of
riches and I stand as its supreme protector. Whoever realizes my true essence within the inner see of their own heart will surely attain my divine abode. Hearing this the gods bowed in reverence and said salutations to you oh
goddess great goddess where you to blessed procriti we offer our salutations and all glory. We bow to you always with deep respect and sincerity. I seek refuge in you, oh goddess who
glows with the color of fire, radiant with aesthetic power. You who enjoy the fruits of all actions, you are difficult to reach. You are the one who dispels all darkness and misery. The gods themselves brought forth the divine gift
of speech. Through her creatures of all forms express themselves profoundly. May that lorded speech like a celestial cow yielding sweet fruits and vigor manifest for us to the auspicious one Dax's daughter to Aditi the mother of
gods to Sarasvati the goddess of wisdom to Scander's mother and to Vishnu's power we offer our sincere obeasance to the knight of cosmic dissolution praised by Brahma himself we bow with devotion We know the great goddess Shri Lakshmi,
the embodiment of good fortune. We meditate on her for the fulfillment of all our desires. May this divine goddess inspire and guide us always. Through you, Dshyani a deity was born and she in turn is your daughter. After her were
born the apicious and blessed gods, the companions of immortality, the seed mantras of creation are revealed. Love, the womb, the part of love, the bearer of the thunderbolt, the cave, the syllables ha and essay, the
wind, the cloud, and indra cave and the syllables essay. Ca la followed by maya the cosmic illusion. This is the complete and primeval science that gives birth to everything. This is the power of the self enchanting all beings.
She is armed with the noose to bind and the hook to guide holding the bow of determination and the arrow of focus. This is the great and holy science of the divine. Whoever knows and fully comprehends this truth will navigate beyond all of life's grief, sorrow, and
misery. Oh divine mother, we bow to you with reverence. Please protect us always and in every possible way. She is the eight vajis, the 11 rudras and the 12 oddities. She is all the gods whether they drink the
sacred s or not. She is the goblins, demons, evil beings and ghosts. She is the superhuman and the semi- divine. She embodies the qualities of satva, rajas and tamaspurity, passion and inertia.
Shu praapati indra and manu. She's the planets, the stars and all luminous spheres. She is the divisions of time and its primeval eternal form. To her be all glory. She is the goddess who unfailingly banishes all distress.
She grants both worldly pleasure and ultimate liberation. She is infinite, victorious, pure and auspicious. She is our refuge and the giver of all that is good. The all powerful seed mantra of the goddess is the syllable
representing the sky. Joined with the vowel eye along with fire and the crescent moon. Sages who meditate on this single syllable mantra attain oceans of wisdom and supreme bliss. Fashioned from divine speech born of
Brahman. She is the sixth. Her face is fully equipped. The sun and the left ear are where the eighth and third elements join. The air united completely with narion forms her lip and voice. Her nine-lettered mantra delights the lofty
ones. Seated in the lotus of the heart as brilliant as the morning sun, she holds a noose and a hook. She grants boounds and dispels all fear. Tender, three-eyed, and robed in red, she grants her devities all their hearts desires.
To you, oh goddess, all glory. I bow to you, the dispeller of all fears. The vanquisher of obstacles, the wearer of great mercy. Your true essence is unknown even to Brahma and the other gods. You have no end, and so you are
called the endless. You cannot be grasped by the mind. So you are called the incomprehensible. Your origin is unknown. So you are called the unborn. You alone are present everywhere. And so you are called the one. You manifest in all forms.
And so you are called the many. Thus you are the unknowable and the endless. The incomprehensible, the unborn, the one and the many. You goddess are the source of all mantras. The knowledge of all words is but your form. Your conscious
form transcends all thought and cognition. You are the silent witness of all emptiness. Beyond you there is nothing. You are renowned as unapproachable. The one who is feared in the cycle of life. I bow to you. The one who protects
against all sin. The pilot who steers me safely across the worldly sea of existence. Thank you for joining this exploration of the Davyi Upanishad. If this wisdom resonated with you, please like, share, and subscribe for
