Vanadurgā Upaniṣad (Vanadurgopaniṣad)

Om. Of this great mantra of Vanadurgā, Īśvara in the form of a Kirāta is the seer; / anuṣṭubh is the metre; the Inner Controller Nārāyaṇa, Īśvara, Vanadurgā, and Gāyatrī are the deity; duṃ is the seed-syllable; svāhā is the power; klīṃ is the pin. The ritual application is in recitation for the attainment of the grace of Vanadurgā for me, [and] for the sake of dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. One should perform three pervasive nyāsas with the root mantra. Hrīṃ—thus three pervasive nyāsas. / Om Haṃsinī hrāṃ, with both thumbs, in the heart. / Om Śikhinī hrīṃ, with both index fingers, in the head. / Om Cakriṇī hrūṃ, with both middle fingers, in the topknot. / Om Triśūladhāriṇī hraiṃ, with both ring fingers, armour. / Om Padminī hrauṃ, with both little fingers, in the eyes. / Om Gadinī hraḥ, with the palms and backs of the hands, weapon. / Om, bhūr bhuvaḥ svar om—thus the bounding of the directions. / Now the meditation visualization: / Holding discus, conch, sword, shield, arrows, bow, trident, and pointing finger, / worship her who stands upon the head of Mahiṣa, resembling fresh dūrvā grass; may Durgā bring prosperity!

Resembling gold, having the crescent moon upon her crown, holding conch, discus, boon, and fearlessness in her hands, three-eyed, / seated on a golden lotus, clad in yellow garments, gracious—I bow to goddess Durgā of divine form.

The Vanadurgā Upaniṣad: / Shining like the rising sun, bearing fresh China roses, bound with the crescent moon, having a crest of light, three-eyed, with earrings glittering with various gems, with a lotus girdle, / adorned with necklaces and neck-ornaments, endowed with diverse garments [and] bracelets of gem-strings and the like, endowed with noose and goad, having hands showing fearlessness and boon, charmingly radiant—I bow to the Mother.

May Siddhalakṣmī, Rājalakṣmī, Jayalakṣmī, Sarasvatī, / Śrīlakṣmī, and Varalakṣmī be ever gracious to me.

You are Māyā, Kuṇḍalinī, Action, Madhumatī, Kālī, Kalāmālinī, Mātaṅgī, Vijayā, Jayā, Bhagavatī, Goddess, Śivā, Śāmbhavī, / Śakti, beloved of Śaṅkara, three-eyed, Vāgvādinī, Bhairavī, Hrīṅkārī, Tripurā, composed of the highest and lowest, Mother, Kumārī.

Seated in the middle of a golden lotus, three-eyed, resembling lightning, holding conch, discus, boon, and fearlessness, bearing the crescent of the moon, / wearing a neck-ornament, armlets, necklaces, and earrings, praised by Indra and the others, moon-faced, with a lion at her side—one should meditate on the dweller of the Vindhya.

Mounted on a lion, of dark luster, bearing conch and discus, / and holding arrows and bow—thus one should meditate in the heart upon goddess Durgā.

Om.
