Mangala Chandika Stotra

Dhyanam

Devim Shodasa varsheeyaam, sarva susthira youvanam,
sarva roppa gunadyaam cha komalaangim manoharaam,
swetha champaka varnaam, Chandra koti sAmaprabham,
vahni shudhaam sukhaadhaanaam, rathna bhooshana bhooshithaam,
bibrathimkhabari baaraam mallika malya vibhooshithaam,
bimbhoshtim sudathim shudhaam sarad padma nibhaananaam,
eesha dwasya prasannasyaam suneelothphala lochanaam,
jagat dhatrim cha dhatrim cha sarvebhya sarva sampadaam
samsara sagare ghore potha roopaam varaam bhaje.
deyascha dhyana mithyevam sthavanam sryathaam mune,
prayatha sankata grastho yena thushtava Sankara.
The goddess is of sixteen years age, and is blessed with permanent youth, She is blessed with all forms and all good qualities, She has pretty form, She steals the mind, She is of the colour of White Champa flower, She has the sparkle of billions of moons, She wears cloth purified by fire and wears ornaments studded with gems, She is bent due to the weight of her breasts and wears the garland of jasmine, She has lips of the colour of Bimba fruit, She has good teeth, She is pure and is like the lotus flower of autumn, She looks pleased with a slow smile and has eyes which are like blue lotus, She is the mother of the universe, She is the mother and always gives wealth to all, and She is a boat to cross the ocean of domestic life and is blessed and I salute Her. Oh sage let the meditation and worship for Her begin and please hear Her prayer, and thus Shankara made those caught by sorrow as happy.

3. She is the Auspicious one who merits auspiciousness, She is the goddess who fulfills auspicious wishes, She who is always auspicious blesses all with auspiciousness.
4. When the goddess is worshipped on Tuesdays she fulfills all auspicious wishes, and she is always worshipped by auspicious kings, who are from the clan of Manus.

6. She who has auspiciousness at all times makes us succeed in all our actions, She who is being worshipped on all tuesdays grants auspiciousness.
7. After praising Mangala Chandika using this prayer, every tuesday he worshipped her, and how much greatness did Lord Shiva attain because of it?
10. First Lord Shiva worshipped the Goddess Sarva Mangala, second she was also worshipped the planet Mangal (mars), third she was worshipped by Bhadra Kali and also the king in auspiciousness, fourth on a tuesday she was also worshipped by the pretty women, fifth she was worshipped my men who wanted auspiciousness,
11. She is worshipped in every world and the lord of the universe worships Her. And thus that Goddess became one who is worshipped everywhere.
13. If the prayer of auspiciousness of the goddess is heard with quite devotion by devas, sages, kings as well as men, oh sage. Good events will happen in their life and nothing which is not auspicious will ever happen to them. And the number of his sons and grandsons will increase and day after day, there would only be auspiciousness.
