Crescent-shaped triple mark on your forehead adorable be,

You adore jewels garland, your eyes a full lotus beauty,

On your head crown of gems, freeing devotees from anxiety,

Fragrant blossom flowers, sweet `laddus’ your delicacies.

धनि शिव सुवन भुवन सुख दाता। गौरी ललन षडानन भ्राता॥

O Kaartikeya's brother - beloved son of Shiv and Gauri,

Attired in your beautiful yellow silken dress so elegantly,

Wearing wooden sandals studded with gems beautifully,

You are the source of the blessings of the world totally.

5

ॠद्धि सिद्धि तव चंवर सुढारहिं। मूषक वाहन सोहित द्वारहिं॥

तव महिमा को बरनै पारा। जन्म चरित्र विचित्र तुम्हारा॥

Over you wave royal fan, accomplishment and prosperity,

Your vehicle, the mouse, adds to your splendor and glory,

And the story of your life is so strange filled with mystery,

Who can state your magnificence, which passes all stories?

6

एक असुर शिवरुप बनावै। गौरिहिं छलन हेतु तह आवै॥

एहि कारण ते श्री शिव प्यारी। निज तन मैल मूर्ति रचि डारि॥

A demon disguised as Shiv tried repeatedly,

To delude Gauri who in order to foil his folly,

Molded you as her own son with all glory,

A divine form from the very scurf of her body.

7

सो निज सुत करि गृह रखवारे। द्धारपाल सम तेहिं बैठारे॥

जबहिं स्वयं श्री शिव तहं आए। बिनु पहिचान जान नहिं पाए॥

Gauri assigned you to guard her home – your duty,

Stationed you at the very entrance for her security,

When Shiv, her husband, approached unknowingly,

He being unrecognized was not allowed any entry.

8

पूछ्यो शिव हो किनके लाला। बोलत भे तुम वचन रसाला॥

मैं हूं गौरी सुत सुनि लीजै। आगे पग न भवन हित दीजै॥

Shiv asked, Whose son, are you? softly,

And you even replied then so pleasantly,

"I am the son of Gauri do hear undoubtedly,

And do not step towards the house" firmly.

9

आवहिं मातु बूझि तब जाओ। बालक से जनि बात बढ़ाओ॥

चलन चह्यो शिव बचन न मान्यो। तब ह्वै क्रुद्ध युद्ध तुम ठान्यो॥

You asked Shiv to wait for your mother's consent clearly,

Shiv avoiding to prolong talk with a child undoubtedly,

Attempted to enter –ignoring your words unmindfully,

And you then challenged him to war determinedly.

10

तत्क्षण नहिं कछु शंभु बिचारयो। गहि त्रिशूल भूल वश मारयो॥

शिरिष फूल सम सिर कटि गयउ। छट उड़ि लोप गगन महं भयउ॥

At that moment Shiv without thought plainly,

Hurled his trishul (Trident) hitting you squarely,

Severing your head from your body immediately,

Which soared into the sky and disappeared fully.

11

गयो शंभु जब भवन मंझारी। जहं बैठी गिरिराज कुमारी॥

पूछे शिव निज मन मुसकाये। कहहु सती सुत कहं ते जाये॥

And then Shiv entered the house unheedingly,

Wherein sat the daughter of Himalaya - Gauri,

Shiv inquired from her - within but smilingly,

Hey Sati how you Give birth to your son? openly.

12

खुलिगे भेद कथा सुनि सारी। गिरी विकल गिरिराज दुलारी॥

कियो न भल स्वामी अब जाओ। लाओ शीष जहां से पाओ॥

The legend of your birth unfolded with her story,

And Gauri fell to the ground learning your tragedy,

"You did not do good – My Lord go sincerely,

Bring his head wherever you find it eventually."

13

चल्यो विष्णु संग शिव विज्ञानी। मिल्यो न सो हस्तिहिं सिर आनी॥

धड़ ऊपर स्थित कर दीन्ह्यो। प्राण वायु संचालन कीन्ह्यो॥

Shiv accompanied by Vishnu searched hopefully,

Could not find your head - tried unsuccessfully,

Brought back a baby elephant’s head eventually,

Placed it on your body, gave you life and immortality.
