Jaya Jagadambe
(Paravati--image from source)
After Mirabai
4.
Jaya Jagadambe
Jaya Jagadambe
Sita Radhe
Gauri Durge Namo Namah
Sita Ram
(tranditional song)
Oh, why did I think
I could ever leave you,
my precious ones.
I have loved you
from the beginning of time,
locked you in my heart.
Laksme, Radhe, Parvati,
oh, mysterious and shining ones,
oh, my beloveds,
draw near so that I may
shower you with petals,
bathe you in honey.
Durga hold me now,
cover me with kisses,
bring me to Jagadambe
when I am ready.

Radhe, fortunate one, wife of Krishna
Parvati, brilliant one
Durga, Incomprehensible one, bringer of self-knowledge
