Vindhyeshwari Mata Ki Aarti — Sun Meri Devi Parvatavasni, lyrics and meaning
'Sun Meri Devi Parvatavasni' is the traditional folk aarti of Maa Vindhyavasini (Vindhyachal, Mirzapur). It also mentions the famous folk tale of the devotee Dhyanu and Akbar.
In Navratri and on Friday evenings — along with Jai Ambe Gauri and Vaishno Mata aarti.
Sun meri devi parvatavasni, koi tera par na paya ।
Pan supari dhvaja nariyal, le teri bhent charhaya ॥
O Devi who dwells on the mountain, hear my prayer — no one has found the limit of your glory. I have brought you offerings of paan, supari, a flag and a coconut.
Suva choli tere ang viraje, kesar tilak lagaya ।
Nange pag man akbar aya, sone ka chhatra charhaya ॥
A green (parrot-coloured) choli adorns your body and a saffron tilak is on your forehead. The folk tale says even Emperor Akbar came barefoot to your court and offered a golden canopy.
Unche parvat banyo devalay, niche shahar basaya ।
Satyug dwapar treta madhye, kaliyug raj savaya ॥
Your temple is built on a high mountain, with a town below. Your glory was there in Satyug, Treta and Dwapar too, and in Kaliyug your reign is even greater.
Dhup dip naivedya arti, mohan bhog lagaya ।
Dhyanu bhagat maiya tere gun gaya, manavanchhit phal paya ॥
With dhoop, deep, naivedya and aarti, sweet bhog has been offered. Mother, the devotee Dhyanu sang your virtues and received the fruit he desired.
Sun meri devi parvatavasni, koi tera par na paya ॥
The aarti closes with the first line again — O mountain-dwelling Mother, your glory is boundless.
The paath of Vindhyeshwari Mata Ki Aarti is complete.
