SUMMARY:Lalita Sasti : Appearance of Sri Lalita Devi
DESCRIPTION: \n(1) I offer pranama unto the haughty Sri Lalita-devi who engages in wiping away the glittering drops of perspiration from the lotus feet of Sri Radha and Madhava\, who is perpetually immersed in the most elevated\, intimate mellows of divine love\, and who is the charming repository of qualities such as beauty\, sweetness\, and gravity.\n\n(2) I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi whose beautiful face mocks the brilliance of the full moon\, whose eyes are ever-restless like those of a startled doe\, who is famous for her extraordinary expertise in the art of dressing Srimati Radhika\, and who is the repository of unlimited feminine qualities.\n \n(3) I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi whose limbs are adorned with a blouse as brilliantly colored as the multi-colored tail-feather of an ecstatically-dancing peacock\, whose hair partition is decorated with shimmering red vermillion\, who wears various necklaces and other jeweled ornaments\, and whose upper body is beautifully adorned with an immensely attractive bodice. Her golden complexion defeats that of even gorocana (a bright yellow pigment employed in painting\, dyeing\, and tilaka) and she possesses innumerable good qualities.\n\n(4) I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi\, the charming treasure-house of all good qualities\, who instructs Srimati Radhika in this way: “O Kalankini (unchaste one)! Radhe! Listen to my beneficial words! Vrajendra-nandana is very guileful. Don’t display Your mood of gentle submission to Him; instead\, in all circumstances always be contrary.”\n\n5) I offer pranama unto the abode of all good qualities\, the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi\, who upon hearing Sri Krsna speak even a few crafty words to Srimati Radhika\, immediately becomes furious and embarrasses Krsna by speaking sarcastic words such as\, “You are so truthful and simple-hearted\, and such a chaste lover!”\n\n6) I offer pranama unto the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi\, who possesses the aggregate of divine qualities. She is the receptacle for Srimati Yasoda-devi’s parental affection\, the guru of all the sakhis who instructs them on the matter of friendship\, and the very life of both Srimati Radhika and the younger brother of Baladeva.\n\n7) I offer pranama unto the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi\, the treasure-house of all good qualities. Upon seeing any young maiden anywhere in Vraja and discerning that she is inclined towards her priya-sakhi Srimati  Radhika\, Lalita immediately fulfils all of that maiden’s internal desires and satisfies her completely.\n\n8) I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi\, the embodiment of all divine virtues and the foremost of the sakhis of Gokula. Her primary task is providing enjoyment for Sri Radha-Govinda by arranging for Them to meet\, and she has more longing to perform this merry task than she does to enjoy the entirety of other types of festivals.\n\n(9) If a person with a cheerful and pure heart recites this astaka in praise of Lalita-devi\, who is superbly ornamented with the qualities of beauty\, grace and charm\, Srimati Radhika\, the effulgent wish-fulfilling creeper in the family of Vrshabanu Maharaja\, affectionately draws that person toward Her and adopts her among Her group of sakhis.\n\n\n\n\n(1)\nradha-mukunda-pada-sambhava-gharma-bindu-\nnirmanchanopakarani-krta-deha-laksam\nuttunga-sauhrda-visesa-vasat pragalbham\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n(2)\nraka-sudha-kirana-mandala-kanti-dandi-vaktra-\nsriyam cakita-caru-camuru-netram\nradha-prasadhana-vidhana-kala-prasiddham\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(3)\nlasyollasad-bhujaga-satru-patatra-citra-patt\namsukabharana-kanculikancitangim\ngorocana-ruci-vigarhana-gaurimanam\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(4)\ndhurte vrajendra-tanaye tanu susthu-vamyam\nma daksina bhava kalankini laghavaya\nradhe giram srnu hitam iti siksayantim\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(5)\nradham abhi vraja-pateh krtam atmajena\nkutam manag api vilokya vilohitaksim\nvag-bhangibhis tam acirena vilajjayantim\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(6)\nvatsalya-vrnda-vasatim pasupala-rajnyah\nsakhyanusiksana-kalasu gurum sakhinam\nradha-balavaraja-jivita-nirvisesam\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(7)\nyam kam api vraja-kule vrsabhanu-jayah\npreksya sva-paksa-padavim anurudhyamanam\nsadyas tad-ista-ghatanena krtarthayantim\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(8)\nradha-vrajendra-suta-sangama-ranga-caryam\nvaryam viniscitavatim akhilotsavebhyah\ntam gokula-priya-sakhi-nikuramba-mukhyam\ndevim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami\n\n(9)\nnandann amuni lalita-guna-lalitani\npadyani yah pathati nirmala-drstir astau\npritya vikarsati janam nija-vrnda-madhye\ntam kirtida-pati-kulojjvala-kalpa-valli\n\nFrom:  Radha Mukunda Pada Sambhava – Lalitastakam\, Author: Rupa Goswami\, Book Name: Stavamala\n\n\n\n  \n
