  2. अनाथ नाथे अम्बे करुणा विस्तारी Anath Nathe Ambe Karuna Vistari

    Mother Ambe, protector of those with no one else, spread your compassion over me.

    https://sadguruaniruddhabapu.com/post/english-translation-of-durge-durghata-bhaari-aarti-english-mahishasuramardini

    'Anath-nathe' is a title, 'lord of the lordless', addressed to the goddess.

  3. वारी वारी जन्म मरणांते वारी Vari Vari Janma Maranante Vari

    Free me, free me, free me from the cycle of birth and death.

    https://www.sanatan.org/mr/a/610.html

    'Vari' appears three times in one line as emphasis, not as three different words.

  4. हारी पडलो आता संकट निवारी Hari Padalo Aata Sankat Nivari

    I am beaten. Now take this trouble away.

  5. जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी Jai Devi Jai Devi Mahishasuramathini

    Victory to the goddess, victory to the goddess, who destroyed the demon Mahishasura.

    https://sadguruaniruddhabapu.com/post/english-translation-of-durge-durghata-bhaari-aarti-english-mahishasuramardini

    This text reads 'Mahishasuramathini'. Other printed texts read 'mardini' or 'mathani'. All three are attested and point to the same act.

  6. सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी Suravar Eeshvar Varade Tarak Sanjivani

    You who grant boons to the highest gods, who rescue us and give us new life.

    https://sadguruaniruddhabapu.com/post/english-translation-of-durge-durghata-bhaari-aarti-english-mahishasuramardini

    'Sanjivani' is the name of the herb that restores the dead to life, used here as a title for her.

  7. त्रिभुवन-भुवनी पाहता तुज ऐसी नाही Tribhuvan-bhuvani Pahata Tuj Aisi Nahi

    Look through all three worlds and there is no one like you.

    https://sadguruaniruddhabapu.com/post/english-translation-of-durge-durghata-bhaari-aarti-english-mahishasuramardini

    A real variant exists here: several editions read 'tujavin bhuvani', which changes the sense to 'in the world without you'.

  8. चारी श्रमले परन्तु न बोलवे काही Chari Shramale Parantu Na Bolave Kahi

    All four Vedas wore themselves out trying, and still could say nothing adequate about you.

    https://www.sanatan.org/mr/a/610.html

    'Chari', 'the four', is shorthand for the four Vedas.

  9. साही विवाद करिता पडले प्रवाही Sahi Vivad Karita Padale Pravahi

    The six schools of philosophy argued it out and were simply swept away in the current.

    https://www.sanatan.org/mr/a/610.html

    'Sahi', 'the six', means the six darshanas. Lines 8 and 9 together say that scripture and philosophy both failed where devotion succeeds.

  10. ते तू भक्तालागी पावसि लवलाही Te Tu Bhaktalagi Pavasi Lavalahi

    Yet for your devotee you come at once.

  14. क्लेशांपासुनि सोडवि तोडी भवपाशा Kleshampasuni Sodavi Todi Bhavapasha

    Release them from their suffering and cut the ropes that bind them to this world.

  16. नरहरी तल्लिन झाला पदपंकजलेशा Narahari Tallin Jhala Padapankajalesha

    Narahari has lost himself in the smallest speck of dust at your lotus feet.

    https://sadguruaniruddhabapu.com/post/english-translation-of-durge-durghata-bhaari-aarti-english-mahishasuramardini

    The composer's signature line, deliberately self-diminishing: not the feet, not even the dust on them, but the least particle of that dust.

  17. जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी Jai Devi Jai Devi Mahishasuramathini

    Victory to the goddess, victory to the goddess, who destroyed the demon Mahishasura.
