Sita Stuti (Ode In Praise Of Sita)

RAMA:
Oh! Divine woman,
Consort of the supreme Brahma,
You are the incarnation
of the primordial sound OM,
You have indeed manifested with several names,
Aditi, Usha, Pusha,
Wakk, Mahi, Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge)…

"Prithvi", the Mother Earth
'Laxmi', the Goddess of auspicious inspirations,
'Gauri', the consort of Lord Shiva,
'Janaki", the consort of Lord Rama,
Katyayini, Manasa, Durga, Kali,
Chandi, Vimala, Maheshwari
Bhuvaneshwari, Subhadra,
Tulaja, Amba ,Jogeshwari,
Chaturshringi, Saptashringi,
Renuka ,Mahalaxmi.
Meenakshi, Vaishnodevi,
And many other powerful incarnations are but you
Oh! Divine woman….
Consort of supreme Brahma, I pay obeisance to you.

You have infinite number of names,
You dwell in the several
Beautiful forms of all women.

You are endowed with
All the nature's wealth.
The cosmos
Is but your expression
Oh! Divine woman
Consort of supreme Brahma,I pay obeisance to you.

You are infinite in time
You are "Swayam-bhu"
All poetry and sculptures will fall short
For you are your own effulgence.

The infinite space
And the countless stars
It holds
Are but your sparkling ornaments
You are indeed the mother of
The evolution of life on earth.
Oh! Divine woman
Consort of supreme Brahma,I pay obeisance to you.

Shakti (Energy), Bhakti (devotion),
Mukti (salvation),
Are the three Gunas (virtues)
That adorn you,
Oh! Sita , the empowered woman,
Please come
And reside in my heart
Oh! Divine woman
Consort of supreme Brahma,I pay obeisance to you.

*Swayam-bhu" means self-manifested
