On the third night of Navratri,
Mounted on a tiger majestically,
Crescent moon on forehead be.

And is also symbolic of bravery,
Yellow colour of the third day be,
Vivacious, energizing everybody.

From the individual’s heart wholly,
And instills hope and faith certainly,
Dispels spirits and all evil energies.

And keep away negative energies,

First three days of Durga puja truly,

Removes all their afflictions swiftly,
Her bell sound kills demons truly,
For devotees to lead life peacefully.

Conclude the prayer with arti,
Praying to her to shower infinitely,
Blessings for welfare of family.

In this form she is ever ready,
For war with her weapons amply.

Arti

जय माँ चन्द्रघण्टा सुख धाम। पूर्ण कीजो मेरे काम॥
चन्द्र समाज तू शीतल दाती। चन्द्र तेज किरणों में समाती॥
मन की मालक मन भाती हो। चन्द्रघण्टा तुम वर दाती हो॥
सुन्दर भाव को लाने वाली। हर संकट में बचाने वाली॥
हर बुधवार को तुझे ध्याये। श्रद्दा सहित तो विनय सुनाए॥
मूर्ति चन्द्र आकार बनाए। शीश झुका कहे मन की बाता॥
पूर्ण आस करो जगत दाता। कांचीपुर स्थान तुम्हारा॥
कर्नाटिका में मान तुम्हारा। नाम तेरा रटू महारानी॥
भक्त की रक्षा करो भवानी।
