Overview

देवी कोटेश्वरम सुद्धमपपगहनीम कामरूपिणी 
नमामि मुक्तिकमाया देहि मुक्तिं हरप्रिये

Dhumavati "the Smoky One", fearsome old, widow ugly,
Inauspicious, unattractive, as crow, Chaturmas period be,

Augur not well at all according to the Hindu calendar truly,
The Great Void before creation and after dissolution be.

Though Dhumavati is associated with ill-omens largely,
 Her hymn talks of both her positive, negative energy,

She soft-hearted, bestower of boons, great teacher be,
Who reveals the ultimate Wisdom of the universe truly,

Her ugly form teaches to look beyond superficial clearly, 
Seek within, the inner truths, which matters ultimately,

Dhumavati bestow siddhis or the powers extraordinary,
Frees from troubles, grants salvation to the devotee,

Dhumavati also worshipped by individuals does be,
Seeking life partners, for powers, renounce worldly.

She is compared to Nairrti, God of Sickness, Misery,
She Goddess of hunger, thirst, death, despair, poverty.

 Dhumavati is believed to have a bad temper surely, 
Boosts unhappy atmosphere, rife and quarrels truly.

Dhumavati pale, unsteady in gait, brutal in thought be,
Tall in her figure and is dressed in clothes very dirty,

Her earrings discolored, ever in morose, widowed be,
Second birth, on horseless chariot with crow flag be,

She is old with sagging breasts and her eyes red be,
She possession of all, yet endowed with desires fully,

She has a protruding crooked nose, is hungry, thirsty,
Ever quarrelsome, frightening to enemies of devotees,

Her exists after sunset until dark and night does be,
And ends with full sunrise – blesses, liberates truly,

She resides at the home of poor people as Alakshmi,
She is connected with illness or conditions unhealthy,

She the actual cause of other disturbances does be,
Concerned with mental, physical facets of life surely.

Niriti but related with death, bad luck, decay does be,
Of unfulfilled needs, desire, anger, cowardice clearly, 

All the negative aspects that make the life unhappy,
But provides freedom from them to her true devotees.

She was born when gods, demons churned ocean fully,
In search of nectar, given to sage Dussaha as wife truly,

She could not bear any sound or sight which related be,
To anything holy or any kind of pious, virtuous activities,

Sage Dussaha complained to Lord Vishnu accordingly,
Who advised: She his wife, so in ominous places do be, 

If happy she relieves illness and grief of all types fully,
But destroys all happiness, prosperity if she is unhappy,

She appears as Smoke and hence called “Dhumavati”,
She represents an aggressive, assertive aspect of Sati.

Dhumavati guards the Southeast direction undauntedly,
Arose from flames which Sati had jumped into angrily,

But the Pranatosini-Tantra gives yet another story,
Of her consuming Shiv to satisfy her hunger actually,

Shiv asks her to disgorge him, but she refused truly,
So Shiv incensed, curses she in form of a widow be.

Sati is the only Mahavidya having no consort clearly,
Consuming Shiv, destroys male element universally,

She is left with nothing – a horseless chariot only,
And nowhere left to go in the life unquestionably,

Dhumavati linked with sex and in sexual activity be,
Likes to be intoxicated, deified by intoxicated devotee,

Ma Dhumavati has all the abilities to destroy enemy,
Through devotion, seeker gets strength, power truly,

Very few temples devoted to Dhumavati Ma do be, 
Revered in isolated places as cremation grounds be.
