📜 FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION – SHRI KALIKASHTAKAM
1

I meditate upon Goddess Kali,
Adorned with a garland of severed heads dripping with blood,
With terrifying roar, fierce fangs, and dreadful form,
Dwelling in cremation grounds, hair untied, intoxicated with Mahakaal.

2

Holding a sword and severed head in her left hands,
Granting boons and fearlessness with her right,
Though slender, her heavy bosom bends forward,
Blood flows from her mouth as she smiles gently.

3

Adorned with corpse-earrings, holding a ghostly hand,
Wearing a single girdle,
Standing upon Shiva in the form of a corpse,
She resounds through all four directions with her presence.

4

Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh worshipped Kali,
Surpassing the three gunas, she became supreme.
Her true form — without beginning or end —
Even the gods cannot fully comprehend.

5

She deludes the universe, empowers speech,
Nourishes devotees and destroys enemies,
Can paralyze words or uproot negativity —
Yet the gods cannot grasp her complete form.

6

She grants heaven, fulfills desires like a wish-fulfilling tree,
Bestowing rightful outcomes to devotees,
Making their lives meaningful —
Yet her true form remains beyond gods.

7

Intoxicated with divine bliss, deeply attached to her devotees,
She manifests constantly in pure hearts,
Cleansed through japa, meditation, and worship —
Still her essence remains beyond comprehension.

8

The source of pure consciousness and bliss,
Smiling softly, radiant like millions of autumn moons,
Illuminating the hearts of sages and poets —
Her supreme form remains unfathomable even to gods.
