4th dhyana slogam
This verse is gifted to us by Adhi-shankaracharya
During Japa, I meditate on Devi ambika, who smears holy kumkum, who marks her foreheard with scented-musk, who graces with soft smiling face, whose hands hold bow and arrow, pasha and angusha. Decorating herself with Red garland, hibiscus flowers and ornaments to enhance her radiance, she attracts the entire universe (with no exception).
Third slogam
(meditating on her form) I meditate on Bhavani, who is seated on lotus with a beaming smile. Whose eyes are like lotus petals. Bhavani who is clothed in silky golden sheen, who herself radiates like gold, Who is so exquisitely dressed, holding a glittering golden lotus in her hand. (meditating on qualities) I meditate on bhavani, who eternally plays the role of 'protector', who inclines to be attentive/listen to the needs of devotees (meditating on her aspects ) I Mediate on her who is worshipped by all suras (gods), who is the essence of all 'knowledge', who is the embodiment of boons, personification of peace and she who grants every kind of wealth.
Second Dhayana slogam
These were Lord Dattatreya's work in praise of Goddess Bhavani
I meditate on devi bhavanee, who shines red like rising sun, whose eyes emits eternal waves of mercy. Who holds pasa and angusa in her hands to bind and control souls (every living non-living entity). Who holds bows of sugarcane and arrows of flowers. Devi who is surrounded by ashta sidhis, who shines like streak of ray, I meditate upon such exalted divinity of devi bhavanee .
First dhyana slogam- English meaning
First one was blessed by vaak-devis glorifying the goddess.
I am meditating on devi, Ambika, whose shines bright red like rising sun's vermillion.
She with three eyes,
who wears bright ruby and
moon on her crown,
Broad shoulders with
enchanting smile,
Her one hand holds honey brimming in a rich cup made of precious stones.
Other hand has red flowers.
Beautiful divine mother places her red feet in the pot filled with jewels
