Aparadha Kshama Stotram(Song with Lyrics)
Here the devotee asks for forgiveness. He says I know not Philosophy or Religion
and I commit a lot of sins and please forgive me !
Aparadha Sahasrani
Kiryante Har nisam maya
Dasoyam ithi mam mathva
Kshamsva Parameshwari
I commit a lot of sins
Knowlingly or unknowingly
Consider me as your servant
And forgive my sins, O lord Parameshwari!
Avahanam na janami
Na janami visarjanam
Poojam chaiva na janami
Kshamyatham Parameshwari
I know not how to invoke Thee
Nor the concluding rites of Puja
I know not how to worship Thee
Please have mercy on me !
Mantra heenam Kriya heenam
Bhakti heenam Sureshwari
Yat poojitham maya devi
Paripoornam thadasthu me
O Mother I know not Mantra
Nor the path of Action
Nor Devotion's way great
O Goddess of Sura's
And so whatever worship I do
Please make it complete!
Anjanadvismruthesronya
Yanyonyam Adhikam Kritham
Tat Sarvam Kshamayam Devi
Praseeda Parameshwaree
I committed sins because of,
Lack of wisdom, memory, knowledge
And spurred my bad actions
Forgive all those sins
And be satisfied with me !
