Devi Sukta Epic Vedic Hymn • The Chant of the Goddess

This sacred hymn, from the Rig Veda, is the Devi Sukta: the song of the Goddess herself. Revealed by Vak Ambhrini, the female sage, it is the only hymn in the Vedas where the Divine speaks in the first person. Where the Sarva Mangala invokes the Mother's blessing, this chant is the Mother declaring her own power. It is the mantra of the sovereign feminine: Aham rudrebhir vasubhish charami - I move with the Rudras and the Vasus Aham adityair uta vishvadevaih - I move with the Adityas and all the gods Aham mitra varunobha bibharmi - I support both Mitra and Varuna Aham indragni aham ashvinobha - I support Indra and Agni, and the twin Ashvins Aham rashtri sangamani vasunam - I am the Queen, gathering all treasures Chikitushi prathama yajniyanam - the first of all who offer worship Tam ma deva vyadadhuh purutra - the gods placed me in many places Bhuristhatram bhury aveshayantim - entering many dwellings Aham somam ahanasam bibharmi - I hold Soma, the drink of life Aham tvashtaram uta pushanam bhagam - I hold Tvashtar, Pushan and Bhaga Aham dadhami dravinam havishmate - I give wealth to the one who offers Supravye yajamanaya sunvate - to the generous sacrificer who presses the juice Mayaa so annam atti yo vipashyati - through me all who see eat food Yah praniti ya im shrinoty uktam - all who breathe and hear what is spoken Amantavo mam ta upa kshiyanti - those who do not know me waste away Shrudhi shruta shraddhivam te vadami - hear, O heard one, I speak to you with faith Aham eva svayam idam vadami - I alone declare this myself Jushtam devebhir uta manushebhih - beloved by gods and by humans Yam kamaye tam tam ugram krinomi - whom I love, I make powerful Tam brahmanam tam rishim tam sumedham - that one a brahmin, a rishi, a sage Aham rudraya dhanur a tanomi - I draw the bow for Rudra Brahmadvishe sharave hantava u - to slay the hater of sacred knowledge Aham janaya samadam krinomi - I make war among the peoples Aham dyavaprithivi avivesha - I have entered heaven and earth Aham suve pitaram asya murdhan - I give birth to the father on this head Mama yonir apsv antah samudre - my womb is in the waters, in the ocean Tato vi tishthe bhuvan anu vishva - from there I spread through all worlds Utamum dyam varshmanopa sprishami - and touch that heaven with my stature Aham eva vata iva pravami - I blow forth like the wind Arabhamana bhuvanani vishva - embracing all the worlds Paro diva para ena prithivya - beyond heaven, beyond this earth Etavati mahina sam babhuva - so great is my majesty Aham rashtri sangamani vasunam - I am the Queen, gathering all treasures Om - the sound of all that is, fading into silence When to listen: During Navaratri, to honor the nine nights of the Goddess When you need to remember your own power and sovereignty When you feel small, silenced, or unseen To connect with the sacred feminine within and around you It is not a distant goddess speaking.
