Tumi Deva Niranjana Tumi Prajapati

Garbha Stuti

1

tumi deba nirañjana tumi prajāpati
tumi deba maheśwara tumi sarba-gati

O Lord, You are untouched by matter. You are the destination of all. You are Brahma. You are Siva.

2

tumi candra tumi sūrja tumi tārā-gān
tumi indra baruṇa tumi hutāśa paban

You are Candra. You are Surya. You are the stars. You are Indra. You are Varuna. You are Agni, the purifier, who eats what is offered in the fire.

3

daśa-dik pāla tumi sabāra kāran ̣
tumi dibā-rātra tumi daṇḍa praharan ̣

You are the protector of the ten directions. You are the cause of all. You are day and night. You hold a club as Your weapon.

4

tumi japa tumi tapa tumi yajña dān
tumi joga tumi bhoga tumi brahma-jñān

You are japa. You are austerity. You are yajna. You are charity. You are yoga. You are pleasure. You are spiritual knowledge.

5

sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya tumi sei nārāyan
̣ tomāra nidrāya nidrā jagile jāgaran ̣

You are Narayana. You are the creator, maintainer, and destroyer of the worlds. When You sleep, the worlds sleep. When You wake, the worlds wake.

6

nirguṇa nirlepa tumi kaile garbha-bās
bhakta-batsala tumi karile prakāś

You are untouched by matter. You are untouched by the three modes. Because You love Your devotees, You have now entered a mother's womb.

7

mohiyā ta ' kaṁsa māra manuṣa śarīre
pṛthivīra bhāra hara māriyā asure

To kill Kamsa and the demons, and the relieve the earth of her burden, You have now appeared in a humanlike form.

8

eta bali brahmādi deba praṇāma kari
cali gelā deba-gaṇa jāra jei pure

After speaking these words, Brahma and the demigods bowed down to offer respects. Then they returned to their cities.
