Shmashāna Sādhana

Beginning of all
Creation, protection and destruction - you are

The highest reality
Time who will devour all
All arise from her
The divinity itself

The origin of all things
The Primordial One
Dark and formless
Ineffable and inconceivable

Vicious, slayer of spirits
Supreme mistress of the universe
And it’s elements

In the cremation-ground
Naked, and with dishevelled hair
Intently meditates
With each recitation an offering
A share of his energy
Thousand flowers seed
A great poet - ruler of the earth

The one who conveys death, destruction
And the consuming aspects of reality

Young and beautiful
A gentle smile
Gestures to dispel fear
Offering boons
Distillation of divine wrath
Goddess of salvation
Triumph over death
Creatrix and Destructress of worlds

The one who conveys death, destruction
And the consuming aspects of reality
