Argala Stotram

 

Argala Stotram Introduction

The Argala Stotram is a powerful hymn dedicated to Goddess Durga, often recited during the Chandi Path or Durga Saptashati. The stotram is composed of verses that invoke the blessings of the Goddess in her various forms, asking for protection, prosperity, victory, and the removal of obstacles. The word “Argala”refers to a “bolt” or “lock,” and just as a lock needs to be opened to gain access to something valuable, the recitation of the Argala Stotram is believed to unlock the blessings and grace of the Divine Mother.

oṃ asya śrīargalāstotramantrasya viṣṇurṛṣiḥ,anuṣṭup chandaḥ,
śrīmahālakṣmīrdevatā, śrījagadambāprītaye saptaśatīpāṭhāṅgatvena jape viniyogaḥ..
oṃ namaścaṇḍikāyai..
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca
Oṃ, for the recitation of this Argala Stotram mantra, the seer (Rishi) is Viṣṇu, the meter (Chandaḥ) is Anuṣṭup, the deity (Devata) is Śrī Mahālakṣmī, and it is used in the ritual recitation of the Saptaśatī for pleasing Śrī Jagadambā.
