The Glory of Raivataka Rajabhattaraka (Revanta)

Verse 1 (skanda.7.160.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि राजभट्टारकं परम्। रैवन्तकं सूर्यपुत्रमश्वारूढं महाबलम्

īśvara uvāca| tato gacchenmahādevi rājabhaṭṭārakaṁ param| raivantakaṁ sūryaputramaśvārūḍhaṁ mahābalam

Ishvara said: Then, O great Goddess, one should go to the supreme Rajabhattaraka, Raivantaka (Revanta), son of the Sun, mounted on a horse, of great strength.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.160.2)

संस्थितं क्षेत्रमध्ये तु सावित्र्या नैर्ऋते प्रिये। तं दृष्ट्वा मानवो देवि सर्वापद्भ्यो विमुच्यते

saṁsthitaṁ kṣetramadhye tu sāvitryā nairṛte priye| taṁ dṛṣṭvā mānavo devi sarvāpadbhyo vimucyate

O beloved, he abides in the middle of the sacred field, to the southwest of Savitri's site; O Goddess, seeing him, a man is freed from every calamity.

Verse 3 (skanda.7.160.3)

रविवारेण सप्तम्यां यस्तं पूजयते नरः। तस्याऽन्वयेऽपि नो देवि दरिद्री जायते नरः

ravivāreṇa saptamyāṁ yastaṁ pūjayate naraḥ| tasyā'nvaye'pi no devi daridrī jāyate naraḥ

Whatever man worships him on the seventh lunar day falling on a Sunday, O Goddess, in his lineage no man is ever born poor.

Verse 4 (skanda.7.160.4)

तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन तमेवाराधयेन्मनाक्। निर्विघ्नं क्षेत्रवासार्थं राजा वाऽश्वविवृद्धये

tasmātsarvaprayatnena tamevārādhayenmanāk| nirvighnaṁ kṣetravāsārthaṁ rājā vā'śvavivṛddhaye

Therefore one should worship him even briefly with every effort — a king, for an untroubled dwelling in the sacred field, or for the increase of his horses.
