The Glory of Naradeshvari

Verse 1 (skanda.7.347.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि पश्चिमे नारदेश्वरीम्। नारदेश्वरसांनिध्ये सर्वदौर्भाग्यनाशनीम्

īśvara uvāca| tato gacchenmahādevi paścime nāradeśvarīm| nāradeśvarasānnidhye sarvadaurbhāgyanāśanīm

Ishvara said: O Great Goddess, one should then go west to the goddess Naradeshvari, in the presence of Naradeshvara, destroyer of all misfortune.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.347.2)

या नारी पूजयेद्देवीं तृतीयायां समाहिता। तदन्वये न दौर्भाग्ययुक्ता नारी भविष्यति

yā nārī pūjayeddevīṁ tṛtīyāyāṁ samāhitā| tadanvaye na daurbhāgyayuktā nārī bhaviṣyati

Whatever woman, with a composed mind, worships that goddess on the third lunar day — in her lineage, no woman shall ever be afflicted with misfortune.
