ते ध्यानयोगानुगत अपश्यन्
त्वामेव देवीं स्वगुणैर्निगूढाम् ।
त्वामेव शक्तिः परमेश्वरस्य
माम् पाहि सर्वेश्वरी मोक्षदात्री ।।1।।

देवात्म शक्तिः श्रुति वाक्य गीता
महर्षिलोकस्य पुरः प्रसन्ना ।
गुहा परम् व्योम सद प्रतिष्ठा
माम् पाहि सर्वेश्वरी मोक्षदात्री ।।2।।

परास्य शक्तिहि विविधैव सूर्यसे
श्वेताश्व वाक्योथितदेवि दुर्गे ।
स्वाभाविकी ज्ञान बल क्रीया ते
माम् पाहि सर्वेश्वरी मोक्षदात्री ।।3।।

देवात्म शब्देन शिवात्म भूता
यत् कूर्म वायव्य वचो विवृत्य
त्वम् पाश विच्छेद करि प्रसिद्धा
माम् पाहि सर्वेश्वरी मोक्षदात्री ।।4।।

त्वम् ब्रह्म पुच्छा विविधा मयूरी
ब्रह्मा प्रतिष्ठासि उपदिष्ट गीता
ज्ञान स्वरूपा आत्मतया किलानाम्
माम् पाहि सर्वेश्वरी मोक्षदात्री ।।5।।

Carrying the breath along the region of Vayu, one should contemplate on Isvara, the omniscient. The Yogi does not meet his death through Vayu.) ( Naga, Kurma, Krikara, Devadatta and Dhananjaya are the five sub-Pranas; Kurma performs the function of opening the eyes

Thanks to Sri Krishnamurthy sastrigal to remind me to paradevada once again. Because he is the one written manually by hand this sloka in note book with pencil in Kancheepuram (Tank Bank)

Sir the 3rd sloka is wrongly given as sooryase when it should be srooyase and the mistake is in all language versions. Please correct it
