Origin & Story

Composed by Adi Shankaracharya · Adi Shankaracharya · 8th century CE

The Annapurna Stotram is Adi Shankaracharya's hymn to the Goddess of nourishment enshrined at Kashi, where she is worshipped beside Vishwanath as the Mother who feeds even Lord Shiva. In ornate verses, each closing 'Bhiksham dehi… Mata Annapurneshwari', he begs of her not riches but food, knowledge and dispassion — and in the final verses surrenders utterly: 'My mother is Parvati, my father Maheshwara, the devotees of Shiva my kin, and the three worlds my home.'

✦ As told in scripture

It is told at Kashi that Annapurna feeds every pilgrim who comes to her, so that none in her city goes hungry; her devotees hold that to recite this stotram with faith is to be assured that the home and the soul will never lack for nourishment.

The Annapurna Stotram is a twelve-verse hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya in praise of Mata Annapurna, the Goddess of food and nourishment enshrined at Kashi (Varanasi). Its verses adore her as the giver of food, knowledge and liberation, ending with the famous prayer 'Annapurne Sadapurne… bhiksham dehi cha Parvati.'

Annapurna ('she who is full of food') is a form of Goddess Parvati, the consort of Shiva, worshipped as the Mother who feeds all beings. At Kashi she is shown offering food from a golden ladle to Lord Shiva himself, teaching that even the Lord receives sustenance from the Mother.

It is recited especially on Annapurna Jayanti (the full moon of Margashirsha), during Navratri, and daily before cooking or eating. Many keep it in the kitchen and recite it while preparing food, in gratitude for the Mother's gift of nourishment.

Though Annapurna is the giver of food, the stotram's refrain 'bhiksham dehi' (grant me alms) asks for more than food — in the eleventh verse the devotee begs for jnana and vairagya, knowledge and dispassion, so that the Mother who fills the body may also nourish the soul.
