श्री शीतला माता आरती — Word-by-Word Meaning

Mother, victory to Sheetla Mata; primordial light, great queen, the giver of every fruit. Resplendent on a jewelled throne, the white parasol gleaming; Riddhi and Siddhi wave the fly-whisk, your radiant image shining bright. Vishnu stands serving you, Shiva and Brahma serve you; the Vedas and Puranas describe you, yet find no end to your glory. Indra plays the mridang, the Moon the veena in hand; the Sun keeps the rhythm and the sage Narada sings. Bell, conch and shehnai sound, delighting the heart; the devotees perform the aarti, rejoicing at the sight of you. Of the form of Brahman, granter of boons, you are the knower of the three times; you give joy to devotees as mother, father and brother. Whoever fixes the mind upon you in love gains power; he obtains every wish and crosses the ocean of existence. Whoever, tormented by disease, comes to your refuge — the leper gains a pure body and the blind regain their eyes. The barren woman gains a son and poverty is cut away; whoever does not worship you beats his head in regret. You cool and soothe, O Mother, you are the saviour of the world; you create, destroy disease, and are the end of all. Your servant Vichitra folds his hands — hear me, O Mother; grant me your devotion, for nothing else delights me.
