This hymn is a devotional description of offering worship to Goddess Durga during the autumn festival (Sharad season). It begins with the devotee hearing that the Mother, in her ten-armed form, is present, inspiring immediate reverent action to establish the idol and perform the worship. The second verse recounts how Tarak (a disciple or attendant) saw the Mother and instructed that she be worshipped in her Dashabhuja (ten-armed) form. On Mahashtami, the great day of worship, the ritual was performed with a hundred attendants accompanying it, symbolizing grandeur and devotion. The third verse reflects the devotee’s personal vision of the Mother as the compassionate and merciful one, residing even in humble huts, ever ready to bless the helpless. She is praised as Sharada Mani, the jewel among mothers, highlighting her nurturing and protective qualities. The final verse conveys the awe-inspiring power of Durga: her proclamation shakes the heavens, and even the great yogi Shri Ramakrishna, as an ardent devotee, offered his worship to her. The hymn thus blends devotion, admiration, and surrender, celebrating the Mother as both compassionate nurturer and mighty cosmic force.
