Na Taato Na Maata | Bhairavi Stavan | Sounds of Isha | Shri Adi Shankara #navratri #devi

Bhairavi Stavan is a heartfelt hymn of total surrender to the Divine Mother, Bhairavi written by Sri Adishankara. Each verse is an intimate confession — the seeker admits to knowing no rituals, possessing no spiritual accomplishments, and holding no other refuge but Her.

In this moving rendition by Sounds of Isha, the chant becomes a plea from the depths of human vulnerability, seeking Her grace through life’s joys and storms, certainties and uncertainties. Bhairavi Stavan is not merely a prayer — it is a soul’s unfiltered cry to the Mother, offering itself as it is, without pretense.

Lyrics and Translation:

Na tāto, na mātā, na bandhur na dātā
Na putro, na putrī, na bhr̥tyo, na bhartā
Na jāyā na vidyā, na vṛttir mamaiva
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

No father, no mother, no kin, no benefactor;
No son, no daughter, no servant, no husband;
Neither wife, nor learning, nor the means of livelihood—
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.

Na jānāmi dhānam, na cha dhyānayogam
Na jānāmi tantram, na cha stotramaṃtram
Na jānāmi pūjām, na cha nyāsayogam
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

I know not wealth, nor the path of meditation and yoga;
I know not tantra, nor the recitation of hymns and mantras;
I know not the ways of worship, nor the rites of consecration—
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.

Prajesham, Ramesham, Mahesham, Suresham
Dineśam, Niśītheshvaram vā kadācit
Na jānāmi chānyat sadā aham śaraṇye
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

I know no other deities, whether the lords of the sun or moon—
I turn to none but You.
At all times I take refuge in You alone,
O Bhairavi, my sole sanctuary.

Bhavābdhāv apāre, mahā duḥkhabhīru
Papāt prakāmī, pralo bhī pramattah
Ku-saṃsārapāśa-prabaddhaḥ sadā aham
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

Adrift in the boundless ocean of worldly existence, I tremble before its vast sorrows;
Enslaved by desire, intoxicated by greed,
Bound fast in the fetters of this false world—
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.

Na jānāmi puṇyam, na jānāmi tīrtham
Na jānāmi muktim, layam vā kadācit
Na jānāmi bhaktiṃ vratam vāpi mātṛ
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

I know not virtue, nor the sanctity of pilgrimages;
I know not liberation, nor the stillness of dissolution;
I know not devotion, nor the vows of discipline—
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.

Vivāde, viṣāde, pramāde, pravāse
Jale chānale parvate śatrumadhye
Araṇye, śaraṇye sada māṃ prapāhi
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

In quarrels, in despair, in folly, in exile;
In water, in fire, on the mountain, in the midst of enemies;
In the wilderness, in forsaken places—O sheltering one, guard me always;
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.

Anātho, daridro, jarā-roga-yukto
Mahākṣīṇa-dīnaḥ sadā jāḍya-vaktraḥ
Vipattau praviṣṭaḥ praṇaṣṭaḥ sadā aham
Gatis tvam, gatis tvam, tvamekā Bhairavi

I am weakened, poor, weighed down by age and illness;
Worn out, diminished, my face clouded with sorrow;
Ever falling into misfortune and loss—
You alone are my refuge, O Bhairavi.
