Vanadurgā Prārthanā & Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ
Upon the completion of the inner worship (antaraṅga upāsanā), when the seeker, moved by waves of devotion (bhakti-laharī) and tears of offering (āśru-dāna), completes the pūrṇāhuti; when the circumambulation (pradakṣiṇā) through the Divine Names and Forms of Bhagavatī has reached fulfillment — then the following Durgā Prārthanā and Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī (viśeṣa) Nāmāvalīḥ are to be recited.
Vanadurgā Prārthanā
vanadurgākalpasya dvitīya-paṭalāntargataṃ durgā-prārthanā–śrī-vānadurgā-saptatriṃśatī–sampuṭam
A compilation containing the Vana Durgā Prārthanā and the Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ found within the Second Chapter (Dvitīya Paṭala) of the Vana Durgā Kalpa.
The following passage is drawn from the Vana Durgā Kalpa, Second Paṭala, which describes the worship of Śrī Vanadurgā after the sacred pūrṇāhuti and pradakṣiṇā.
Here, the devotee, filled with humility, offers a prārthanā — a heartfelt prayer seeking forgiveness, fulfillment, and the unceasing grace of Parameśvarī.
Following this prayer appears the Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ, a litany of thirty-seven divine names revealing the many forms and powers of Śrī Vanadurgā Parāmbikā , who dwells in every element as strength, wisdom, and auspicious deliverance.
Together, these verses embody the devotee’s complete surrender and the Goddess’s boundless compassion.
tataḥ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā
praṇamya prārthayed budhaḥ ।
durge durge vanadurge
sarva durga nivāriṇi ।
ajñānato jñānato vā mohād
vā yat kṛtaṃ mayā ।
kṣamyatāṃ deva deveśi
prasīda parameśvari ।
yadyadiṣṭatamaṃ loke
prayaccha mama suvrate ।
varaṃ me dīyatāṃ devi
bhaktasya mama sundari ।
karmaṇā manasā vācā
tuṣṭā’si parameśvari ।
yanmayā prārthitaṃ devi
tat kuruṣva mahāvrate ।
tvat-prasādān mahādevi
śubhaṃ bhavatu me sadā ।
evaṃ prārthya mahādevīṃ
namaskuryāt pṛthak pṛthak ॥
प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा प्रणम्य प्रार्थयेद्बुधः।
दुर्गे दुर्गे वनदुर्गे सर्व दुर्ग निवारिणि॥
अज्ञानतो ज्ञानतो वा मोहाद्वायत्कृतं मया।
क्षम्यतां देव देवेशी प्रसीद परमेश्वरी॥
यद्यदिष्टतमं लोके प्रयच्छ मम सुव्रते।
वरं मे दीयतां देवि भक्तस्य मम सुन्दरि॥
कर्मणा मनसा वाचा तुष्टाऽसि परमेश्वरी।
यन्मया प्रार्थितं देवी तत्कुरुष्व महाव्रते॥
त्वत्प्रासादान्महादेवी शुभं भवतु मे सदा।
एवं प्रार्थ्य महादेवीं नमस्कुर्यात् पृथक् पृथक्॥
