Durga Saptashati — Chapter 11, Verse 27

Devyah Stuti (Narayani Stuti)

हिनस्ति दैत्यतेजांसि स्वनेनापूर्य या जगत् । सा घण्टा पातु नो देवि पापेभ्योऽनः सुतानिव ॥ २७ ॥

hinasti daityatejāṁsi svanenāpūrya yā jagat sā ghaṇṭā pātu no devi pāpebhyo’naḥ sutāniva

Translation

May that bell of yours, O Devi, which fills the world with its sound and destroys the might of the daityas, protect us from sins as a mother protects her children.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

देवि! जो अपनी ध्वनि से सम्पूर्ण जगत को व्याप्त करके दैत्यों का तेज नष्ट करता है, वह तुम्हारा घंटा हमारी पापों से वैसे ही रक्षा करे, जैसे माता अपने पुत्रों की करती है।

Commentary

The bell of 9.20, which drained the demons' strength, is now asked to guard against sin. Gita Press explains the simile as a mother guarding her sons from wrongdoing.
