श्री अनंताची आरती (जय श्रीअनंता लक्ष्मीकांता)

(Ananta Aarti)

Also known as jaya srianamta laksmikamta arati ovalu

A Marathi arati for the Ananta Chaturdashi vow, its refrain calling on Ananta the lord of Lakshmi as the lamps are turned before him. The verses keep to the observance rather than to the god's exploits. The fourteenth day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada is named as the day on which the vow is kept, and the arati says that Ananta comes running when trouble falls on those devoted to him. What the vow brings is stated plainly and domestically: pleased, Ananta gives children and wealth. It belongs with the household Marathi aratis rather than with the Sanskrit stotras beside it — short lines, a returning refrain, and the practical shape of a rite that families keep once in the year.

जय श्रीअनंता लक्ष्मीकांता आरती ओवाळू।
भक्तां संकट पडतां धावे अनंत कनवाळू॥
भाद्रपदमासी शुक्ल चतुर्दशी तव व्रत नेमाने।
दुकूलदोरक करुनि पूजिति अनंत नामानें॥१॥
नानापरिची पुष्पें द्रव्ये तुजला अर्पीती।
षोडशपूजा करूनी ब्राह्मण संतर्पण करिती॥२॥
अपूप वायन दंपतिपूजन त्या दिवशी करिती।
अनंत सन्तुष्टोनि देती संतति संपत्ती॥३॥
रामा धर्मे आचरीतां व्रत क्लेशांतुनि सुटला।
कौंडिण्याने पुजितां तुजला उद्धरिले त्याला॥४॥
मोरेश्वरसुत वासुदेव हा तिष्ठत सेवेसी।
संकटकाळी रक्षी अनंता आपुल्या दासासी॥५॥
॥ इति संपूर्णंम् ॥
