Summary — English
The Shri Devyatharvashirsham is a text in which the gods approach the Goddess and ask who she is, and she replies that she is of the nature of Brahman, the source of the world of Prakriti and Purusha, and that she is all opposites—bliss and non-bliss, knowledge and ignorance, the Veda and the non-Veda—as well as the gods, the elements, and the entire world. The text praises her under many names and forms, including Durga, Mahalakshmi, Kalaratri, Saraswati, and Aditi, and describes her as the power of the Self who deludes the universe and holds the noose, goad, bow and arrow. It explains that because her true form, end, mark and birth are not perceived, she is called the Unknowable, the Endless, the Unperceivable, the Unborn, the One and the Not-One. The text also gives mantras and states that whoever studies this Atharvashirsha obtains the fruit of reciting the five Atharvashirshas, that recitation at various times destroys sins and brings benefits such as mastery of speech and crossing over great difficulties, and that without knowing it one does not obtain the perfection of an installed image even after a hundred lakh recitations.

Desire, the womb, Kamala, the wielder of the thunderbolt, Guha, Hasa, Matarishvan, the cloud, Indra; again Guha, the complete one, through maya; this one is Puruchi, the mother of the universe, the divine knowledge. AI

She is the eight Vasus. She is the eleven Rudras. She is the twelve Adityas. She is all the gods, both those who drink Soma and those who do not. She is the Yatudhanas, the Asuras, the Rakshasas, the Pishachas, the Yakshas and the Siddhas. She is the qualities of sattva, rajas and tamas. She has the forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. She is Prajapati, Indra and the Manus. She is the planets, the constellations and the lights of the stars; she has the form of time such as kalas and kashthas. Her I praise daily — the Goddess who removes sins, who grants enjoyment and liberation, who is endless, victorious, pure, the refuge of all, the giver of auspiciousness, and auspicious herself. AI

Verse 18

আকাশ ও ঈকার-সংযুক্ত, বীঁ ও হোত্র-সমন্বিত, অর্ধচন্দ্রলসিত দেবীর বীজ সর্বার্থসাধক। AI

Verse 20

বাক্‌মায়া ব্রহ্মসূ, তা থেকে ষষ্ঠ বক্ত্র-সংযুক্ত; সূর্য, বামশ্রোত্র ও বিন্দু-সংযুক্ত সপ্তম, তৃতীয় নারায়ণ-মিশ্রিত, বায়ু অধর-যুক্ত; বিচ্‌ ও নবম বর্ণে অর্ণবর্ণ, মহানন্দদায়ক। AI

The maya of speech is the Brahman seed; from it the sixth is joined with the syllable of the face. The sun joined with the left ear and the bindu is the third of the eight. Narayana mixed in, and the wind joined with the lower — the nine-syllable mantra is thus formed, the syllable that grants great bliss. AI

Verse 21
हृत्पुण्डरीकमध्यस्था-म्प्रातस्सूर्यसमप्रभाम् ।

যাঁর স্বরূপ ব্রহ্মা প্রভৃতি জানেন না, তাই তাঁকে অজ্ঞেয়া বলা হয়; যাঁর অন্ত পাওয়া যায় না, তাই তাঁকে অনন্তা বলা হয়; যাঁর লক্ষণ উপলব্ধি করা যায় না, তাই তাঁকে অলক্ষ্যা বলা হয়; যাঁর জন্ম উপলব্ধি করা যায় না, তাই তাঁকে অজা বলা হয়; তিনি একাই সর্বত্র বিদ্যমান, তাই তাঁকে একা বলা হয়; তিনি একাই বিশ্বরূপিণী, তাই তাঁকে নৈকা বলা হয়; এই কারণেই তাঁকে অজ্ঞেয়া, অনন্তা, অলক্ষ্যা, অজা, একা ও নৈকা বলা হয়। AI

Because Brahma and the others do not know her true form, therefore she is called the Unknowable. Because her end is not found, therefore she is called the Endless. Because her mark is not perceived, therefore she is called the Unperceivable. Because her birth is not perceived, therefore she is called the Unborn. She alone exists everywhere, therefore she is called the One. She alone has the form of the universe, therefore she is called the Not-One. Therefore she is proclaimed as the Unknowable, the Endless, the Unperceivable, the Unborn, the One and the Not-One. AI

Verse 24

jñānānā-ñcinmayātītā śūnyānāṃ śūnyasākṣiṇī |
yasyāḥ paratara-nnāsti saiṣā durgā prakīrtitā || 24 ||

মন্ত্রগণের মাতৃকা দেবী, শব্দগণের জ্ঞানরূপিণী, জ্ঞানগণের চিন্ময়াতীত, শূন্যগণের শূন্যসাক্ষিণী; যাঁর চেয়ে পরতর কিছু নেই, তিনিই দুর্গা বলে কীর্তিত। AI

The Goddess is the mother of the mantras, the form of knowledge of words. She is beyond the conscious knowledge of all knowings, the witness of all voids. Since there is nothing higher than her, she is proclaimed as Durga. AI

Verse 25
ता-न्दुर्गा-न्दुर्गमा-न्देवी-न्दुराचारविघातिनीम् ।
नमामि भवभीतो-ऽहं संसारार्णवतारिणीम् ॥ 25 ॥
tā-ndurgā-ndurgamā-ndevī-ndurācāravighātinīm |
namāmi bhavabhīto-'haṃ saṃsārārṇavatāriṇīm || 25 ||

যিনি দুর্গা, যিনি দুর্গমা, যিনি দেবী, যিনি দুরাচার বিনাশিনী, ভবভীত আমি তাঁকে নমস্কার করি, যিনি সংসারসাগর থেকে পার করেন। AI

I, terrified of worldly existence, bow to that Durga, the goddess who is difficult to approach, who destroys evil conduct, and who carries one across the ocean of worldly existence. AI

যে এই অথর্বশীর্ষ অধ্যয়ন করে, সে পঞ্চ অথর্বশীর্ষ জপের ফল লাভ করে। যে এই অথর্বশীর্ষ না জেনে অর্চা স্থাপন করে, সে শত লক্ষ জপ করেও অর্চাসিদ্ধি লাভ করে না। এর পুরশ্চর্যাবিধি শত অষ্টোত্তর (একশো আট) বার স্মৃত। যে দশবার পাঠ করে, সে তৎক্ষণাৎ পাপ থেকে মুক্ত হয়। মহাদেবীর প্রসাদে সে মহাদুর্গা (মহাবিপদ) পার হয়। সায়ংকালে অধ্যয়নকারী দিনে কৃত পাপ নাশ করে। প্রাতঃকালে অধ্যয়নকারী রাত্রে কৃত পাপ নাশ করে। সায়ং ও প্রাতঃ উভয় সময়ে প্রয়োগকারী পাপহীন হয়। নিশীথে চতুর্থ সন্ধ্যায় জপ করলে বাক্সিদ্ধি হয়। নতুন প্রতিমায় জপ করলে দেবতার সান্নিধ্য হয়। প্রাণপ্রতিষ্ঠায় জপ করলে প্রাণের প্রতিষ্ঠা হয়। ভৌমাশ্বিনী (মঙ্গলবার ও অশ্বিনী নক্ষত্র) যোগে মহাদেবীর সান্নিধ্যে জপ করলে মহামৃত্যু পার হয়। সে মহামৃত্যু পার হয়। যে এভাবে জানে। এই উপনিষদ্। AI

Whoever studies this Atharvashirsha obtains the fruit of reciting the five Atharvashirshas. Whoever, without knowing this Atharvashirsha, installs an image of the deity does not obtain the perfection of that image even after reciting it a hundred lakh times. A hundred and eight repetitions are declared to be the rule of preliminary propitiation for this. Whoever recites it ten times is at once freed from sins. By the grace of the great Goddess he crosses over great difficulties. Reciting it in the evening destroys sins committed during the day. Reciting it in the morning destroys sins committed during the night. One who employs it both evening and morning becomes free of sin. Having recited it at midnight, in the fourth twilight, one attains mastery of speech. Having recited it over a new image, the presence of the deity comes about. Having recited it at the installation of life-breath, the establishing of the life-breaths comes about. Having recited it on the day of Mars or the Ashvini asterism, in the presence of the great Goddess, one crosses over great death. He crosses over great death. Whoever thus knows. Thus the Upanishad.
