Shitalashtaka-Stotra – ** ।।God said।।

I salute the cool-goddess, the digambara in the Rasabha. with a wiping pitcher, and a head decorated with a scythe.

I worship the goddess Shitala, who removes all diseases and fears. When they reach it they turn away, there is a great fear of explosions.

He who says, ‘In the cold and in the cold,’ is suffering from burning. The fear of explosions is terrible, and it quickly disappears.

But he who meditates and worships you in the midst of water. The fear of explosions is terrible, and it does not arise in his house.

Cool! He was burnt with fever and had a smell of pus For men who have lost their sight, they call you the medicine of life.

Cool! You take away the diseases of the body, which are difficult for men to give up. Those who are torn by explosives, you alone shower nectar.

Diseases of the throat, cheeks, planets, and other terrible diseases of men. Just by meditating on you, cool! They go to destruction.

There is no mantra or medicine for that, for the disease of sin. You’re alone, cool! Mother, I see no other goddess. Hail to Shitala Mata
