Astadasa Shakthi Peethalu

Oct 12, 2013
I have been looking of this in Telugu script for quite some time. I have found the same in English and Hindi, in various locations. Finally i have decided to make this my self.

There are 18 Maha Shakthi Peethas said to be the places where the body parts of maa Sathi Devi fell and became sacred places. The maa goddess is called with different names at each location.
This stotra written by Adhi Shankara names the places of Shakthi Peethas and the name of the Goddess in temples there. the English version is available around, which i have reproduced here. 


The English Version is here.
Lankayam Shankari devi, Kamakshi Kanchika pure 
Pradyumne Shrinkhala devi, Chamunda Krouncha pattane 
Alampure Jogulamba, Sri shaile Bhramarambika 
 Kolha pure Maha lakshmi, Mahurye Ekaveerika 
Ujjainyam Maha kali, Peethikayam Puruhutika 
Odhyane Girija devi, Manikya Daksha vatike 
Hari kshetre Kama rupi, Prayage Madhaveshwari 
Jwalayam Vishnavi devi, Gaya Mangalya gourika 
Varanasyam Vishalakshi, Kashmire tu Saraswati 
Ashtadasha Shakti peethani, Yoginamapi durlabham 
Sayamkale pathennityam, Sarva shatri vinashanam 
Sarva roga haram divyam, Sarva sampatkaram shubham 
 
The telugu version is reproduced below.
లంకాయాం శాంకరీ దేవీ కామాక్షీ కంచికా పురీ
ప్రద్యుమ్నే శృంగాలా దేవీ చాముండా క్రౌంచ పట్టనే
అలంపురీ జోగులాంబా శ్రీశైలే భ్రమరాంబికా
కొల్హాపురీ మహాలక్ష్మీ మాహుర్యీ ఏకవీరికా
ఉజ్జయిన్యాం మహాకాళీ [పీఠికాయాం పురుభూతికా
ఒధ్యాయం గిరిజా దేవీం మాణిక్యా దక్షవాటికా
హరి క్షేత్రే కామరూపీ ప్రయాగే మహాదేశ్వరీ
జ్వాలాయాం వైష్ణవీ దేవీం గయా మాంగల్య గౌరికా
వారనస్యావు విశాలాక్షీ కాష్మీరేతు సరస్వతీ
అష్టాదశ శక్తి పీఠఆణి యోగినా మపి దుర్లభం
సాయంకాలే పఠిన్నిత్యం సర్వ శత్రు వినాశనం
సర్వరోగహరం దివ్యం సర్వసంపత్కరం శుభం
