मार्कण्डेय उवाच
विशुद्धज्ञानदेहाय त्रिवेदीदिव्यचक्षुषे।
श्रेयः प्राप्तिनिमित्ताय नमः सोमार्धधारिणे॥१॥
सर्वमेतद् विजानीयान्मन्त्राणामपि कीलकम्।
सोऽपि क्षेममवाप्नोति सततं जाप्यतत्परः॥२॥
सिद्ध्यन्त्युच्चाटनादीनि कर्माणि सकलान्यपि।
एतेन स्तुवतां देविं स्तोत्रवृन्देन भक्तितः॥३॥
न मन्त्रो नौषधं तत्र न किञ्चिदपि विद्यते।
विना जप्येन सिद्धयेत्तु सर्वमुच्चाटनादिकम्॥४॥
समग्राण्यपि सेत्स्यन्ति लोकशङ्कामिमां हरः।
कृत्वा निमन्त्रयामास सर्वमेवमिदं शुभम्॥५॥
स्तोत्रं वै चण्डिकायास्तु तच्च गुह्यं चकार सः।
समाप्नोति स पुण्येन तां यथावन्निमन्त्रणाम्॥६॥
सोऽपि क्षेममवाप्नोति सर्वमेव न संशयः।

न चैवापाटवं तस्य भयं क्वापि न जायते।
नापमृत्युवशं याति मृते च मोक्षमाप्नुयात्॥१०॥
ज्ञात्वा प्रारभ्य कुर्वीत ह्यकुर्वाणो विनश्यति।
ततो ज्ञात्वैव सम्पूर्णमिदं प्रारभ्यते बुधैः॥११॥
सौभाग्यादि च यत्किञ्चिद् दृश्यते ललनाजने।
तत्सर्वं तत्प्रसादेन तेन जप्यमिदं शुभम्॥१२॥
शनैस्तु जप्यमानेऽस्मिन् स्तोत्रे सम्पत्तिरुच्चकैः।
भवत्येव समग्रापि ततः प्रारभ्यमेव तत्॥१३॥
ऐश्वर्यं यत्प्रसादेन सौभाग्यारोग्यसम्पदः।
शत्रुहानिः परो मोक्षः स्तूयते सा न किं जनैः॥१४॥
चण्डिकां हृदयेनापि यः स्मरेत् सततं नरः।
हृद्यं काममवाप्नोति हृदि देवी सदा वसेत्॥१५॥
अग्रतोऽमुं महादेवकृतं कीलकवारणम्।
निष्किलञ्च तथा कृत्वा पठितव्यं समाहितैः॥
