कुमाऊं व गढ़वाल में प्रचलित महादेवी बभूत मंत्र

Consecrating Ash by Mahadevi Mantra Popular in Garhwal and Kumaun

ॐ नमो आदेसा , माता पिता गुरु देवता को आदेसा ,

बभूत माता , बभूत पिता को नमस्कारा,

बभूत तीन लोक निर्वाणी , सर्व दुःख निर्वाणी ,

कीने आणी ,कीने छाणी, अनंत सिद्धों का मस्तक चढ़ाणी

बभूत माता , बभूत पिता , रक्षा करे गुरु गोरख राऊ ,

चौकी करे राजपाल,

आरोग्य रखे बेताल, चौकी नरसिंग तेरी आण ,

नारी के पुत्र नारसिंग वीर तोही सुमरो ,

आधी रात के बीच आयो उदागिरी कंठो से लाल घोड़ा ,

लाल पलाण , लाल सिद्धि, लाल मेखला, फोटकी धुंवां

टिमरू का सोंटा , नेपाली पत्र , भसमो कंकण

नाद बुद्ध सेली को मुरा बाघवीर छाला

Gods, ancestors and nature spirits

Be giving growth and kindly substance
