🔔 Divine Aarti & Stuti

જય દશામા, મા જય દશામા ।
દુઃખ હરણી સુખ કરણી, ભવભય તારણહાર... જય દશામા ॥
સાંડણી વાહન સોહૈ, કંકુ પગલે પધારી ।
દાસી ઉપર મહેર કરો, ત્રિભુવન આધાર... જય દશામા ॥
દસ દિવસનો તારો દિવ્ય નિયમ, જે કોઈ નર-નારી પાળે ।
દુઃખીયાના દુઃખ ભાંગો, મંગલ દીવડો પ્રગટે... જય દશામા ॥
દસ ગાંઠનો દોરો બાંધે, ભાવે પૂજા કરે ।
ધન-ધાન્યના ભંડાર ભરો, દાસની વિનંતી સુણો... જય દશામા ॥
વિજયસિંહ રાજાની પલટી દશા, તેં કરી મહેરબાન ।
રૂપવતી રાણીને દીધું, ખોવાયેલું રાજ-સન્માન... જય દશામા ॥
દશામાની આરતી, ભાવે જે ગાશે ।
તેના ઘરની દશા સુધરશે, અમર પદ પાશે... જય દશામા ॥
