MANGAL DIVO
Divo re divo prabhu manglik divo ... divo re Aarati utaaran, bahu chiranjivo... divo re
Sohaamanu gher parva diwaali, Ambar khele amaraa baali ... divo re
Deepaal bhane aene kul ajuvaali, Bhave bhagte vighan nivaari ... divo re
Deepaal bhane aene ae kalikaale,
Aarati utaari raaja Kumaarpaale ... divo re
Am gher manglik, tum gher manglik, Manglik chaturvidh sanghne hojo... divo re

AUSPICIOUS LIGHT
Lamp, O, Lamp, O auspicious lamp,
May the life to anyone worshipping you with lamp be enhanced,
Just as on the auspicious day of Diwaali,
Let there be heavenly light and joy forever in every home.
"Deepal" states that it brings enlightenment to the family, and when performed with devotion, eliminates all obstacles.
Further states "Deepal" that in this era.
King Kumarpal, thus, worshipped you.
Let there be bliss here, there and everywhere, And let there be bliss in all the four-fold order.**
• The poet
