Om, salutations to Chamunda
Om, salutations to Chandika
Om, salutations to Chamunda
Om, salutations to Chandika
With fierce and mighty courage,
Will she set fire to all evil?
Echoing through the earth with cosmic beats,
The planets align and shift,
Raging fiercely on their own!
Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
Chorus: Hara Hara Devi!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
With fierce and mighty courage,
Will she set fire to all evil?
Echoing through the earth with cosmic beats,
The planets align and shift,
Raging fiercely on their own!
Approaching from far away,
A face like a roaring storm,
Harboring deep vengeance within,
Fierce and valiant eyes,
Turning terrifying and dreadful
In the blink of an eye!
A face of mystic grace,
Shining with beauty and penance,
Rising in fury upon seeing evil,
Like a dark, rising ocean wave,
As the divine form dances,
In a state of thunderous roar!
For any wrong committed by anyone,
Without justice being served,
Life will never ever pass on!
Even through seven lifetimes it will not change,
The sins we committed rest upon our shoulders!
Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
Chorus: Hara Hara Devi!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Salutations to the Goddess!
Hara Hara Devi!
Salutations to the Goddess!
Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
Chorus: Hara Hara Devi!
Male: Salutations to the Goddess!
...
Striking terror in the heart,
The ultimate height of fear,
For the karma you accumulated,
She will settle it and uphold dharma!
The totality of all sins,
Demanding blood as atonement,
She wages a relentless battle,
Delivering absolute destruction!
Rage nurtured and preserved
Across five hundred watches of the night,
Takes shape from the dark void
And wanders searching for life!
No matter which fortress
You run and take refuge in,
Blending shadow into shadow,
It will hunt you down!
Come like water,
Come as yourself,
There is no way to escape,
This hunt knows no blind spot!
O Daughter of the Mountain, who gladdens
The earth, who delights the universe, praised by Nandi,
Dweller on the peaks of the sacred Vindhya mountains,
Who brings joy to Vishnu, worshipped by Indra,
O Goddess, consort of blue-throated Shiva,
Fosterer of the entire universe, creator of abundance,
Victory, victory to You, O slayer of Mahishasura,
With beautiful braided locks, O Daughter of the Mountain!
With fierce and mighty courage,
Will she set fire to all evil?
Echoing through the earth with cosmic beats,
The planets align and shift,
Raging fiercely on their own!
Approaching from far away,
A face like a roaring storm,
Harboring deep vengeance within,
Fierce and valiant eyes,
Turning terrifying and dreadful
In the blink of an eye!
A face of mystic grace,
Shining with beauty and penance,
Rising in fury upon seeing evil,
Like a dark, rising ocean wave,
As the divine form dances,
In a state of thunderous roar!
For any wrong committed by anyone,
Without justice being served,
Life will never ever pass on!
Even through seven lifetimes it will not change,
The sins we committed rest upon our shoulders!
Aaha... Aahaha... Aaha...
Aaaa... Aaaa... Aa...
Male: ...
Victory, victory to the Goddess!

Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Hara Hara Devi!
Victory, victory to the Goddess!
Hara Hara Devi!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Ra Ra Ra Mohini' from the movie Mohini (2018) is a powerful, dark-themed devotional and vengeful track invoking the fiercest form of Goddess Durga (Chamunda/Chandiga) and the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram. The lyrics describe the inescapable nature of karma and cosmic retribution. The spirit seeking vengeance acts as an agent of divine justice, ensuring that sinners pay for their misdeeds regardless of where they hide or how much time passes. Lyrically authored by Pa. Vijay, the song blends traditional Sanskrit mantras with intense Tamil lyrics depicting wrath, fear, and cosmic judgment. The song highlights that sins committed across multiple births will inevitably follow an individual, driving home the supernatural thriller theme of the film where a vengeful spirit seeks retribution against wrongdoers.
