Samputita Sri Suktam

Back in January I decided to learn the Sri Suktam (incudling the Samputita form). I finally finished memorizing it - which is not all that impressive since it is just 16 rather short slokas. But for me it was a big deal! When I first started I thought it would be relatively easy, but after I learned the first several slokas it became much more difficult for some reason. But then once I got past that stage (which took a long time!) it started to become much more natural.

I have two recordings which I have been using, and I also have the devanagari and the romanized transcription. And I have a very loose, interpretative translation as well. But I am wondering if anyone can recommend a more literal translation (especially if there is one online somewhere)?

Also, if anyone knows of any more detailed commentaries on Sri Suktam I would be very interested in that!

    Whee samput shlokas come from? Do you know? It is interesting. It comes from Durga Sapta Sati having 13 chapters. It is also commonly known as Chandi Path.

    Canyou pls tell me the difference between the two forms? What is Samputita different like from the the other Sri Suktam?
    I looked for the samputita form in the net but couldn't find anything useful.

      Difference is in the power. any Samputit for gives you more results. So far as Sri Suktam is concerned, read in the following manner it becomes Samputit:

      Aum Srim Hrim Srim Kamale Kamalaalaye Prasid Prasid Srim Hrim Srim Aum Mahaa Laxmaye Namah,
      Aum Durge Smrutaa harshi Bhitim shesh janto svasthai smurtaa matimateev shubhaam Dadaasi

      chant each sloka of Sri Sukatam separately here, then

      Daaridray Dhukh Bhay haarini Kaa Twa Danyaa, Sarvopakar karnaay Sadaadra chittaa.
      Aum Srim Hrim Srim Kamale Kamalaalaye Prasid Prasid Srim Hrim Srim Aum Mahaa Laxmaye Namah,

      Chant all 16 slokas in this manner, it is samputit Sri Sukatm.
