Mahishasura Marthini Stotram Samaptham.

Dear IL-ites, Please forgive if there is any spelling mistake, as I have just translated from sanskrit to English.
I am very poor in Sanskrit and English Knowledge.

If any one who is well versed in English and Sanskrit, can correct, so that others are benefitted too.

Thanks and regards
Malathi Swaminathan
