Page for the Katyayani Gayatri (to Durga as Katyayani) with lyrics, meaning, and audio; traditional purpose is protection-devotion, not a promised outcome. This URL is a lyrics-and-audio catalog page, not a birth-chart calculator and not a results-from-chanting promise. ## When to use Use this when you want the live Sanskrit lyrics, Latin transliteration, meaning, context, word notes, ritual guidelines, and in-page catalog audio for Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe. Open `/mantras/om_katyayanyai_vidmahe_kanyakumari_dhimahi` from the Mantra Library grid or a direct link. Do not use this URL as a kundli engine, a player for a different chant, a medical or financial promise, or a substitute for `/chat`. Optional Generate Mantra is a separate personalize flow; lyrics and catalog audio do not wait on it. ## What you need - Required: a browser. Catalog audio plays from the `audioUrl` on this page. - Optional: sign-in and birth details only if you tap Generate Mantra. A saved birth profile means the gate does not ask again. - Sign-in: guest OK to read lyrics and play catalog audio. There is no birth form on this URL for playback or reading. - Generate Mantra (optional): the button label is Generate Mantra. The gate title is “Add birth details to generate this mantra.” The gate description is: A personalised mantra is created from your birth chart. Add your birth details to generate it. After the gate, the app opens `/my-feed/mantra/personalize/{publicId}` with `title` and `from=/mantras/om_katyayanyai_vidmahe_kanyakumari_dhimahi`. That personalize URL is not this page. - Timezone and place follow the shared birth-details form used across the site. This file does not quote a price. ## What you get - Format: sticky header, hero with in-page player, optional Generate Mantra, a Transliteration card, a Lyrics and meaning section, and a chat teaser. HTML product URL stays `/mantras/om_katyayanyai_vidmahe_kanyakumari_dhimahi`. - Sticky header: back control aria-label “Back to mantra library”, href `/mantras`. Eyebrow: Mantra Library. Visible title: Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe. The title block links to `/mantras`. - Hero: eyebrow Sacred chant. Heading Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe. Live subtitle: The Katyayani Mantra. A square cover image when `image` is present. The hero player loads the catalog `audioUrl` for this slug. - Player: play/pause, a seek bar labeled “Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe playback position”, elapsed and duration times, a desktop restart control labeled “Restart Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe”, and a decorative volume icon. Status labels: Ready to play; Loading audio…; Now playing; Paused; Finished — tap to play again; Playback unavailable. Play-control labels: Play Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe; Pause Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe; Play Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe again. - Generate Mantra: optional. Guests can skip it and still read lyrics and play catalog audio. The button is not required to use this URL. - Transliteration card: heading Transliteration. The live Latin string on this card is the same as the Lyrics and meaning Transliteration field below. The card sits between Generate Mantra and Lyrics and meaning. It is not a second chant and not a second set of lyrics. Sanskrit appears only under Sanskrit Lyrics. Catalog audio is the same `audioUrl` whether you use the hero player or skip Generate Mantra. The player does not stream a kundli reading and does not change the on-page lyrics. - Lyrics and meaning section: eyebrow Lyrics and meaning; heading Om Katyayanyai Vidmahe; subtitle The Katyayani Mantra.
