श्री जीण माता चालीसाJeen Mata Chalisa: Jai Shri Jeenbhakt Sukhkari
जय श्री जीणभक्त सुखकारी। नमो नमो भक्तन हितकारी ॥दुर्गा की तुम हो अवतारा। सकल कष्ट तु मेट हमारा ॥महाभयंकर तेज तुम्हारा। महिषासुर सा दुष्ट संहारा ॥कंचन छत्र शिष पर सोहे। देखत रूप चराचर मोहे॥
Forty chaupai that praise Jeen Mata as a form of Durga and, in the words of the Chalisa, tell of Jeen’s tapasya, her brother Harsh who became Harshnath Bhairav, and the crowds at the Ashwin and Chaitra fairs.

Singing together
At a bhajan sandhya one voice leads each verse and everyone answers with the refrain. Each lyrics page marks the refrain clearly, so a whole gathering can follow from their phones.
