經 「或在山巖深險處,或居坎窟及河邊,或在大樹諸叢林,天女多依此中住。假使山林野人輩,亦常供養於天女,以孔雀羽作幢旗,於一切時常護世,師子虎狼恒圍繞,牛羊雞等亦相依。振大鈴鐸出音聲,頻陀山眾皆聞響,或執三戟頭圓髻,左右恒持日月旗。黑月九日十一日,於此時中當供養,或現婆蘇大天妹,見有鬪戰心常愍。」

Sūtra:
'Whether in deep, perilous mountain crags,
or dwelling in caves and riverbanks,
or in great trees and thick groves,
the goddess mostly dwells relying on these.
Even the wild folk of the mountains and forests
also constantly make offerings to the goddess,
using peacock feathers as banners and flags;
at all times she constantly protects the world.
Lions, tigers, and wolves ever surround her;
cattle, sheep, fowl, and the like also depend on her.
She shakes large bells and chimes giving forth sounds;
the hosts of the Vindhya mountains all hear the resonance.
Or she holds a trident, her head crowned with a round coiffure,
her left and right sides ever holding the banners of the sun and moon.
On the ninth day and eleventh day of the dark fortnight,
at these times one should make offerings to her.
Or she manifests as the younger sister of the great god Vasu;
seeing strife, her heart is always compassionate.'
