Devishataka 40

40

[Continuous garland rhyme (nirantarāvaliyamaka):]
O Devī, whose nine-fold praises, newly composed with fine arrangement, are seen by the gods; likewise, who are to be approached, reached with zeal, with eagerness, for the dispelling of the manifold fears born of transmigratory existence, arising in worldly life. She who is to be reached through respect for worldly fear, she who is to be approached. The connection is made with the first half-verse. To your two feet, whose movement is the tempo of one devoted to playful grace—bowing with a bow to these two feet, I am not sated, I am not satisfied; I do not reach satiety, such is the meaning. (40)
