1. "May Brahmāṇī, whose face is kindly as the lovely moon, and
Māheçvarī, with her grace, and Kāumārī, who causes destruc-
tion to the pride of the enemy, and Vāiṣṇavī, armed with the disc,
and Vārāhī, roaring with a deep and terrible rumble, and Āindrī,
armed with the club (of Indra), and Cāmuṇḍā, joined with Gaṇeça
and Rudra — may these Mothers [the Energies or female counter-
parts of seven principal gods] protect me!"
