sarvabhūtā yadā devī svargamuktipradāyinī /
tvaṃ stutā stutaye kā vā bhavantu paramoktayaḥ //

“O goddess, who removest the sufferings of thy suppliants, be gracious!
Be gracious, O mother of the whole world!
Be gracious, O queen of the universe! safeguard the universe!
Thou, O goddess, art queen of all that is moveable and immoveable!
Thou alone hast become the support of the world,
Because thou dost subsist in the form of the earth!
By thee, who existest in the form of water, all
This universe is filled, O thou inviolable in thy valour!
Thou art Viṣṇu’s energy, boundless in thy valour;
Thou art the germ of the universe, thou art Illusion sublime!
All this world has been bewitched, O goddess;
Thou indeed when attained[3] art the cause of final emancipation from existence on the earth!
All sciences are portions of thee, O goddess;
So are all females without exception in the worlds[4]!
By thee alone, as mother, this world has been filled!
What praise can there he for thee? Thou art beyond praise, the sublimest expression![5]
When as being the goddess, who constitutes every created thing,
And who bestows Svarga and final emancipation from existence,
Thou are praised—for thy praise again
What sublime words can be sufficient?
O thou, who abidest under the form of Intelligence
In the heart of every living creature;
O goddess, who bestowest Svarga and final emancipation from existence,
O Nārāyaṇī, reverence he to thee!
Thou in the form of minutes, moments and other portions of time,
Dost bring results to pass;
O thou who art mighty in the death of the universe,
