"O great one! by great yogic power, Thou hast converted Thy body into another unconquerable body like that of Maheśvara and hast become His ornament It is Thou who being praised by the Devas hast killed the friends and relations of the demon Andhaka Thou ridest on the great lion with long white manes rising from his shoulders Thou destroyst the great Asuras by Thy extended hands, reflected with the fire emitting from Thy sharp weapons O Mother! the inhabitants of the earth call Thee by the name Chaṇḍikâ the Destroyer of Śumbha and Niśumbha Thou art the only Deity to be meditated by the people of the world who bow down to Thee It is Thou who art earnest in destroying the demons who create great riot and disturbance Devî! I bow down to Thy manifestations in the heaven on the aerial track, in the blazing fire and on land O unconquerable one! O unequalled one! O dear one to Śiva! I salute Thee The ocean full of waves the fire and thousands of serpents cannot cause me any harm when I utter Thy name I am at Thy mercy and have no craving Devî! calm down and be clement to me I saluate Thee O shelter to Thy devotees of firm devotion! O Bhagavatî! I take refuge at Thy feet May Thy unending shower of mercy fall on my head Forgive me Now assume Thy peaceful form—14-19
