Meaning:

Protect me, O beloved of the destroyer of the three worlds. O treasure house of compassion, who is free of all defects and who embodies this illusory world, bless me so that I can be devoted to your lotus feet.

O pure one, O Bhavani, with a voice that is softer than the birds', O queen of Sharva (Shiva), O young one, O embodiment of all commendable virtues, with a tilaka on your forehead, bejewelled with garlands of beads, with hair that resembles a swarm of black bees, you offer salvation from Kaliyuga.

Your body is more effulgent than a million suns. You protect the sages who worship you. You are majestic and you protect the weak. You are pleased by your sons and you terrorise the clan of Asuras. You are soft-spoken and easy to attain.

You embellish the Kamapita. You are Kalyani, Kamakshi and Sri Lalita. Your face is like the moon. O ancient one, O beautiful one, O Kaumari, you are the sister of Syama Krishna and you are the daughter of the king of the mountains. You grant whatever boons one desires.
