Pallavī:
O Mother,
Who rules over the entire egg-like universe, and Who
is deft in giving the knowledge of sacred works!
Protect me.|
Anupallavī:
O
Mother, Who rules over the entire egg-like universe,
Who is the incessant self of the entire universe,
Who is spotless, Who is pure, Who has a grey
complexion, and Who is the abode of all artistry!
Protect me.|
Caraṇa
O
Mother, Who rules over the entire egg-like universe,
Who is adored by Lambodara and Guruguha, Who is
well-exhibited by long tresses, Who is smiling, Who
is prayed upon by the voice-controllers, Who gives
boons, Who is bowed upon by the best King of
mountains, Who is Śāradā, Who shines
forth as the slayer of Jambha, Who is bowed upon by
Janārdana, Who is adorned by this hymn in the
Rāga Jujāvanti, Who is pleased by the
resonant sound of cymbals and drums, and Who bestows
knowlege! Protect me.||1||
