Pallavi: May Kalavati, Who is a young Woman seated on a lotus-seat, and Who possesses milk, incites auspicion [in my life].
Anupallavi: May Bharati, Who is the mystic syllable for strong and weak, Who is the embodiment of Mother, Who destroys malice, Who is the Voice, Who has bumble-bees at braid of hair (due to flowers), and Who holds a mystic lute, incites auspicion [in my life].||1||
Carana: May Sharada, Who is resplendent like the rays of light from the winter-moon, Who has a white-body like the moon, Who roams in the temples of Kashmir, Who is beyond everything, Who holds a cane, Who gives boons, Who holds fearlessness, whip and book in hands, Whose lotus-feet have been honored by demi-gods, Who is beautiful, Who is seated on a white lotus, Who entices Purari and ‘Guruguha’, and Who is the daughter-in-law of Murari, the incites auspicion [in my life]¹.||1||
