English

Oh Kamalambika, you whose face exceeds the full moon in beauty, protect me. You are the giver of boons and the mother of Guruguha.

You are Narayani, the mother of the universe, worshiped by meritorious people.

She is the companion of Sarasvati, and has feet which bestow the fruits of boons in totality.

She shines like Spring in full bloom, and has hands like the lotus.

She exults, day and night, in the pleasant sound of swans.

She is Aparna, the Kundalini Shakti. She is in the Nagadhvani, is the embodiment of sound, is benevolent, and is that which is She.
