Translation:
"O Divine, compassion incarnate mother of the world,
Thou art the eternal cosmic speech of the Veda
Revered by devatas, humans and the enlightened ones
Thou art all-pervading intelligence and wisdom
Thou art the creator and upholder of the universe
Thou art the destroyer of the mightiest of demons
Thou art the source of all resplendent energy
Thou givest the state of immortality (Enlightenment)"
