I bow to the Mother-Goddess, who has assumed the infinity of forms, who is at play in the movable and the immovable world and who attracts our souls with the charm of Her smiles.
   She is the most auspicious Deity, superbly pure, grand of lustre, magnificent of might; She is the Beam of light that drives away darkness. To that Mother-Goddess I bow.
  It is She who gives happiness to all the world. She is the stream of consciousness issuing forth from the spiritual Heaven, She is the giver of the Day and doer of Good. To Her I bow, to the Mother-Goddess.
   She is the giver of the boon of freedom from fear, She frightens all hideous and frightful things; She gives lucidity to the soul, She the Mother-Goddess, to Her I bow.
  The morning lotus is Her resting place, She distributes sweet nectarous wine, She is the builder of our fortunate Fate before Her I bend my head.
   She is in my heart, in Her I find refuge and worship and serve Her with my self and soul surrendered, to Her I bow, the Mother-Goddess.
