“Salutations to You O Divine Mother! I invoke You, Who showers boons on the Devas; Who overpowered demon Durdhara (literally, unrestrainable), endured demon Durmukha (literally, foul-mouthed) and finally slayed him; and Who delights in Her own bliss, Who sustains and nourishes the three worlds; Who delights Lord Śaṅkara by removing the sins (sinful demons) by indulging in the tumult of battle; Who quells the wrath of the Dānavas (sons of Danu) and is angry with the Daityas (sons of Diti); Who dries up the foolish pride of the demons; and Who is the daughter of the ocean (as Lakṣmi-Devī). Victory to You, victory to You! (I take refuge in Your auspicious feet) O Destroyer of the demon Mahiṣāsura, Who shines with beautiful locks of hair, the Daughter of the mountain.”

“Salutations to You O Divine Mother! I invoke You, Who are the Mother of the Universe; Who is my own Mother; who likes to live in the forest of Kadamba trees and delights in laughter and mirth; Who abides in the middle of the crest-jewel of the peaks of the lofty Himalāyas; Who is as sweet as honey; Who subdued the pride of the demons Madhu and Kaiṭabha and destroyed them, indulging in the din and uproar of the great battle. Victory to You, victory to You! (I take refuge in Your auspicious feet) O Destroyer of the demon Mahiṣāsura, Who shines with beautiful locks of hair, the Daughter of the mountain.”

“Salutations to You O Divine Mother! I invoke You, Who are the Conquerer of the enemy’s elephants, Who cut off their trunks and heads, and the headless bodies into a hundred pieces; Whose Lion fiercely tears asunder the faces of the powerful elephants of the enemies; Who felled the heads of the demons (Chaṇḍa and) Muṇḍa with the weapons in Her arms, and conquered the (enemy) warriors. Victory to You, victory to You! (I take refuge in Your auspicious feet) O Destroyer of the demon Mahiṣāsura, Who shines with beautiful locks of hair, the Daughter of the mountain.”
