Meaning: Dharma samvardhani, who simulates righteousness, who destroyed the demons, daughter of the Himavan, you are unborn. Protect me out of your compassion.

She who inhabits the heart of the pure and delights in eternal bliss, she ordains both Karma and Jnana, and grants whatever is desired.

Sister of Madhava, beautiful incarnate, oh Shankari, extolled by the Raga Madhyamavati, she who has mellifluous voice and is spouse of Mahadeva delights the hearts of pious people. Mother of the eternal Guruguha, she is of the nature of enlightenment, is blemishless, is sovereign of the world, destroys all miseries, manifests herself as the universe by her feet, enchants Lord Panchanandisha, is the essence of the Vedas and the Shastras, she who illumines Brahma, Vishnu, and Paramashiva.
