Transliteration
vadhū́r iyáṃ pátim icchánty eti yá īṃ váhāte máhiṣīm iṣirā́m | ā́sya śravasyā́d rátha ā́ ca ghoṣāt purū́ sahásrā pári vartayāte ||
Translation
এই বধূ-আত্মা স্বামীকে কামনা করে অগ্রসর হয়; যে তাকে বহন করে—সেই মহান, প্রেরণাময় মহিষী (রাণী-শক্তি)কে। তার খ্যাতি থেকে রথ ধ্বনি তুলে কাছে আসে; বহু সহস্র তার চারদিকে ঘুরে-ফিরে চলে—বিজয়ী প্রকাশের জন্য শক্তিসমূহ সমবেত হয়।
