The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
जायन्ते पशवः पुत्रा धनं धान्यं वरस्त्रियः । रत्नान्यश्वा गजा भृत्या यानाश्चाशु भवन्त्युत । यस्येदं तिष्ठते गेहे तस्येदं जायते ध्रुवम् ॥
jāyante paśavaḥ putrā dhanaṃ dhānyaṃ varastriyaḥ | ratnāny aśvā gajā bhṛtyā yānāś cāśu bhavanty uta | yasyedaṃ tiṣṭhate gehe tasyedaṃ jāyate dhruvam ||
Es entstehen Vieh, Söhne, Reichtum, Korn und Getreide, vortreffliche Frauen; und bald erscheinen auch Edelsteine, Pferde, Elefanten, Diener und Fahrzeuge. Bei dem, in dessen Haus dies verweilt, entsteht all dies gewiss und unfehlbar.
