भण्डासुरवधोत्तरकृत्य-देवस्तुति
Aftermath of Bhaṇḍāsura’s Slaying and the Gods’ Hymn to Lalitā
नित्ये निरातङ्कदयाप्रपञ्चे नीलालकश्रेणि नमोनमस्ते / अनङ्गपुष्पादिभिरुन्नदाभिरनङ्गदेवीभिरजस्रसेव्ये / अभव्यहन्त्र्यक्षरराशिरूपे हतारिवर्गे ललिते नमस्ते
nitye nirātaṅkadayāprapañce nīlālakaśreṇi namonamaste / anaṅgapuṣpādibhirunnadābhiranaṅgadevībhirajasrasevye / abhavyahantryakṣararāśirūpe hatārivarge lalite namaste
O Eternal Goddess, who unfolds the realm of compassion free from all peril; O Lady with rows of blue‑black tresses, again and again I bow to You. Ever are You served by the Goddesses of Ananga, who exalt You with Kāma’s flowers and other adornments. O destroyer of all inauspiciousness, whose form is the imperishable host of sacred syllables; O Lalitā, who has slain the ranks of foes—salutations to You.
