I worship Her who abides in the midst of the heart-lotus, radiant as the morning sun; who bears the noose and the goad, gentle and gracious, whose hands bestow boons and fearlessness; three-eyed, clad in red, granting the devotees the objects of their longing. I bow to You, O Goddess—destroyer of great fear, pacifier of great distress—whose very form is great compassion.
I worship her who abides in the middle of the heart-lotus, whose radiance is like the morning sun; who bears the noose and the goad, who is gentle, whose hands grant boons and fearlessness; who is three-eyed, clad in red garments, and who yields the desired objects of devotees. I bow to you, the Goddess, the destroyer of great fear, the pacifier of great distress, whose very form is great compassion.
