यश्च मर्त्यः स्तवैरेभिस्त्वां स्तोष्यत्य मलानने ।
तस्य वित्तर्धिविभवैर्धनदारादिसम्पदाम् ।
वृद्धयेऽस्मात्प्रसन्ना त्वं भवेताः सर्वदाम्बिके ॥

“Y cualquier mortal que te alabe con estos himnos, oh de rostro inmaculado—que tú, siempre benigna, oh Ambikā, hagas crecer su riqueza, prosperidad y buena fortuna, y sus posesiones, como bienes, cónyuge y otras semejantes.”
