निविष्टा सा जगन्माता श्रीमाता कामरूपिणी । हिताय जगतां राजन्नद्यापि वरपर्वते । तत्रैव वसते साक्षान्नृणां कामप्रदायिनी

Elle, la Mère du monde—Mère de bon augure, prenant les formes à son gré—s’assit là pour le bien des mondes ; et, aujourd’hui encore, ô roi, sur Varaparvata elle demeure manifestement, accordant aux hommes leurs désirs légitimes.
