Devanagari script

त्वं कांतिः शुभरूपाणां त्वं शांति शुभकर्मिणाम् । त्वं भ्रांतिर्मूढचित्तानां त्वं फलं क्रतुयाजिनाम्

Transliteration

tvaṃ kāṃtiḥ śubharūpāṇāṃ tvaṃ śāṃti śubhakarmiṇām | tvaṃ bhrāṃtirmūḍhacittānāṃ tvaṃ phalaṃ kratuyājinām

Translation

汝は吉相の姿をもつ者たちの光輝、汝は善き業をなす者たちの寂静である。愚鈍な心の者にとっては迷妄（ブラーニティ）ともなり、また祭祀（ヤジュニャ）をもって礼拝する者が得る果報でもある。

FAQs

Devī pervades all outcomes—peace for the righteous, confusion for the deluded, and the very fruit of sacrificial worship—showing Śakti as the ground of experience and karma-phala.

No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse emphasizes universal causality of Devī in ethical life and ritual results.

Kratu-yajña is referenced as a means of worship; the verse identifies Devī as the giver of its phala (result).
