विद्याः समास्तास्तव देवि भेदाः स्त्रियः समास्ताः सकला जगत्सु ।
त्वयैकया पूरितमम्बयैतत्का ते स्तुतिः स्तव्यपरा परोक्तिः ॥
vidyāḥ samastās tava devi bhedāḥ striyaḥ samastāḥ sakalā jagatsu | tvayaikayā pūritam ambayaitat kā te stutiḥ stavyaparā paroktiḥ ||
ದೇವಿ, ಸಮಸ್ತ ವಿದ್ಯೆಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ರೂಪಗಳೇ; ಎಲ್ಲ ಲೋಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿನ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರೂ ನಿನ್ನ ರೂಪಗಳೇ. ತಾಯೇ, ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ಈ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಜಗತ್ತು ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸಿದೆ. ನಿನ್ನ ಸ್ತುತಿ ಏನಾಗಬಹುದು—ಸ್ತುತ್ಯಳಾದ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಯಾವ ವಚನಗಳು ಸಮರ್ಪಕವಾಗಿ ಸ್ತುತಿಸಬಲ್ಲವು?
