निर्मला निर्मलाख्याना नाशिनीतापसंपदाम् । नियता नित्यसुखदा नानाश्चर्यमहानिधिः
nirmalā nirmalākhyānā nāśinītāpasaṃpadām | niyatā nityasukhadā nānāścaryamahānidhiḥ
ती निर्मळ आहे, तिची कीर्तीही निष्कलंक आहे; ती प्राण्यांच्या संचित ताप-सम्पदा (दुःख) नष्ट करणारी आहे। संयमित व अढळ, ती नित्यसुख देणारी आणि नानाविध आश्चर्यांची महान निधी आहे।

Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sage interlocutor (not explicit here)
Scene: A spotless, radiant Devī seated on a white lotus above the Gaṅgā, washing away the smoky haze of beings’ sufferings; behind her, a treasury-like aura reveals wondrous forms—temples, lamps, and celestial symbols.
Purity and steadfast devotion culminate in the removal of suffering and the gift of lasting well-being.
Kāśī is the broader sacred setting; the stuti functions as part of Kāśī’s praise and its dharmic promise.
No direct injunction appears; the devotional act is nāma-stuti—remembering and praising the Goddess’s qualities.
