वीतशोके ध्रुवे देवि पद्मपत्रायतेक्षणे । शुद्धसत्त्वे व्रतस्थे च चण्डरूपे विभावरि
vītaśoke dhruve devi padmapatrāyatekṣaṇe | śuddhasattve vratasthe ca caṇḍarūpe vibhāvari
О Богиня, свободная от скорби, неизменная и твердая; с глазами, как лепестки лотоса; чистая по сущности, пребывающая в священном обете; грозная обликом, о сияющая Ночь!
Devas (the gods, led by Indra/Mahendra)
Devī unites serenity and fierceness—inner purity (śuddha-sattva) and disciplined vrata can coexist with powerful protection.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where Devī’s attributes are praised as the sustaining spiritual force of the holy region.
Vrata (sacred observance) is praised as a divine quality; the verse does not prescribe a specific vrata.
