tām agnivarṇāṃ tapasā jvalantīṃ vairocanīṃ karmaphaleṣu juṣṭām | durgāṃ devīṃ śaraṇam ahaṃ prapadye sutarāṃ nāśayate tamaḥ |
devīṃ vācam ajanayanta devās tāṃ viśvarūpāḥ paśavo vadanti | sā no mandreṣam ūrjaṃ duhānā dhenur vāg asmān upasuṣṭutaitu ||9–10||
ข้าขอนอบน้อมพึ่งพาเธอ—ผู้มีวรรณะดุจไฟ ลุกโชติช่วงด้วยตบะ ผู้รุ่งเรือง (ไวโรจณี) ผู้ยินดีในผลแห่งกรรม—คือพระทุรคา พระเทวี; พระนางทำลายความมืดสิ้นเชิง. เหล่าเทพได้ก่อกำเนิดวาจาอันเป็นเทวี; สัตว์ทั้งหลายผู้มีรูปนานาประการกล่าวถึงพระนาง. ขอให้วาจานั้น—ดุจโคผู้รีดน้ำนมให้เราเป็นความหวานแห่งอาหารและพลัง—มาถึงเรา ผู้ได้รับการสรรเสริญอย่างงดงาม.
To her—fire-hued, blazing with austerity; radiant (vairocanī), delighted in the fruits of actions—I take refuge in Durgā the Goddess; she utterly destroys darkness. The gods generated divine Speech; the many-formed creatures speak her. May that Speech, a cow milking out for us sweet nourishment and vigor, come to us well-praised.
