The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
विकरालमुखी देवि ज्वालामुखि नमोऽस्तु ते । सर्वसत्त्वहिते देवि सर्वदेवि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
vikarālamukhī devi jvālāmukhi namo’stu te | sarvasattvahite devi sarvadevi namo’stu te ||
ข้าแต่เทวีผู้มีพักตร์น่าเกรงขาม ข้าแต่เทวีผู้มีพักตร์เป็นเปลวเพลิง ขอนอบน้อมแด่พระองค์ ข้าแต่เทวีผู้มุ่งประโยชน์แก่สรรพสัตว์ทั้งปวง ข้าแต่เทวีผู้เป็นเทวีทั้งมวล ขอนอบน้อมแด่พระองค์
Rudra (implied continuation of stuti; explicit in 95.53)
