घंटाहस्ते शूल हस्ते महामहिषमर्दिनि । उग्ररूपे विरूपाक्षि महामायेऽमृते शिवे
ghaṃṭāhaste śūla haste mahāmahiṣamardini | ugrarūpe virūpākṣi mahāmāye'mṛte śive
اے دیوی! ایک ہاتھ میں گھنٹی اور دوسرے میں ترشول رکھنے والی؛ عظیم مہیشاسُر کو روندنے والی؛ ہیبت ناک صورت والی، کشادہ چشم؛ اے مہامایا، اے امرتہ، اے مبارک شِوا!
Devas (collectively), offering a hymn of praise
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī appears in a fierce yet auspicious aspect: one hand holding a ringing bell, another gripping a trident; her wide eyes blaze with protective power as devas praise her as Mahīṣamardinī and amṛta-śivā.
Divine power is both protective and awe-inspiring; taking refuge in Devī as the deathless, auspicious reality dispels fear and evil.
Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa), praised in the Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa as a place where the Goddess is honored through stotra and devotion.
This verse itself is part of a stotra (hymn); the later verses specify the fruits of recitation and fasting/seeing the Goddess on particular lunar days.
