त्वं स्वाहा त्वं स्वधा देवि त्वमुत्पत्तिर्वरानने । त्वमोङ्कारस्थितादेवि वेदोत्पत्तिस्त्वमेव च ॥
tvaṁ svāhā tvaṁ svadhā devi tvam utpattir varānane | tvam oṅkāra-sthitā devi vedotpattis tvam eva ca ||
تو ہی سواہا ہے، تو ہی سوَدھا ہے، اے دیوی؛ اے خوش رُو، تو ہی پیدائش کی اصل ہے۔ اے دیوی، تو اومکار میں قائم ہے؛ ویدوں کا ظہور بھی یقیناً تو ہی ہے۔
