1. Early in the morning I concentrate upon that enchantinglotus like visage of Shree Lalita whose lips are deep redlike the Bimba flower, the nose bedight with a pearlpendant; whose eyes are big as to be spreading up to theears wearing the jewelled rings and whose forehead has acomely musk mark. Her smiling face appears verycaptivating.

2. I concentrate early in the morning on the svelt-creeperlike comely arms of Shree Lalita Devi whose hands arebedight with the red ring worn on her fingers and with the jewel embedded gold bangles (on the wrist). Her handshold the bow made of the sugarcane of red variety, thearrow made of flowers and a cumulus.

4. I hymn early in the morning to the virtues of ShreeLalita Bhavan, whose very appearance ensures supremewelfare to all and the glory of her resourcefulness iscopiously described by the Vedas and the Vedant-philosophy; who is pure and pious being of auspiciousform and who is the root cause of the creation,maintenance and destruction of the entire world. She is thepresiding deity of all knowledge and whose full glory isunfathomable even for the Vedas, speech, and mind.
