Oh Goddess, having lustre which supersedes

that of the moon because of the charing rays
issuing from the yellow silk garment worn

34
around the waist, having the splendour of
moon-like nails which shine with glittering
rays coming from the crest-jewels of god and
demons prostrating before you, having breasts
which have surpassed the peaks of golden
mountain (Meru) and resemble the temples of
divine elephant (Airavata) grown strong with
the ichor, who has crushed the demon, Mahisha,
wearing a charming knot of hair, Oh Daughter
of Mountain (Himalaya), Victory to you,
Victory to you.(16)

Oh Goddess, the only time praised by the

thousand hands of Sahasrarjuna who had
excelled the thousand-rayed Sun by his valour,
haying a son like Karttika who had fought a
victorious battle in the clash between gods and
Tarakasura, one for whom pleasure is created
in the accomplishment (accorded by Sage
Medhas) by giving justification for the
self-same mental agony of (King) Suratha and
(the Vaisya) Samadhi, who has crushed the
demon. Mahisha, wearing a charming knot of
hair, Oh Daughter of Mountain (Himalaya),
Victory to you, Victory to you.(17)

One who sprinkles the stage meant for (the

dance of) your divine qualities with waters of
rivers in which bits of shining Nagakesara have
been mixed, will he not share the happy
experience of embracing the sides of
pitcher-like breasts of Indrani ? Oh Siva who
conceals (the nature of Brahman), who are
Speech Divine and to whom gods bow down, I
resort to your feet, Oh goddess, who has
crushed the demon, Mahisha, wearing a charming
knot of hair, Oh Daughter of Mountain
(Himalaya), Victory to you, Victory to
you.(19)

Oh Pure One, the person who looks upon your

moonlike face together with its digits causing
a bond (with your essence) as the bank (beyond
which the river of sorrow does not proceed) -
will he ever be turned away by the ladies of
Indra's City, having moonlike faces and
auspicious faces ? Oh Goddess, having the name
of Siva as her treasure, or my opinion is that
with kindness you achieve it. Oh Goddess, who
has crushed the demon, Mahisha, wearing a
beatiful know of hair, Oh Daughter of Mountain
(Himalaya), Victory to you, Victory to
you.(20)

Hail, Oh Uma, you should be compassionate
to the afflicted and kind. Hail Oh Rama, with
your kndness you are the mother of the
universe. You have been conjunctured (to be
such) as you are. Oh Revered One, adopt that
which is fit for me. Remove my extensive
sorrow. Oh Goddess, who has crushed the demon,
Mahisha, wearing a beautiful knot of hair, Oh
Daughter of Mountain (Himalaya), Victory to
you, Victory to you.(21)
