English Scholarly Translation
Oh, She who is refuge to all this world, All gods except you mother, Give refuge and grants wishes, Only by their hand. But only you mother Never show the world in detail, The boons and refuge that you can give, For even your holy feet will suffice, To remove fear for ever, And grant boons much more than asked. 4
