She brims with joy, radiant with compassion,
The fierce beauty who crushed the ego of Shumbha and Nishumbha,
Wearing a garland of severed heads and skulls,
Illuminated by blazing sun rays, She is Shiva! || 1 ||
She is the daughter of the magnificent Himalayas,
She rescues those drowning in suffering, performs and supports righteous deeds,
Beloved of Shiva, the God who destroyed Andhaka, the God precious to all gods,
She brings joy to Vishnu, She is the essence of love, She is Shiva! || 2 ||
She glows as the omnipresent goddess, Her beauty beyond bounds,
Adorned by Ganesha, She is beyond the sight that eyes that seek,
She moves with victory and grace through swarms of bees,
She rests on every brow, She is beyond worldly attachment or desire. || 3 ||
Mortal beings wander in delusion and ignorance,
Foolishly abandoning wisdom and chasing endless thoughts,
They are helpless, dependent, and struggling, like fish out of water,
May She always bless those who surrender at Her feet. || 4 ||
Her eyes roll in playfulness, Her virtues ever-abundant,
She releases all bondage, sparks joy and laughter and dance
The divine shelter for the shelterless, She is the eternal queen,
Radiant in Lord Shankara’s arms, may She bless us with auspiciousness. || 5 ||
