Dhyanam

OM  Bala Ravi vidhyuthi , indhu kireetaam thunga kuchaam  , nayana thraya  yukthaam,

Smera mukhim  vadangusa pasa bheethi karaam   prabhaje   bhuvanesim.

Meditating   form

I pray  Bhuvaneswari  who shines like sun of dawn, who   has the crescent  on her crown,

Who has  lofty  breats   and has   three eyes,

Who has a smiling face , and who is fearsome holding the rope and the goad.
