With her gem studded anklets making jingling sound,
Who has the fame of creating the world and being praised by Brahma and other devas,
Who is filled with pretty voice like that of a parrot and is the daughter of the mountain.

Oh mother I have committed mistakes, so look after me Oh Lalitha Parameshwari,

And who was armed with great divine weapons
Which she used to kill the disobedient asuras.
