Who is the goddess of all the worlds,

Who is the sweet heart of God Shambhu,

And who is the white coloured Goddess worshipped by Brahma.

Who expels enemies , who blesses with good things,

Who always gives us happy results,

And who is the consort of Shiva

Goddess with thin waist who is interested in singing of Sama Veda,

Baala the lass and Goddess who has made it a habit,

Of destroying the sufferings of her devotees,
