I move with gods of radiation and light
With All-gods of materialization I wander.
I am the Goddess of the Eternal Word*!
~*~
I hold aloft both the lords of the day and
Night, and Indra, the lord of the heaven
And the Fire, the lord of the earth, and
Aswins,the makers of the dawn and twilight!
~*~
I swell the Moon with bliss of the heaven
I support the Sun to dispel the darkness!
I confer bliss divine on a devotee who leads
His life based on the wisdom of sages, and
Realizing me as light of the Soul in his heart!
~*~
I am the Queen of Cosmos with confluence of all riches
The most thoughtful, I am the foremost among those
Gods who merit the worship as the Lord of Creation
Established Me in all things in His own consciousness
All forms in the Universe and the energies all are mine!
~*~
He who eats, breathes and sees, hears or speaks
In the world only does so through me and though
He knows it not, beside me and within me he dwells!
In Me those who have no faith shall court disasters
I verily my self announced the Word to all the sages!
~*~
O wise man, listen to what I say from within thee
I make any man whom I love exceedingly mighty
I make him a Sage, a Rishi or Supreme Brahman
I bend the bow of Rudra and string it for striking
And slaying the enemies of the knowledge divine!
I rouse and cause battles to destroy the wicked men
I create the pleasant and beautiful world for all men
Having entered the universe I bring forth the Sun!
~*~
My home is in the waters of the ocean of consciousness
I gave birth to the life-breath,spread it over the worlds
My lustrous diadem touches the top of the Heavens.
Creating all the worlds I am flowing like the wind
Beyond this wide earth and beyond the Heavens
I have become so mighty in my grandeur!
