Who is the house wife of the Lord of the worlds,
And who is the daughter of the ocean which gave nectar[24].

To receive your pity and compassion.

He who recites these prayers daily,
On her who is personification of Vedas,
On her who is the mother of the three worlds,
On her who is Goddess Rema[25],

With all good graceful qualities,
With all the great fortunes that one can get,
And would live in the world,
With great recognition from even the learned.
