two other great asuras, Sumbha and

tatastau nasayisyami vindhyachala nivasini. (42)

42. Then born from the womb of Yasoda,

in the home of cowherd Nanda, and dwelling on the
Vindhya mountains, I will destroy them both.

52
 Punarapyati raudrena rupena prthivitale
avatirya hanisyami vaiprachittamstu danavan. (43)

43. And again having incarnated in a

very terrible form on the earth, I shall slay the danavas,
who are the descendants of Vipracitti.

rakta danta bhavisyanti dadimi kusumopamah. (44)

44. When I shall devour the fierce and

great asuras descended from Vipracitti,
My teeth shall become red like the flower of pomegranate.

54
Tato mam devatah svarge martyaloke ca manavah
stuvanto vyaharisyanti satatam raktadantikam. (45)

45. Therefore when devas in heaven and

men on the earth praise Me,
they shall always talk of Me as the ‘Red-toothed’.

55
 Bhuyascha satavarsikyam anavrstyam anambhasi
munibhih samstuta bhumau sambhavisyamyayonija. (46)

46. And again when rain shall fail for a

period of hundred years, propitiated by the munis
I shall be born on the drought-ridden earth,
but not womb-begotten.

56
 Tatah satena netranam niriksisyami yan munin
kirtayisyanti manujah sataksimiti mam tatah. (47)

47. Then I shall behold the munis with a hundred eyes and
so mankind shall glorify Me as the ‘hundred-eyed’.

57
 Tato’hamakhilam lokam atmadeha samudbhavaih
bharisyami surah sakair avrsteh pranadharakaih. (48)

48. At that time, O devas, I shall maintain the

whole world with life-sustaining vegetables,
born out of My own (cosmic) body, till rains set in.

58
 Sakambhariti vikhyatim tada yasyamyaham bhuvi
tatraiva cha vadhisyami durgamakhyam mahasuram. (49)

49. I shall be famed on the earth then as Sakambhari.

At that very period I shall slay the
great asura named Durgama.

59
 Durgadeviti vikhyatam tanme nama bhavisyati
punaschaham yada bhimam rupam krtva himachale. (50)

Raksamsi ksyayisyami muninam tranakaranat

tada mam munayah sarve stosyantyanamra murtayah. (51)

yadarunakhyas trailokye mahabadham karisyati. (52)

Tadaham bhramaram rupam krtva’sankhyeya satpadam

trailokyasya hitarthaya vadhisyami mahasuram. (53)

60
 50 - 53. Thereby I shall have the celebrated name of
Durga Devi. And again, assuming a terrible form on the
mountain Himalaya, I shall destroy the raksasas for the
protection of the munis. Then all the munis,
bowing their bodies reverently, shall praise Me, and
thereby I shall have the celebrated name of Bhima Devi.
When the (asura) named Aruna shall work great havoc
in the three worlds, having taken a (collective) bee-form,
consisting of innumerable bees, I shall slay the great
asura for the good of the world.

61
Bhramariti cha mam lokas tada stosyanti sarvatah
ittham yada yada badha danavottha bhavisyati. (54)

Tada tadavatiryaham karisyamyarisamksayam. (55)

54 - 55. And then the people shall laud Me

everywhere as Bhramari. Thus whenever trouble arises
due to the advent of the danavas,
I shall incarnate and destroy foes.

 Salutations to Devi Saraswati who is
pure white like jasmine, with the coolness of the moon,
brightness of snow, who shines like a garland of
pearls and who is covered in white garments.
She, whose hands are adorned with a veena,
and whose seat is the pure white lotus; She,
who is praised by Brahma, Vishnu,
and Mahesh and prayed to by the devas.
O Mother Saraswati,
please remove my mental dullness and ignorance.
