O you stationed in truth, we have sought refuge in you. O you delighted with truth [i.e., satyasuprītā], Origin of truth, Truth of Truth, of truthful sight. O beloved of Śiva, great goddess, O destroyer of the miseries of gods, you are the mother of the three worlds, consort of Śiva, pervasive and favourably disposed to your devotees. [...]”.
