Beautiful radiant energy! O immortal one! O consciousness of Bhairavī! Be victorious! Be victorious! O you who are the first (of all the goddesses) and divine! (You) who have descended into Dakṣa’s sacrifice and was born in the family of the Himalaya. You, O Kulā, are called Kālikā to whom the gods bow. O Mother! Protect me always, (you who are) the mother of the three worlds, the skyfaring goddess called Carcikā”.
