कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं
Karpūra Gauraṃ Karuṇāvatāraṃ
Camphor-white, the very incarnation of compassion,
संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम् ।
Saṃsāra Sāraṃ Bhujagendra Hāram
the essence of all existence, wearing the king of serpents as a garland;
सदा वसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे
Sadā Vasantaṃ Hṛdayāravinde
ever dwelling within the lotus of the heart,
भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि ॥
Bhavaṃ Bhavānī-sahitaṃ Namāmi
I bow to Bhava, together with Bhavani.
