Oh, Goddess! You are smeared with fragrant Agaru, Sandal, and Kasturi. You purify the minds of those who worship your feet. Your attributes have been sung by Devas led by Indra. You are sweet and lovely. Your gait is that of the king of elephants and the swan. Your gait is gentle and your smile is sweet. remove the mass of sorrows from my mind in totality.
