1.    The Enchantress of the Three Worlds:
I bow to Goddess Kamakshi, seated upon a bejeweled throne, radiant like countless moons, enchantress of the three worlds, adorned in divine attire, and ever granting blessings beyond desire.
    2.    The Auspicious and Benevolent One:
Beautifully adorned with fragrant garlands and red garments, she holds a parrot and a lotus, ever worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. She bestows the power of discrimination and grants wisdom and serenity.
    3.    The Consciousness Supreme:
Residing in the throne of omniscience, served by saints and sages, she embodies will, wisdom, and action. Worship of her lotus feet leads to liberation and divine realization.

Praised by the Vedas and born of the Om vibration, she shines with the brilliance of divine love, decked with jasmine and champaka garlands. She is free of worldly rites, yet the heart of spiritual practice.

Ever eager to protect her devotees, she burns away sorrow and grants all boons like a wish-fulfilling cow. Worshipped by sages, she fills their hearts with bliss.

She grants Kaivalya, pure liberation, her golden crown dazzling with gems. Her eyes are lotus-like, and she is adored by gods, humans, and celestial beings alike.

Ruler of the worlds, decked with Mandara flowers, she is both human and cosmic — with three eyes, blue locks, and a smiling face — the very essence of beauty and grace.
    8.    Bringer of Divine Joy:
She is the source of Brahmananda (spiritual bliss), giver of knowledge, wealth, and virtue, the goddess presiding over all mantras and sacrifices, granting fulfillment and perfection to all endeavors.

She rescues beings from the ocean of worldly existence. Worshipped by the gods, she is adorned with the crescent moon and loves divine music. Her blessings remove infertility and grant victory in all endeavors.
