समस्तगीर्वाणगणस्य शक्तिस्तमोमयी धातृगुणैकदृश्या ॥ रजः प्रपंचात्तु भवैकरूपा या न श्रुता भव्यकरी स्तुतेह ॥ ३६ ॥

She who is the Tāmasika power of all the Gods, she who is visible in the Rājasika quality of the Creator, she who is heard by us as the benefactress and of the form of Śiva is eulogised here.

english translation

संसारसागरकरालभवाङ्गदुःखनिस्तारकारितरणिश्च निवीतहीना ॥ अष्टाङ्गयोगपरिपालनकेलिदक्षां विन्ध्यागवासनिरतां प्रणमाम तां वै ॥ ३७ ॥

Let us bow to her who is interested in residing on the Vindhya mountains; who is clever in the playful activity of affording protection to Aṣṭāṅga Yoga; who is devoid of cessation and who acts like a raft that enables the crossing of the ocean of worldly existence with its terrible miseries.

english translation

नासाक्षि वक्त्रभुजवक्षसि मानसे च धृत्या सुखानि वितनोषि सदैव जन्तोः ॥ निद्रेति याति सुभगा जगती भवा नः सा नः प्रसीदंतु भवस्थितिपालनाय ॥ ३८ ॥

May she be pleased with us, for keeping up the sustenance of the world, she, who in the form of slumber that is extremely exhilarating to all born in the universe, extends pleasure in the nose, eyes, face, arms, chest and the mind.

english translation

ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ इति स्तुत्वा महेशानीं जगदम्बामुमां सतीम् ॥ सुप्रेयमनसः सर्वे तस्थुस्ते दर्शनेप्सवः ॥ ३९ ॥

Brahmā said: Thus eulogising the great Goddess Satī, the mother of the universe, all of them stood waiting lovingly desirous of seeing her.
