अतद्व्यावृत्तितस्तां वै चकितं चकितं सदा ॥ अभिधत्ते श्रुतिरपि परेषां का कथा मता ॥ ११ ॥

Even the Vedas mention you, trembling with fright, by negating what you are not. What will be the matter in regard to others?

english translation

जानन्ति बहवो भक्तास्त्वत्कृपां प्राप्य भक्तितः ॥ शरणागतभक्तानां न कुत्रापि भयादिकम् ॥ १२ ॥

Many devotees know the same after getting your favour through devotion. There is no cause for fear to the devotees who seek refuge in you.

english translation

विज्ञप्तिं शृणु सुप्रीता यस्या दासास्सदाम्बिके ॥ तव देवि महादेवि हीनतो वर्णयामहे ॥ १३ ॥

O great Goddess listen to our submission which we, your slaves for ever, are going to explain.

english translation

पुरा दक्षसुता भूत्वा संजाता हरवल्लभा ॥ ब्रह्मणश्च परेषां वा नाशयत्वमकंमहत् ॥ १४ ॥

Formerly you were born as the daughter of Dakṣa and were married to Śiva. You destroyed the great misery of Brahmā and others.

पितृतोऽनादरं प्राप्यात्यजः पणवशात्तनुम् ॥ स्वलोकमगमस्त्वं वालभद्दुःखं हरोऽपि हि ॥ १५ ॥

Being disrespected by your father, you cast off your body in accordance with your vow. You then went to your own world and Śiva became miserable.
