मनसा निर्मिताः सर्वे देवि देवादयो मया ॥ न वृद्धिमुपगच्छन्ति सृज्यमानाः पुनः पुनः ॥ १६ ॥

O Goddess, the gods and others are mentally created by me. Though they are created again and again they do not increase in number.

english translation

मिथुनप्रभवामेव कृत्वा सृष्टिमतः परम् ॥ संवर्धयितुमिच्छामि सर्वा एव मम प्रजाः ॥ १७ ॥

Hereafter I wish to increase the number through copulation.

english translation

न निर्गतं पुरा त्वत्तो नारीणां कुलमव्ययम् ॥ तेन नारीकुलं स्रष्टुं शक्तिर्मम न विद्यते ॥ १८ ॥

The race of women has not emerged from you. Hence I cannot create an everlasting race of women.

english translation

सर्वासामेव शक्तीनां त्वत्तः खलु समुद्भवः ॥ तस्मात्सर्वत्र सर्वेषां सर्वशक्तिप्रदायिनीम् ॥ १९ ॥

All the energies of the universe originate from You. Therefore, everywhere, she bestows all powers on everyone.

english translation

त्वामेव वरदां मायां प्रार्थयामि सुरेश्वरीम् ॥ चराचरविवृद्ध्यर्थमंशेनैकेन सर्वगे ॥ २० ॥

O goddess of the demigods, I pray to You, the illusory energy, who bestow all boons. One part of the universe is used to increase the moving and nonmoving creatures.
