== देवीस्तुतिः ॥ Devi Stuti ==
Listening to the enumeration of Devi's true nature and her form as the substratum of all, the deities begin to praise her as follows:<blockquote>नमो देव्यै महादेव्यै शिवायै सततं नमः । नमः प्रकृत्यै भद्रायै नियताः प्रणताः स्म ताम् ॥८॥
तामग्निवर्णां तपसा ज्वलन्तीं वैरोचनीं कर्मफलेषु जुष्टाम् । दुर्गां देवीं शरणमहं प्रपद्ये सुतरां नाशय ते तमः ॥९॥
देवीं वाचमजनयन्त देवास्तां विश्वरूपाः पशवो वदन्ति । सा नो मन्द्रेषमूर्जं दुहाना धेनुर्वागस्मानुपसुष्टुतैतु ॥१०॥
कालरात्रिं ब्रह्मस्तुतां वैष्णवीं स्कन्दमातरम् । सरस्वतीमदितिं दक्षदुहितरं नमामः पावनां शिवाम् ॥११॥
महालक्ष्मीश्च विद्महे सर्व सिद्धिश्च धीमहि । तन्नो देवी प्रचोदयात् ॥ १२॥
अदितिरिह जनिष्ट दक्षया दुहिता तव । तां देवा अन्वजायन्त भद्रा अमृतबन्धवः ॥१३॥<ref name=":3" />
namo devyai mahādevyai śivāyai satataṁ namaḥ । namaḥ prakr̥tyai bhadrāyai niyatāḥ praṇatāḥ sma tām ॥8॥
tāmagnivarṇāṁ tapasā jvalantīṁ vairocanīṁ karmaphaleṣu juṣṭām । durgāṁ devīṁ śaraṇamahaṁ prapadye sutarāṁ nāśaya te tamaḥ ॥9॥
devīṁ vācamajanayanta devāstāṁ viśvarūpāḥ paśavo vadanti । sā no mandreṣamūrjaṁ duhānā dhenurvāgasmānupasuṣṭutaitu ॥10॥
kālarātriṁ brahmastutāṁ vaiṣṇavīṁ skandamātaram । sarasvatīmaditiṁ dakṣaduhitaraṁ namāmaḥ pāvanāṁ śivām ॥11॥
mahālakṣmīśca vidmahe sarva siddhiśca dhīmahi । tanno devī pracodayāt ॥ 12॥
aditiriha janiṣṭa dakṣayā duhitā tava । tāṁ devā anvajāyanta bhadrā amr̥tabandhavaḥ ॥13॥</blockquote>Meaning:
* Salutation to the Goddess, the great Goddess ! To Shiva, the auspicious, salutations always. To blessed Prakrti, salutation ! Forever to Her we bow.
* Refuge I seek in Her who is the colour of fire, burning with ascetic ardour, Goddess resplendent, delighting in actions' fruits; O Devi, hard to reach, dispel our gloom.
The gods engendered divine speech; Her, beasts of all forms speak; The '''cow''' that yields sweet fruits and vigour - To us may lauded Speech appear.
* The deities gave rise to divine speech; Her, beasts of all forms speak; the cow that yields sweet fruits and vigour - to us may lauded Speech appear.
* To holy Shiva, to Daksha's daughter, to Aditi and Sarasvati, to Skanda's mother, Vishnu's Power, to Kalaratri lauded by Brahma, we render obeisance.
* Know we Great Lakshmi, Goddess of good Fortune; On all fulfilment do we meditate. May the Goddess inspire us !
* Through You, Dakshayani, was Aditi born; She is your daughter; after her were born the deities, auspicious, immortal beings.
In this stuti,
* tamah (gloom) is the darkness of ignorance concerning the supreme being who is the Goddess herself.
* Dhenu (cow) is the Vag dhenu yielding milk which is the fruit of actions (karmaphalātmakaṁ payaḥ). And this cow has been identified with Sarasvati.
* Kalaratri is the night of death or destruction. The term denotes the Goddess who destroys the darkness of dual appearances.<ref name=":2" />
