Translation

(WORSHIP THIS GREAT GODDESS)

She (SatKriyaa) changes the wicked into saints. She changes the fools into intelligent. She changes the enemies into friends. She makes that which is unseen to be seen. She turns poison into nectar instantly. Hey good man! Adore that Goddess, the ‘Good act’ if you want to enjoy the fruit you desire. Do not wastefully chase the countless pleasures of the senses which surely end up in problems! {/:तगतं अWं- / यWं - इिFयगोचरं – perceived by senses directly – Saadhu means- talented, efficient Oयसनं - 0वप द jंशे- Vyasana means danger, destruction, problem} ॥ 93 ॥
