ॐ करालवदनां घोरां मुक्तकेशीं चतुर्भुजाम्।
कालिकां दक्षिणां दिव्यां मुण्डमालाविभूषिताम्॥
oṁ karālavadanāṁ ghorāṁ muktakeśīṁ caturbhujām. kālikāṁ dakṣiṇāṁ divyāṁ muṇḍamālāvibhūṣitām.
Om. Her face fearsome, Her form awesome, Her hair unbound, four-armed — Kalika, Dakshina, radiant, adorned with a garland of heads;
सद्यश्छिन्नशिरःखड्गवामाधोर्ध्वकराम्बुजाम्।
अभयं वरदञ्चैव दक्षिणोर्ध्वाधःपाणिकाम्॥
sadyaśchinnaśiraḥkhaḍgavāmādhordhvakarāmbujām. abhayaṁ varadañcaiva dakṣiṇordhvādhaḥpāṇikām.
in Her left hands, below and above, a head just severed and the sword; Her right hands, above and below, giving freedom from fear and granting boons;
महामेघप्रभां श्यामां तथा चैव दिगम्बरीम्।
कण्ठावसक्तमुण्डालीगलद्रुधिरचर्चिताम्॥
mahāmeghaprabhāṁ śyāmāṁ tathā caiva digambarīm. kaṇṭhāvasaktamuṇḍālīgaladrudhiracarcitām.
dark as a great rain cloud, Shyama, clothed only in the directions, the garland of heads at Her throat. Her we hold in mind.
