The Devi of Navratri

असुरासृग्वसापङ्कचर्चितस्ते करोज्ज्वलः।

asurāsr̥gvasāpaṅkacarcitaste karojjvalaḥ.

Bright in Your hand, and smeared with the blood and fat of the asuras —

शुभाय खड्गो भवतु चण्डिके त्वां नता वयम्॥

śubhāya khaḍgo bhavatu caṇḍike tvāṁ natā vayam.

let that sword be for our good, O Chandika. We bow to You.
