बन्धूककांचननिभम् रुचिराक्षमालाम् पाशांकुशौ च वरदा निजबगहुदंडै:। बिभ्राणमिन्दुशकलाभरणं त्रिनेत्रम् अर्धाम्बिकेशमनिशम् वपुराश्रयामि ।। bandhūkakāñcananibham rucira_akṣamālām pāśa_aṅkuśau ca varadāṃ nijabāhudaṇḍaiḥ। bibhrāṇaminduśakala_ābharaṇaṃ tri-netram ardhāmbikeśam aniśam vapur āśrayāmi।। I take refuge day and night in Ambikā whose half body is the three-eyed Śiva adorned with the radiant half-moon. Her color is gold and red like the bandhūka flower. In her (four) hands are seen a beautiful rudrākṣa rosary, a rope, a hook, and the mudrā of boon giving.
