I worship Devī seated on a lotus, who is radiant like thousands of rising suns, who has three eyes in her shining lotus face, who has a moon and gems bound to her crown. She is wearing a red silk sari, and a garland of heads. Her breasts are smeared with red. In her lotus hands she is keeping a rosary for japa, and the mudrās of jñāna, fearlessness, and granting boons.
