(Listen, Oh Goddess, while i elucidate the excellent song which gives the key to perfection. By means of the brilliance of these mantras, the meditation of the goddess Chandi becomes easy)
na kavacam nargala stotram kilakam na rahasyakam na suktam napi dhyanam ca na nyaso na ca varcanam
(Not the armor, nor the praise which unlocks the bolt, nor the praise which removes the pin, nor the secrets: neither the hymns, nor even the meditations, nor the establishment of the mantras into the body nor the offering of worship and adoration)
(The recitation of the mantras which give the key will grant the fruits of the recitation of the glory of the goddess. Oh Goddess, this is extremely secretive and difficult even for the Gods to attain.)
