In this material world, neither father, nor mother, neither relatives nor helpers, neither son nor daughter, neither husband nor wife, neither scriptural wisdom nor professional knowledge - are mine.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !!
Having been fallen into the limitless ocean of birth and death, ever tied myself by greed, pride, delusion and desire, I am very fearful of this sorrowful existence.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

O Mother, I have made no charity; I have done no meditation; I have observed no rituals; nor have I uttered any prayer or holy Name. I have performed no worship; nor have I purified myself through proper invocations.
Therefore, O Thou Mother of the universe, Thou art my only Refuge; Thou art my only Shelter.

I do not know either the righteous deeds nor Your sacred abode nor how to achieve freedom from material bondage by dissolving my ego. I am unable to achieve Divine Love, not even inclined to follow any spiritual descipline to attain it.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal refuge !!

I am continuously engaged in worthless thoughts and improper actions. My dull Intellect has been enslaved by bad habits. I am always unable to conduct myself admirably and my character is utterly shameful to the society along with my critical views and unruly speech.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal refuge !!
I do not know Lords Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Surya and Chandra, or any other Divine personalities. So I have taken my full surrender forever in You.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !!
O compassionate Mother, kindly protect me wherever I am, from all kinds of injuries either on water or fire, or on mountains or in jungles, or in disputes with enemies, or in distress of abandonment.
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !!
