With your organs of beauty and brilliance, your bluish black locks imitating

the rows of bees, you bind all the attention of Shiva. Let me wave the

incense made of the ten ingredients, guggulu and ghee for you, sporting in

the centers of pleasure.

Let me kindle auspiciousness in your hall shining with precious stones and

gem decked pillars arrayed like a garland, bearing young women sculptures

carrying lamps in their hands with their flames in the wicks nurtured with

ghee. Oh daughter of the mountains let me offer you rows of such divine

lamps as a mental offering to please you.

Oh Goddess of the hrimkara, now I present to you my offering of naivedya

(food) in thousands of golden plates with divine cooked rice filled with

ghee, soup, varied flavored rice preparations, curd rice, honey and sugar,

mixed in emerald vessels and thousands of black gram cakes.

Oh, goddess Uma placed before you are the leaves from the tamboola creeper,

having the fragrance of the ketaki plant, the luscious arica nuts sweet and

fragrant mixed with pieces of shining camphor bits, with powdered pearls and

other articles pleasurable to your mouth, and a diamond - studded goblet.
