न मन्त्रं नो यन्त्रं तदपि च न जाने स्तुतिमहो
न चाह्वानं ध्यानं तदपि च न जाने स्तुतिकथाः ।
न जाने मुद्रास्ते तदपि च न जाने विलपनं
परं जाने मातस्त्वदनुसरणं क्लेशहरणम् ॥१॥
na mantraṃ no yantraṃ tadapi ca na jāne stutimaho
na cāhvānaṃ dhyānaṃ tadapi ca na jāne stutikathāḥ .
na jāne mudrāste tadapi ca na jāne vilapanaṃ
paraṃ jāne mātastvadanusaraṇaṃ kleśaharaṇam ..1..
(O Mother) neither your mantra, nor yantra (do I know); and alas, not even I know your stutI (eulogy),
I do not know how to invoke you through dhyana (meditation); (and alas), not even I know how to simply recite your glories (stuti-katha),
I do not know your mudras (to contemplate on you); (and alas), not even I know how to simply cry for you,
However, one thing I know (for certain); by following you (somehow through rememberance however imperfectly) will take away all my afflictions (from my mind).
