Prostration to Thee who art (in the form of) the Saktis competent to strike all round in various ways; prostration to Thee who art the gentle higher Saktis as well as the violent lower Saktis; prostration to Thee who art those that run after sense-pleasures as also their leaders; prostration to Thee who art the hosts of (living and non-living) beings as well as their chiefs.

Note: —The word 'Sakti' does not occur in the original but is used in the translation to bring out the significance of the feminine gender of the words in the mantra, which indicate the various Saktis or Powers of the Lord. Sayana states that the gentle ones are the seven Matrikas, etc, while the violent ones are Durga, etc.
