In Virata Parva of Maha Bharatha, just before the great war,

With Kauravas by Yudhishtra , the eldest of the Pandavas).

1.Yasoda Garbha sambhoothaam, Narayana vara priyaam,

Nanda gopa kule jaathaam , Mangalya kula vardhaneem.

She who was born to Yasoda , She who likes boons of Narayana,
She who was born in the clan of Nanda gopa,
She who increases auspiciousness , as well as our family.

2.Kamsa vidhravanakarim , asuraanaam kshayamkarim,
Shilaathata vinikshiptham , aakaasaam prathi gaminim.

She caused fear to Kamsa, She who c destroyed Asuras,
She who rose up when dashed on a stone and went up the sky.

3.Vasudevasya bhagineem , divya mala vibhooshithaam,
Divyambara dharam devim , khadga ketaka dharinim.

She who is sister of Krishna , She who wore auspicious garlands,
The goddess who wore auspicious silk cloths,
She who is armed with a sword and a shield.

4.Bharavatharane punye ye smaranthi sadashivaam,
Thaan vai tharayase paapaath pankhe gamiva durbhalaam.

The holy one , who reduces burden of earth, and to those who meditate on Shiva,

5.Namosthu varade Krishne. Kumari brahmacharini,
Balakarsadhrusakare , poorna chandra nibhanane.

Salutations to the black one who gives boons,
Who remains as a maiden and observes Brahmacharya,
Who is like the rising Sun and is similar to the full moon.

8-9.Vibhrathi vipulou yaaha saakra dwaja samuchrayou,
Pathri cha panlaji ghnti sthree vishuddhacha yaa bhuvi,

Wheel and other weapons and you are the purest woman in this earth,
And you wear ear globes which increases your prettiness considerably.

With a crown and with peculiarly made up braid you look like a snake and shine,
And you with your very pretty waist belt ,
Shine like the mandhara mountain tied by a snake.

Atavyaam durga kaanthaare sagare gahane girou,
Ye smarishyanthi maam rajan yadhaham bhavathaa smruthaa.

To those people who sing this and live without deceit and sin,
And I would be satisfied to give them kingdom , health and long life,
And to those who sing this prayer as was done by you,

Or in forest with thorns , or in deep ocean or high mountain,
And then remember me , Oh king, I would appear as soon as they think about me.

27-28.Na thesham kinchid asmim loke bhavishyathi,
