Godā Stuti, 9

mātaḥ samutthitavatīm adhi Viṣṇucittaṃ
viśvopajīvyam amṛtaṃ vacasā duhānām |
tāpa-cchidaṃ hima-rucer iva mūrtim anyāṃ
santaḥ payodhi-duhituḥ sahajāṃ vidus tvām || 9 ||



Mother!

        The daughter of Viṣṇucitta;

        The extractor, through Her words,
        of the nectar
                that sustains the cosmos;

        The second manifestation, as it were,
        of the ice-rayed moon,
                destroying burning affliction;

        The sister of Lakṣmī, 
        Daughter of the Ocean of Milk—

Thus do saintly people know You.
