Translation

"To that Ambika, who by her own power pervades this world, whose form is the sum of the powers of all the gods, worshipped by all gods and great sages, we bow in devotion. May she grant us what is auspicious.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

"जिन देवी ने अपनी शक्ति से इस जगत को व्याप्त कर रखा है, सब देवताओं की शक्तियों का समूह ही जिनका स्वरूप है, सब देवताओं और महर्षियों की पूज्य उन अम्बिका को हम भक्तिपूर्वक नमस्कार करते हैं। वे हमारा कल्याण करें।

Commentary

The hymn begins by remembering how she was born: from the combined powers of all the gods (2.10–13). Now the gods bow to the power that was once their own, recognising it as greater than all of them together.
