Devi's Dialogue with the Messenger

रौद्रायै नमो नित्यायै गौर्यै धात्र्यै नमो नमः । ज्योत्स्नायै चेन्दुरूपिण्यै सुखायै सततं नमः ॥ १० ॥

raudrāyai namo nityāyai gauryai dhātryai namo namaḥ jyotsnāyai chendurūpiṇyai sukhāyai satataṁ namaḥ

Translation

Salutations to the fierce one, to the eternal, to Gauri, to the sustainer; salutation always to her who is moonlight, who is the moon, who is happiness.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

रौद्रा, नित्या, गौरी और धात्री को बारंबार नमस्कार; ज्योत्स्नामयी, चन्द्ररूपिणी और सुखस्वरूपा देवी को सदा नमस्कार।

Commentary

Fierce (raudra) and gentle (moonlight, happiness) stand side by side, as throughout the Saptashati.
