1. 1

    न मन्त्रं नो यन्त्रं तदपि च न जाने स्तुतिमहो न चाह्वानं ध्यानम् तदपि च न जाने स्तुतिकथाः । न जाने मुद्रास्ते तदपि च न जाने विलपनं परं जाने मातस्त्वदनुसरणं क्लेशहरणम् ॥ १ ॥

    (O Mother) neither your mantra, nor yantra (do I know); and alas, not even I know your stutI (eulogy), I do not know how to invoke you through dhyana (meditation); (and alas), not even I know how to simply recite your glories (stuti-katha), I do not know your mudras (to contemplate on you); (and alas), not even I know how to simply cry for you, However, one thing I know (for certain); by following you (somehow through rememberance however imperfectly) will take away all my afflictions (from my mind).
