1. 10

    आपत्सु मग्नः स्मरणं त्वदीयं करोमि दुर्गे करुणार्णवेशि । नैतच्छठत्वं मम भावयेथाः क्षुधातृषार्ता जननीं स्मरन्ति ॥१०॥

    (O Mother) I have sunk in misfortunes and therefore remembering you now (which I never did before), O Mother Durga, (you who are) an ocean of compassion, … (therefore) do not think of me as false (and my invocation as pretence), (because) when children are afflicted with hunger and thirst, they naturally remember their mother (Only).
