WHO seeks holy places Gaya and Ganga and Prabhas and

                                                    Kashi and Kanchi and all,

If I can tell to the end the countless count of the name of

                                                                                   Kali?

What need has one of rituals, if all the three holy hours

                                                 one utters the name of Kali?

The rituals pursue him in vain and find him not.

Neither charity nor benevolence nor rites have any room

              in his consciousness.

He has done the sacrifice of the passions at the golden

feet of the Divine Mother.

Who can know the infinite power of the name, Kali?

The God of gods, the great God, Mahadeva himself sings

                                            multiple-tongued praises to her.
