Translation
O Mother, may this white whisk, like the moon and the jasmine, which takes away the discomfort of heat, ever waved by lovely women, increase your joy; and may the sound of the Vedas, which Agastya, Vasiṣṭha, Nārada, Śuka, Vyāsa, Vālmīki and the others are reciting even now in their hearts, bring you happiness.
