Translation
Your pure moon-like family purifies all impurities of the moon-like face, what of the moon-faced one in Indra’s city, made averse by beautiful faces? In my opinion, O wealth of auspicious names, what more is done by your grace? Victory, victory to you, O slayer of Mahishasura, O beautiful one with matted hair, O daughter of the mountain.
