सौम्या सौम्यतराशेषसौम्येभ्यस्त्वतिसुन्दरी।
परापराणां परमा त्वमेव परमेश्वरी ॥८१॥
यच्च किञ्चित्क्वचिद्वस्तु सदसद्वाऽखिलात्मिके।
तस्य सर्वस्य या शक्तिः सा त्वं किं स्तूयसे मया ॥८२॥

saumyā saumyatarāśeṣasaumyebhyastvatisundarī,

yacca kiñcitkvacid vastu sadasadvākhilātmike
tasya sarvasya yā śaktiḥ sā tvaṁ kiṁ stūyase mayā. 82

Devimahatmyam 1.81, 82

Thou art pleasing; more pleasing than all the pleasing things; thou art exceedingly beautiful. The lofty one beyond the superior and inferior, thou alone art the Supreme Sovereign.

O Soul of all! Whatever may be a thing, existent or non-existent, the power, śakti, in all those things is thyself. How can I praise thee?
