यामस्तोत् स्वपिते हरौ कमलजो हन्तुं मधु कैटभम्।
नीलाश्मद्युतिमास्यपाददशकां सेवे महाकालिकाम्।

yāmastaut svapite harau kamalajo hantuṁ madhuṁ kaiṭabham,
nīlāśmadyutimāsyapādadaśakāṁ seve mahākālikām.

Devi Mahatmyam – Mahakalidhyanam

Who shines like a blue stone and has ten feet and whom the lotus-born Brahma lauded in order to slay Madhu and Kaitava when Hari was asleep, I worship that Mahākālikā.

(Translation by Shankaranarayanan)
Glory of the Divine Mother, p. 133.

सेवे महातारिका कोमलाङ्गि देवि दुर्गे॥
ॐ श्रीनारायणि नीलावगुण्ठे॥
ॐ नमो देवि दुर्गे॥
ॐ श्रीनारायणि नीलावगुण्ठे॥

seve mahātārikāṁ komalāṅgi devi durge.
om śrī nārāyaṇi nīlāvaguṇṭhe.
om namo devi durge.
om śrī nārāyaṇi nīlāvaguṇṭhe.

I worship that Mahatarika, the graceful-tenderlimbed Devi Durga.

OM. Sri Narayani veiled in blue.
OM. I bow to Devi Durga.
OM. Sri Narayani veiled in blue.

अक्षस्त्रक्परशुं गदेषुकुलिशं पद्मं धनुः कुण्डिका
दण्ड शक्तिमसिं च चर्म जलजं घाण्टां सुराभाजनम्।
शूलं पाशसुदर्शने च दधतीं हस्तैः प्रवालप्रभा
सेवे सैरिभमर्दिनीमिह महालक्ष्मी सरोजस्थिताम् ॥

Devi mahatamyam – Mahalakshmidhyanam

Wielding in Her hands the string of beads, battle axe, mace, arrow, thunderbolt, lotus, bow, water-pot, cudgel, lance, sword, shield, conch, bell, wine-cup, trident, noose and the discus Sudarsana, She has a complexion of coral and is seated on a lotus. I worship here that Mahalaxmi, the vanquisher of asura, Mahisha.
