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.
