अयि कमले कमलानिलये कमलानिलयः स कथं न भवेत् ।
तव पदमेव परम्पदमित्यनुशीलयतो मम किं न शिवे
जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते ॥ १८ ॥
Ayi kamale kamalānilaye kamalānilayaḥ sa kathaṃ na bhavet .
Tava padameva parampadamityanuśīlayato mama kiṃ na śive
Jaya jaya he mahiṣāsuramardini ramyakapardini śailasute ॥ 18 ॥
