[Note 1: 'ya: Vāṇīśa, extended' — so reads ms. ña.] Oṃ, homage to the Lord Rudra, homage; and homage to Cāmuṇḍā, homage to the Sky-Mothers, who accomplish every desired aim, who are ageless and deathless, whose course is unimpeded everywhere, who change their own shape into other shapes, who are engaged in all the acts of subjugating, destroying and uprooting all beings — the secret of all the Mothers, the heart (mantra), supremely accomplished, cutting off the rites of others, bestowing the highest attainment, the auspicious utterance of the Mothers: in the words of the Brahmā-section, one hundred and twenty-one, together with the Rudras.
