You are Success, Prosperity, Constancy, Fame, Modesty, Knowledge, Humility, Thought, Twilight, Fortune, Form, Wisdom, Loveliness, Faith, Action, Refuge; Twilight, Night, Radiance, Sleep, and likewise Kālarātri. (47.54) But those who will praise you with devotion with this hymn, O auspicious one — for such a man I do not perish, and he does not perish for me. I shall declare the Hymn to the Noble Lady, as it was spoken by the seers of old: I bow to Nārāyaṇī, the goddess, mistress of the three worlds. When worshipped you will quell for men bondage, dreadful slaughter, the loss of sons, the ruin of wealth, and the fear of disease and death. (47.55) You will be, O greatly fortunate one, a granter of boons, taking any form at will; and having bewildered that Kaṃsa, you alone will enjoy the world. I too shall arrange my own livelihood among cows, like a cowherd; and for my own increase I shall bring about the slaying of Kaṃsa.
