इदं स्तोत्रं मातस्तव मनुसमुद्धारणजनुः
स्वरूपाख्यं पादाम्बुजयुगलपूजाविधियुतम् ।
निशार्धं वा पूजासमयमधि वा यस्तु पठति
प्रलापस्तस्यापि प्रसरति कवित्वामृतरसः ॥२१॥
idaṃ stotraṃ mātas tava manu-samuddhāraṇa-januḥ |
svarūpākhyaṃ pādāmbuja-yugala-pūjā-vidhi-yutam |
niśārdhaṃ vā pūjā-samayam adhi vā yas tu paṭhati |
pralāpas tasyāpi prasarati kavitvāmṛta-rasaḥ ||21||

O Mother, this hymn, born of the unfolding of Thy mantra and called Thy True Form (svarūpa), conjoined with the rite of worship of Thy pair of lotus-feet — whoever reads it at midnight or during worship, even his disordered speech flows as the nectar-essence of poetry.
