Gives us  freedom from the sorrow caused  by Samsara.

Keeping on doing mistakes and thus  this rare  birth,

As a human being is  torn in to  totters,

Like the garland   which fell in to the hand of monkey.

Towards its calf like that  let my mind come before you,

Of destroyer of  worries and sorrows, Oh doer  of ,

Auspecious deeds, Oh goddess  of the universe,

Destroy all my sinsand bless me to come before you.
