O Uma, O Shakambhari, O white-coloured deity, O black-coloured goddess, O destroyer of Kaitabha Asura, O yellow-eyed one, O various eyed one, O smoke coloured eyed one, I bow to you. You are the Vedas, you are the Shrutis, you are the highest virtue. You are propitious to Brahmanas who are engaged in sacrifices, you posses the knowledge of the past, you are ever present in the sacred abodes erected in your honour in the Jambudvipa.
उमे शाकम्भरि श्वेते कृष्णे कैटभनाशिनि। हिरण्याक्षि विरूपाक्षि सुधूम्राक्षि नमोऽस्तु ते॥ वेदश्रुति महापुण्ये ब्रह्मण्ये जातवेदसि। जम्बूकटकचैत्येषु नित्य सन्निहितालये॥
