Argala Stotram, recited within the Chandi Path / Durga Saptashati liturgy
That Goddess who abides in all beings as consciousness—salutations.
Salutations to the Goddess, to the Great Goddess, to the auspicious one — constant salutations. We, ever disciplined in devotion, bow to her who is Nature itself, the gracious one.
To the Goddess who abides within all beings in the form of primal Power, we bow again and again — salutation, salutation, salutation, and repeated obeisance.
Markandeya said: O Grandsire, tell me that supreme secret of the world which grants complete protection to humankind, and which has been revealed to no one before.
