Navarna Mantra, the root/seed mantra of Devi Mahatmyam recitation tradition
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.
Victory to you, Goddess Chamunda! Victory to you, remover of every creature's suffering! Victory to you, all-pervading Goddess Kalaratri — salutations to you.
