Pallavi
I Depend on the Goddess who killed Chanda,
She who is mischievous, good and an expert in taking care of others

Anupallavi
She who shines like the Suns rays ,
She who is the Goddess Chamunda,
And the darling of Lord Shiva.

Mahyama Kalam
She who rides on a lion, She who is consort of Shiva,
She whose limbs are like that of a deer, She who is mischievous,
She who has middle like that of a deer, She who attracted the enemy of God of love,
She who takes care of men and Gods, she who has pretty limbs

Charanam
She who is the golden Durga, The Goddess who is auspicious,
She who has a black good body, She who is the consort of Shambhu
She who is the sister of the dear one of Lakshmi,
She who removes the fear of birth and death
