Pallavi

Please protect me Oh delightful beauty, who does not have any blemish,
Who has a full moon like face and has lotus like eyes.

Anupallavi

Oh Lovely one who is served by Yakshas and Kinnaras,
And who takes the real form of Lord Shiva.

Charanam

Goddess who killed Mahishasura and broke him,
The daughter of the mountain who was the consort of Lord Shiva,
The pretty one who is worshipped, the Goddess Chamunda,
The Great Bhairavi who encourages Bharani.
