Victory to the primordial Power, the primal Goddess,
Hail to the first energy that brings forth the cosmos.
Salutations to that Adya Shakti, radiant as the dawn,
Who dispels darkness and ignorance with her light.
She who is the source of creation, preservation, and dissolution,
The power behind all gods, sages, and living beings.
O Mother, we bow to your boundless compassion and strength;
Protect us, guide us, and grant us wisdom and courage.
May your blessings remove obstacles and fulfill righteous aims;
May your name be sung by devotees across time.
Glory to the eternal Goddess, the supreme divine force—Jay Adhya Shakti! Victory to you, Mother Adhya Shakti

The hymn embodies the concept of Nirguna (without qualities) and Saguna (with qualities) worship. It begins by praising the formless, primordial energy and transitions into describing specific manifestations such as Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati.

The text also reflects the cultural syncretism of Indian society, explicitly invoking the blessings of the Goddess for the welfare of distinct communities—the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, and the Shudras—symbolizing her role as the Mother of all creation, irrespective of social standing.
