Sarva mangalamangalye sive sarvrth sdhike sharanye tryambake gouri

I bow to Thee Gouri Narayani,

three-eyed.

Invoked of yore by the devas for the sake of their desired object, And adored
by the lord of the devas every day,
May she, the Ishvari, the source of all good,
Accomplish for us all auspicious things and put an end to our calamities!
(from the Fifth Chapter called Devis conversation with the messenger of
Devi
Mahatmya in Markandeya-purana during the period of Savarni, the Manu).
Closing slokam:
yadaksharam pari bhrastam mtr hinancha yadbhavet purnam bhavatu tat
sarvam tat prasdn maheshwari
If there be any missing letter or meter, let this be completed, O Supreme
Goddess (Maheswari), by Thy grace.
sarvasvarupe sarvaishe sarvashaktisamanvite, bhaebhyas trahi no devi durge
devi namostute
Oh Queen of all, You who exist in the form of all and possess every might
Save us from error, Oh Devi Salutation be to You, Devi Durga!
Om bhavatpa pranshinyai nandaghana murtaye jnnabhakti pradinyai
mtastubhyam namonamah.
Mother, I bow to Thee again and again, destroyer of worldly sufferings,
embodiment of bliss, dispenser of wisdom and devotion.
