OM.
I worship
The Incomparable Maha Saravati,
Who Holds In Her Lotus-Like Hands The Bell, Trident, Plough, Conch, Mace, Discus, Bow And Arrow;
Who Is Effulgent like the moon shining at the edge of the cloud; Who Is The Support of the three worlds; And Who Came Forth From The Body Of Gauri To Destroy śumbha and other asuras.
-from the Third and Final Carita, The “Devi Mahatmya”
