jaya jaya hē mahiṣāsuramardini ramyakapardini śailasutē ॥ 20 ॥
20.1: Salutations to You O Divine Mother, I Invoke You; Whose Moon-Like Face is the Abode of Spotless and Stainless Purity which Certainly Subdues All Impurities,
20.2: Otherwise, Why have my Mind Turned Away from the Moon-Faced Beautiful Ladies like those present in Indra's Castle?
20.3: According to my opinion; Without Your Grace, How is it possible to Discover the Treasure of Shiva's Name within us? (Therefore I continue to Invoke Your Grace),
20.4: Victory to You, Victory to You, I take Refuge in Your Auspicious Feet, O the Destroyer of Demon Mahishasura;Who Shine with Beautiful Locks of Hair and Who is the Daughter of the Mountain.

अयि मयि दीनदयालुतया कृपयैव त्वया भवितव्यमुमे
अयि जगतो जननी कृपयासि यथासि तथाऽनुभितासिरते ।
यदुचितमत्र भवत्युररि कुरुतादुरुतापमपाकुरु ते [मे]
जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते ॥ 21 ॥
ayi mayi dīnadayālutayā kṛpayaiva tvayā bhavitavyamumē
ayi jagatō jananī kṛpayāsi yathāsi tathā'nubhitāsiratē ।
yaduchitamatra bhavatyurari kurutādurutāpamapākuru tē
jaya jaya hē mahiṣāsuramardini ramyakapardini śailasutē ॥ 21 ॥
21.1: Salutations to You O Divine Mother, I Invoke You; You Must Bestow Your Grace on Me, O Mother Uma, Who is Compassionate to the Miserable,
21.2: I Invoke You, O Mother of the Universe; Just as Your Grace is Showered (on the Devotees), In the Same Manner, are Your Arrows Scattered (on the Enemies),
21.3 Please do Whatever is Appropriate at this time, O Worshipful Mother, to Remove the Sorrows and Afflictions (of the world) which has become Difficult for me to bear,
21.4: Victory to You, Victory to You, I take Refuge in Your Auspicious Feet, O the Destroyer of Demon Mahishasura; Who Shine with Beautiful Locks of Hair and Who is the Daughter of the Mountain.
Shri Durga Strotams
इति श्री महिषासुरमर्दिनि स्तोत्रम् ॥
iti śrī mahiṣāsuramardini stōtram ॥
Thus ends the auspicious mahishasura mardini strotam.
