In the supreme void of thy divine consciousness

Goddess of paradoxes

In perpetual transfiguration

Who conceives and exterminates

Who hath severed thine own head

Being devoured and the devourer

Ephemeral and illusory

Bright as a million suns

Creatress, Destructress

Worshiped at the left-hand path

Ensanguined and cascading

Incarnadine and rubicund

Exuding marvel and fury

Thou subjugate the amorous couple

Prachanda Chandika

Victorious over time and fate

Destroyer of delusion

With transcendental knowledge

All are nourished at thy crimson fount

Hematic absorption and transformation

Invigorating and depleting

Death of ego

Cast away the veil of ignorance

Remembrance of immutable eternal nature

Attaining Atman

Devoid of limitation

Inherent of incarnate spirits

Served by fierce ghosts

The Great Terrible One

Of terrific form

In beheading thyself

Thou giveth and thou taketh

Embodying the savage circle

In endless cycles

A reminder that life feeds on death
