 O Devi! You are the intelligence by which the essence of all scriptures
 is known. You are Goddess Durga, the boat by which we may cross the
 difficult ocean of illusory existence. You are Goddess Lakshmi who alone
 resides in the heart of Vishnu. You are Gauri (Parvati) who has
 established Herself as the spouse of Shiva.
