O Bhavani! The moment a devotee, merely wishing to pray 'O Bhavani, cast on me, Your servant, a glance of compassion', utters only the two words 'Bhavani tvam' — even then, You at once bestow upon him union (sayujya) with Yourself: that supreme state whose feet are worshipped by the radiant crowns of Vishnu, Brahma and Indra.
