O Mother Durga, whoever remembers you during a difficult situation, is
freed of all forms of fear. When called to the mind by those who are in a
healthy condition, You grant them a pure intellect. Who is there but you –
the dispeller of poverty, pain and fear. Whose heart is ever compassionate
for doing good to everyone.
