Verse 10

गीर्देवतेति गरुडध्वजसुन्दरीतिशाकम्भरीति शशिशेखरवल्लभेति ।सृष्टिस्थितिप्रलयकेलिषु संस्थितायैतस्यै नमस्त्रिभुवनैकगुरोस्तरुण्यै ॥ १० ॥

In plain words

They call her the goddess of speech. They call her the beauty at Viṣṇu's side. They call her Śākambharī, who feeds the world. They call her the beloved of Śiva, who wears the moon in his hair. Making the worlds, holding them, folding them away — she stands inside all three, and for her it is play. To her, the ever-young consort of the one teacher of the three worlds: my salutation.

Close to the Sanskrit

'The goddess of speech,' thus; 'the beauty of the Garuḍa-bannered one,' thus; 'Śākambharī,' thus; 'the beloved of the moon-crested one,' thus — to her who stands established within the plays of creation, preservation, and dissolution, to her, the youthful consort of the one teacher of the three worlds, salutation.
