Verse 6

कालाम्बुदालिललितोरसि कैटभारे-र्धाराधरे स्फुरति या तटिदङ्गनेव ।मातुः समस्तजगतां महनीयमूर्ति-र्भद्राणि मे दिशतु भार्गवनन्दनायाः ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

On the chest of the one who felled Kaiṭabha — dark and lovely as a piled bank of monsoon cloud, a raincloud itself — she flashes like a woman made of lightning. Mother of all the worlds, daughter of Bhṛgu: may that form, worthy of every reverence, grant me all good things.

Close to the Sanskrit

She who flashes like a lightning-woman upon the chest of Kaiṭabha's foe — that chest lovely with a bank of dark rain-clouds, itself a rain-bearer: may the adorable form of her, the Mother of all the worlds, the daughter of Bhṛgu, bestow good things upon me.
