अलक्ष्यलक्षकिन्नरामरासुरादिपूजितंसुलक्षनीरतीरधीरपक्षिलक्षकूजितम् ।वसिष्ठशिष्टपिप्पलादिकर्दमादिशर्मदेत्वदीयपादपङ्कजं नमामि देवि नर्मदे ॥ ५ ॥

In plain words

Kinnaras, gods, asuras — hosts past counting, and mostly past seeing — come to worship at your feet. On the banks of your bright water a hundred thousand birds call without fear, and their calling never stops. You gave Vasiṣṭha shelter, and Śiṣṭa, and Pippalāda, and Kardama, and all the others who came after. To your lotus feet I bow, Devi Narmadā.

Close to the Sanskrit

Worshipped by uncountable hundreds of thousands of kinnaras, gods, asuras and the rest; made to resound with the cooing of a hundred thousand unstartled birds on the banks of your fair water — O giver of refuge to Vasiṣṭha, Śiṣṭa, Pippalāda and the others, to Kardama and the rest — your lotus feet I bow to, O Devi Narmadā.
