In plain words

Close to the Sanskrit

Her whose forehead is marked with the ornamental tilaka, her who delights in radiant song, the sole protector of her own devotees, her whose cheeks hold glory and splendour; and in her hand the rosary of beads, glittering, ancient, swaying — I worship Mother Śāradā unceasingly, my own mother.
