Translation:
1. I praise Ganapati whose body is the inhaled breath, worshipped at the beginning of a hundred systems, who delights in granting desired gifts, and who is praised by the multitude of divine and semi-divine beings.
2. I praise Vatuka called the exhaled breath who removes and carries away men's misfortune, whose feet are worshipped by the line of perfected ones, the hordes of yoginls and the best of heroes.
3. I praise Anandabhairava, made of consciousness. The goddesses of the sense faculties constantly worship him in the lotus of the heart with the pleasures of their own perceptual fields/ bodies.
4. I praise constantly him whose form is devotion, the pure sat guru. By the power of his light he illumines the universe which is the path of Shiva for the devotees.
5. I praise Anandabhairavi whose form is awareness, who continually amuses herself with the arising, maintenance, and tasting of the universe as her play.
6. I continually bow to Brahmani, whose form is intellect/higher mind, situated on the petal of the Lord of Gods, who worships Bhairava with flowers of certainty.
7. I eternally praise Mother Sambhavi, whose form is the ego, situated on the petal of fire, who performs worship to Bhairava with flowers of egoism.
8. I eternally praise Kumari whose nature is the mind, situated on the southern petal, who gives offerings to Bhairava with flowers of thought construction.
9. I bow eternally to Vaisnavi, the power whose form is sound, situated on the south-west petal, who makes offerings to Bhairava with flowers of sound.
10. I honour Varahi bearing the form of the sense of touch, situated on the western petal, she delights Bhairava with flowers of touch which captivate the heart.
11. I praise Indrani whose body is sight and whose body reclines on the lotus of the north-west, who worships Bhairava with the most beautiful and best forms/colours.
12. I honour Camunda called the sense of taste, whose abode is the support of the Lord of the World maintenance, and tasting of the universe as her play.
13. I honour always Mahalaksmi called the sense of smell, situated on the petal of the Lord, who makes offerings to Bhairava with flowers of manifold fragrances.
14. I praise constantly the Lord of the body called the self, conferring perfection, worshipped in the six systems and possessed of the thirty six tattvas.
15. I praise the wheel of deities within the body, eternally arisen, trembling, the essence of experience, the end of everything and constantly present.
