Sanskrit Original
दानवानां विनाशाय स्थापिता दिव्यरूपिणी। यो मां भक्त्या लिखेत् कुड्ये सपुत्रां यौवनान्विताम्॥३। गृहे तस्य भवेद् वृद्धिरन्यथा क्षयमाप्नुयात्। त्वद्गृहे तिष्ठमानाहं पूजिताहं सदा विभो॥ लिखिता चैव कुड्येषु पुत्रैर्बहुभिरावृता। गन्धपुष्पैस्तथा धूपैर्भक्ष्यभोज्यैः सुपूजिता॥
I was endued with celestials beauty and I was placed (in the world) for the destruction of the Danavas. He, who with devotion paints on the walls (of his house) and likeness of myself who am young and who have children, must have prosperity in his house. He, who does not do it, must meet with decay and destruction. O lord, a likeness of myself surrounded by many children, is painted on the walls of your house. Placed their, I am daily worshipped with scents, flowers, incense, edibles and various objects of enjoyments.
