1) Namo Devyai Maha Devyai,
Surabyai Cha Namo Nama
Gavam Bheeja Swaroopaya,
Namasthe Jagad Ambike

Salutations to the mother of the world,
Who lives as a seed in all cows,
Salutations to that goddess,
Who is a great goddess,
And who is the wish yielding cow

2) Namo Radha Priyayai Cha
Padmamsaya Namo Nama,
Nama Krishna Priyayai Cha
Gavam Mathre Namo Nama

Salutations to the pet of Radha,
Salutations to the essence of lotus,
Salutations to the daring of Krishna,
Salutations to the mother of all cows

3) Kalpa Vruksha Swaroopayai ,
Sarvesham Sathatham Pare,
Ksheeradayai, Dhanadayai,
Budhidayai Namo Nama

Salutations to her who gives milk,
Riches and intelligence,
Who is the form of wish giving tree,
And Who is greater than everything.

4) Shubhayai Subhadarayai
Gopradhayai Namo Nama
Yasodhayai Kerthidhayai,
Dharmadhayai Namo Nama

Salutations to her who gives good,
Who takes care of us,
And who gives us cows.
Salutations to her who blesses us with Dharma,
And Who gives us fame and victory

5) Stotra Shravana Mathrena,
Dushta, Hrushta Jagatprasu,
Mahendraya Varam Dhatwa,
Go Lokam Saa Yayaou Puna

As soon as she who destroys bad ones,
Heard this prayer of the king of devas,
She gave him all boons,
And went to the abode of cows
