ॐ खड्गं चक्रगदेषुचापपरिघाञ्छूलं भुशुण्डीं शिरः

शङ्खं सन्दधतीं करैस्त्रिनयनां सर्वाङ्गभूषावृताम् ।

नीलाश्मद्युतिमास्यपाददशकां सेवे महाकालिकां

यामस्तौत्स्वपिते हरौ कमलजो हन्तुं मधुं कौटभम् ॥

Om khaḍgaṃ cakragadeṣucāpaparighāñchūlaṃ bhuśuṇḍīṃ śiraḥ

śaṅkhaṃ sandadhatīṃ karaistrinayanāṃ sarvāṅgabhūṣāvṛtām ।

nīlāśmadyutimāsyapādadaśakāṃ seve mahākālikāṃ

yāmastautsvapite harau kamalajo hantuṃ madhuṃ kauṭabham ॥

Om, holding a scimitar, disk, mace, arrows and bow, lance, club, a skull and a conch shell in Her ten hands. The three-eyed goddess, Her body covered with ornaments, Her countenance with the brilliance of blue diamonds, with ten limbs. I offer my service to Mahākāli, She who Brahma praised for protection from the demons Madhu and Kaitabha, when Vishnu was in sleep.
