Obeisance to the one who dwells
In the cremation grounds
Where the pancha mahabhuta
Dissolute and dissolve
Smashana kali
Jeevan-Mruthyu devi
She is the one who liberates the soul
By removing the illusion of the ego
She is the one who evokes
The awareness that the body is temporal
There is nothing that escapes the devouring time
There is nothing that escapes its inevitable demise
Reverence for the deity
Who creates and consumes all
She is the one who gives birth to life
Yet she is death herself
Smashana kali
Jeevan-Mruthyu devi
She is the one who liberates the soul
By removing the illusion of the ego
She is the one who evokes
The awareness that the body is temporal
There is nothing that escapes the devouring time
There is nothing that escapes its inevitable demise
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
Om Kreem Kalikaye namah
