The Mother with Her four Aspects²²

The Aspects:
    Mother, we pray, we too may go with Thee.
    For by Thy service we last through Eternity.

Maheshwari:
    Mother, make me Thy highest Height.
    Give me Thy Knowledge to end the Night.
    In Thy gold Fount of tranquillity
    I shall wash the mortal's misery.

Mahakali:
    I call to Thy quick Power supreme!
    O crush the pride of ignorance-dream.
    My thunder feet shall break the head
    Of the Asura, by me shall be led
    The warrior-children of the truth.
    Mother, for them my boundless ruth.

Mahalakshmi:
    Mother, Thy Rapture-Fire I crave.
    I shall throw all filth to a bottomless grave.
    Thy Harmony shall be my gift
    To earth; and I her form shall lift
    To Thy all-embracing Joy and Love
    And all shall breathe Thy Spirit above.

Mahasaraswati:
    Perfect perfection on me bestow.
    Thy patience-seed.
Mother, I shall sow
    Within the heart of aspiring earth.
    In me Thy Work's undying birth.
