This song, known as Ranjani
Mala, describes Devi as Ranjani,

O
Mother! You are the delightful one ("ranjani"). You have eyes
("lochani") like the tender ("mrudu") lotus petals
("pankaja").
You
speak ("bhaashini") beautifully ("Manju"). You satisfy the
desires of devotees ("manollasini"). You take away the ego of the
mind (??: "manda agamani")). You are Sri Ranjani.
You
delight ("vinodini") in the musical chanting ("gaana") of
the Sama Veda.
Your
face ("vadani") is like the moon ("sashaanka"). You gave birth
("janani") to cupid ("Maara"). You are Megha Ranjani, the goddess of the
clouds.
You
take care ("paalini") of the afflicted ("paamara") ones
("jana"). You are Shoolini,
one with the Trident. You get rid ("vimochani") of our sins
("paapa"). You are the pure one ("paavani"). You are the
delight ("ranjani") of all people ("jana"), Jana Ranjani!
Pallavi
