Through the grace of Mahāmāyā (mahā-māyā-prasādena | ins sg), may (astu | 3p sg act imp) all beings (sarveṣām | gen pl) have that bliss (tat sukham | nom sg). All this (etat sarvam | nom sg n) depends upon her (tayā yuktam | nom sg n ppp); therefore (tataḥ), one should worship (ārādhayet | 3p sg act opt caus) her (tām | acc sg f) alone (eva).
Dr. Ronald Steiner - 2026 - historically literal
Through Mahāmāyā’s grace, may everyone receive her bliss. Since everything depends upon her, she alone is to be worshipped.
