“ Oh! Devi, Oh!

I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Durga, kindly eradicate childlessness and death of fetus in mother’s womb, kindly protect the fetus while in the mother’s womb, and kindly remove all the evil effects from in and out of the family due to the performance or non performance of certain acts, let all my body parts remains protected, kindly protect the pregnant women and growth of her fetus, let all kinds of evil effects remain void, whoever/  childless woman faithfully listens or reads these sacred verse for seven weeks and follow austerities would be blessed with virtuous offspring, it removes the unknown fears during the pregnancy period and it protects the fetus from malfunction,  whoever reads or listen to these glorious verses at the hours of dusk would protect the pregnant woman and  relieve from all the evil effects.  Whoever/pregnant woman reads or listen to the above verses with utmost devotion during the period of pregnancy and wears the sacred around the waist would be blessed with a virtuous offspring with the glories superior to Lord Indra.  The above sacred verses are highly confidential introduced by the preceptor, whoever reads or listen to the above verses faithfully would be protected from the mishap in the family.”
