या देवी सर्वभूतेषु लज्जारूपेण संस्थिता।

To the Goddess who, in all beings, dwells as conscience, the sense of shame that stops wrongdoing—salutations to her, salutations to her, salutations to her, again and again.
What it means
Lajja is the inner sense that stops us from doing wrong. That quiet voice of conscience is honoured here as the Goddess, so it is worth listening to.हिंदी में अर्थ
जो देवी सब प्राणियों में लज्जा (मर्यादा की भावना) के रूप में स्थित हैं, उन्हें नमस्कार, उन्हें नमस्कार, उन्हें बार-बार नमस्कार।
लज्जा वह भीतरी भाव है जो हमें गलत करने से रोकता है। विवेक की उस धीमी आवाज़ को यहाँ देवी माना गया है—उसे ज़रूर सुनिए।
Spoken by The Gods.
