Legend of Celestial Powers
Men failed to prevail, on stubborn obstacles,
strength and wisdom remained, the essence to flourish;
Nature created elephant, to lift the obstacles,
Goddess of Energy, made it, a deity to cherish;
Gods failed to win, in the battles against demons,
ran away from battles, in the absence of a leader;
God of Gods bestowed a general, in a heavenly sermon,
Gods were delighted, to find the spirited warrior.
Supreme Goddess, in tandem with her beloved consort,
turned as cosmic light, with mystic radiance;
veiled in mystery, and concealed divine purport,
rendered itself omnipresent, for enlightenment of conscience.
Primal energy arose, from Supreme Goddess,
protects and nourishes creation, as Mother Goddess.
