Smarantakam Purantakam Bhavantakam Makhantakam स्मरान्तकं पुरान्तकं भवान्तकं मखान्तकं
Gajantakandhakantakam Tam Antakantakam Bhaje गजान्तकान्धकान्तकं तमन्तकान्तकं भजे ॥
Meaning
He is the bee who revels in the sweet, flowing nectar of the boundless cluster of graces of Parvati, the all-auspicious. I worship him who ended Kama, Tripura, worldly bondage and Daksha's sacrifice, who ended Gajasura and Andhaka, and who is the ender of Death itself.
