| I adore Thee, O Mother Utkala! How loving are thy smile and voice! O Mother! Mother! Mother! Bath’d art Thou by the sacred Sea, Thy shores adorned with trees tall and green, Balmy breeze blowing by beauteous streams, O Mother! Mother! Mother! Thy body bedeck’d with dense woodlands, Arrayed with verdant hills plaited like waves, Thy sky ringing with choirs of singing birds, O Mother! Mother! Mother! How charming are Thy rich fields of paddy! Thou art Eye to Erudition enow, Sacred Abode to saints and seers, O Mother! Mother! Mother! Thy land bejewelled with splendid temples, Richly dress’d art Thou in varied arts, Thy limbs studded with sacred sites, O Mother! Mother! Mother! Thou Home to the valiant heroes of Utkala, Thy frame crimsoned with enemies’ blood, Prime Darling of the whole universe, O Mother! Mother! Mother! Greeted by Thy great sons, the crowning bards, Thy untarnished glory proclaimed all around, Blessed art Thou, the Holy, the Unfalling Abode! O Mother! Mother! Mother! |
