Stotra

vishvam jighatsumiva sammukhamaapatantam
tvannaamakiirtanajalam shamayatyashesham [40]

Pronounciation
kalpAntakAlapavanoddhatavahnikalpaM
dAvAnalaM jvalitamujjvalamutsphulingam
vizvaM jighatsumiva sammukhamApatantaM
tvannAmakIrtanajalaM zamayatyazeSaM [40]

Meaning
Even the fiercest conflagration, Reminding one of apocalyptic fires,
With flames reaching the skies, Apparently looking to set ablaze the entire world,
And about to engulf oneself Holds no fear for your devotee
For the very recitation of your name Shall quell the fire completely.

English translation by Manish Modi
