भूमे ! त्वं भूमा यो भूमा वै तत् सुखम् ।
भूयिष्ठा, अचला, प्रचला, जननी, जन्मभूमि ॥
त्वं ज्येष्ठा, मेदिनी, संमोदिनी, प्रमोदिनी ।
त्वं लीला, च कृति, संस्कृति च संप्रवृत्ति ॥
त्वत्तःऽवतीर्णौ श्रीरामकृष्णौ, श्री रमारमणो ।
त्वं प्रकटिता भूमिजा, जनकसुता, शिवसुता ॥
समुद्रवसने देवि पर्वतस्तनमण्डले ।
विष्णुपत्नि ! नमस्तुभ्यं पादस्पर्श-क्षमस्व मे !!

Oh ! Mother Earth !!
You are 'Perfect' (Purnam).
That which is 'Perfect' is verily Happiness.
You are Magnificent, Immovable, Moving,
Origin, Motherland.
You are Superior, Potential, Loving, 
Rejoicing,
You are the Play, 
The Creativity, Culture, Evolution.
Shri Vishnu incarnated through you, 
-As  Shree Rama and Shri Krishna.
You Yourself came to us,
-In the form of Sri Sita 
(Consort of Shri Rama), 
-As the daughter of King Janaka,
You are here,
-In the form of the River Narmada,
The daughter of Lord Shiva !
Oh Lakshmi ! Oh Goddes Supreme !
Mountains are your bosom,
The Oceans are the robes you are clad in.
Oh Divine Mother Lakshmi ! 
I prostrate at your Lotus-feet.
O Mother please forgive me, 
For touching you with my feet,...!
