Shloka 5

तुष्टो ददासि राज्यं त्वं रुष्टो हरसि तत्क्षणात्।
देवासुरमनुष्याश्च त्वया पीडिता भृशम्॥
भयभीताः स्तुवन्ति त्वां स्तौमि त्वाहं च भक्तितः॥

tuṣṭo dadāsi rājyaṁ tvaṁ ruṣṭo harasi tatkṣaṇāt।
devāsuramanuṣyāśca tvayā pīḍitā bhṛśam॥
bhayabhītāḥ stuvanti tvāṁ staumi tvāhaṁ ca bhaktitaḥ॥

When pleased you give kingdoms; when angry you snatch them in an instant. Gods, demons and humans all fear you. Not from fear but from devotion I praise you.
