Sakali tomar ichha, ichhamayi Tara tumi Tomar karma tumi koro Ma, loke bole kori ami. Panke baddha koro kori, pangure longhao giri Kare dao Ma Brahmapada, kare koro adhogami. Ami jantra tumi jantri, ami ghor tumi ghorani Ami ratha tumi rathi, jemon chalao temni choli.

This hymn is a profound expression of surrender to the Divine Mother, acknowledging that all actions and events in the universe ultimately happen according to her will. The devotee recognizes the Mother as Ichhamayi Tara — the embodiment of divine will and cosmic power. Though people believe that individuals perform actions themselves, the hymn declares that it is truly the Divine Mother who performs all actions through her creation. The song reflects on the mysterious power of the Mother: she can bind someone in the mud of worldly limitations, yet she can also enable the weak and helpless to cross great mountains. By her will, some are lifted to the highest spiritual realization, the state of Brahman, while others remain caught in the downward movement of worldly existence. In the final lines, the devotee expresses total surrender and humility. The individual self is compared to a mere instrument while the Divine Mother is the operator. The devotee is like a house while she is the mistress of the house, like a chariot while she is the charioteer. The message is that the devotee simply moves according to how the Mother guides. The hymn thus expresses deep devotion, trust, and complete reliance on the Divine Mother’s will.
