mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś-cāham udbhavaśca bhaviṣyatām |
kīrtiḥ śrīr-vāk ca nārīṇāṃ smṛtir-medhā dhṛtiḥ kṣamā || 34 ||

34. I am Death among plunderers. I am the origin of all that shall be born. In women I am fame,
prosperity, eloquence, memory, intelligence, endurance and forgiveness.

Commentary

I am also Death or Mrtyu [a servant of Yama] who snatches away the life of all beings. Of those beings that shall be born I am that activity called birthing. In women [ie among goddesses who are the Shaktis of the Lord] I am prosperity (Śrī); fame (Kīrti); eloquence (Vāk); memory (Smṛti); intelligence (Medhā); endurance (Dhṛti) and forgiveness (Kṣamā).
