English Translation
The Lord of all souls, Pasupathi, Did create the sixty four thanthras, Each leading to only one desired power, And started he his relaxation. But you goaded him mother, To create in this mortal world. Your thanthra called Sri vidya. Which grants the devotee, All powers that give powers, Over all the states in life.

English Translation
Oh, mother who is ever present, Those who realize the essence , Of the limitless pleasure of the soul you give, And who add the seed letter "Iim" of the god of love, The seed letter "Hrim" of the goddess Bhuavaneswaree, And the seed letter "Srim" of the goddess Lakhmi, Which are the three letter triad, Wear the garland of the gem of thoughts, And offer oblations to the fire in triangle of Shiva, With the pure scented ghee of the holy cow, Kamadhenu, Several times and worship you. 33

English Translation
Oh goddess supreme, I always see in my minds eye, That your body with sun and moon, As busts is the body of Shiva, And his peerless body with nine surrounding motes, Is your body, my goddess. And so the relation of," that which has", And" he who has", Becomes the one perfect relation of happiness, And becomes equal in each of you. 34

English Translation
And you are the universe, mother, There is nothing except you in the world, But to make believe your form as the universe, You take the role of wife of Shiva, And appear before us in the form of ethereal happiness.

English Translation
The one who worships Parameshwara, Who has the luster of billions of moon and sun And who lives in thine Agna chakra- the holy wheel of order, And is surrounded by thine two forms, On both sides, Would forever live, In that world where rays of sun and moon do not enter, But which has its own luster, And which is beyond the sight of the eye, But is different from the world we see. 36

English Translation
I bow before the Shiva , Who is of the pure crystal form, In thine supremely pure wheel And who creates the principle of ether, And to you my mother, Who has same stream of thought as Him. I bow before you both, Whose moon like light, Forever removes the darkness of ignorance, Forever from the mind, And which shines like the Chakora* bird , Playing in the full moon light. 37

English Translation
I pray before the swan couple, Who only enjoy the honey , From the fully open, Lotus flowers of knowledge, And who swim in the lake , Which is the mind of great ones, And also who can never be described. From them come the eighteen arts, And they differentiate the good from the bad, Like the milk from water. 38

English Translation
Mother ,think and worship I ,of the fire, In your holy wheel of Swadishtana, And the Rudra who shines in that fire, Like the destroying fire of deluge, And you who shine there as Samaya. When that angry fire of look of Rudhra, Burns the world , Then your look drenches it in mercy, Which treats and cools it down. 39

English Translation
I bow before that principle, Which is in your wheel of Manipooraka, Which as Parashakthi shines like the enemy of darkness, Which is with the streak of lightning, Which is with the shining jewels of precious stones of lightning, Which is also black as night, Which is burnt by Rudhra like the sun of the deluge, And which cools down the three worlds like a strange cloud. 40

English Translation
I pray in your holy wheel of Mooladhara, You who likes to dance, And calls yourself as Samaya, And that Lord who performs the great vigorous dance, Which has all the shades of nine emotions. This world has you both as parents, Because you in your mercy, wed one another, To recreate the world, As the world was destroyed in the grand deluge. 41

English Translation
O Daughter of the Snow-Mountain! He who hymns your golden crown — dense-set with sky-gems (rubies) — how
does his mind not also fasten upon that crescent moon nesting in it, dappled by the flickering of the
crown's own radiance, [looking like] Indra's rainbow-bow?
धुनोतु ध्वान्तं नस्तुलितदलितेन्दीवरवनं

यदीयं सौरभ्यं सहजमुपलब्धुं सुमनसो

English Translation
O Auspicious One! May your mass of hair — thick, lustrous, smooth, surpassing in beauty entire forests
of blue lotuses — dispel our darkness. For I believe it is in order to experience its natural fragrance
that the flowers of the trees of Indra's grove dwell within it.
तनोतु क्षेमं नस्तव वदनसौन्दर्यलहरी-
परीवाहस्रोतःसरणिरिव सीमन्तसरणिः ।
वहन्ती सिन्दूरं प्रबलकबरीभारतिमिर-

English Translation
May your parting-line — like a channel bearing the overflow-stream of the wave of your facial beauty —
extend well-being to us; it bears vermilion that is like the rays of the young sun, made captive by the
massed darkness of your heavy, braided hair.
अरालैः स्वाभाव्यादलिकलभसश्रीभिरलकैः

English Translation
Your face, surrounded by naturally curling locks resplendent with the beauty of young bees, laughs at
the beauty of the lotus. In that face, which is slightly smiling, made splendid by teeth-lustre as
stamens, and fragrant — the bees that drink honey from the eye of Śiva-who-burned-Love become
intoxicated.
ललाटं लावण्यद्युतिविमलमाभाति तव यद्

English Translation
Your forehead, which shines pure with the radiance of beauty — I consider it to be a second crescent
moon set in your crown. By reason of their inverted placement [relative to each other], both, coming
together mutually, transform into the full moon, stitched/joined with a plaster of nectar.
भ्रुवौ भुग्ने किंचिद्भुवनभयभङ्गव्यसनिनि

English Translation
O Umā, who delights in shattering the fears of the worlds! I consider your two slightly-arched eyebrows,
whose bowstring is held by your two bee-lustrous eyes, to be Kāma's bow held in his right hand — which
conceals its hidden middle-gap in his wrist and fist.
अहःसूते सव्यं तव नयनमर्कात्मकतया

तृतीया ते दृष्टिर्दरदलितहेमाम्बुजरुचिः
समाधत्ते संध्यां दिवसनिशयोरन्तरचरीम् ॥ ४८॥
English Translation
Your right eye, by virtue of its solar nature, produces the day. Your left eye, as lord of the night,
creates the night of three watches. Your third eye — with the lustre of a slightly-opened golden lotus —
establishes the twilight that moves between day and night.
विशाला कल्याणी स्फुटरुचिरयोध्याकुवलयैः

English Translation
Your gaze — wide (Viśālā), auspicious (Kalyāṇī), manifestly beautiful with the blue lotuses of Ayodhyā,
a stream of compassion (Kṛpādhārā), a support (Ādhārā), indescribably sweet (Mathurā / madhurā), a place
of pleasure (Bhogavatī), and a protector (Avantī) — victorious over the expanse of many cities, most
certainly prevails, worthy of being addressed by each of those very names.
कवीनां सन्दर्भस्तबकमकरन्दैकरसिकं

English Translation
Your pair of ears — relishing only the nectar of the clusters of poets' compositions — are [like] two
young bees in the form of your darting sideward glances. Seeing those [bees/ears], eager from tasting
the nine rasas, not letting go, your eye at the forehead (the bee's eye) becomes somewhat reddened from
the association of jealousy.
शिवे शृङ्गारार्द्रा तदितरजने कुत्सनपरा

हराहिभ्यो भीता सरसिरुहसौभाग्यजननी
सखीषु स्मेरा ते मयि जननि दृष्टिः सकरुणा ॥ ५१॥
English Translation
O Mother! Your gaze — tender with love toward Śiva, contemptuous toward other ordinary people, irritated
toward Gaṅgā, full of wonder at Śiva's deeds, frightened by Śiva's serpents, yet the mother of the
lotus's good fortune (giving it its beauty), smiling toward friends — may that gaze of yours rest upon
me with compassion.
गते कर्णाभ्यर्णं गरुत इव पक्ष्माणि दधती

English Translation
O bud who is the crown-ornament of the Himālaya king's lineage! These two eyes of yours — extending to
the vicinity of your ears, bearing eyelashes like wings, whose fruit is the melting away of the
tranquillity of the mind of Śiva the Triple-city-destroyer — display the sport of Kāma's arrows drawn to
the ear [i.e., a fully-drawn bow-and-arrow].
विभक्तत्रैवर्ण्यं व्यतिकरितलीलाञ्जनतया
विभाति त्वन्नेत्रत्रितयमिदमीशानदयिते ।
पुनः स्रष्टुं देवान् द्रुहिणहरिरुद्रानुपरतान्
रजः सत्त्वं बिभ्रत्तम इति गुणानां त्रयमिव ॥ ५३॥
English Translation
O beloved of Īśāna! This triple of your eyes — with three distinct colours produced by playfully applied
collyrium — shines like the triad of guṇas (rajas, sattva, tamas), bearing them so as to create anew the
gods Brahma, Viṣṇu, and Rudra who had dissolved at the end of the cosmic cycle.
पवित्रीकर्तुं नः पशुपतिपराधीनहृदये
दयामित्रैर्नेत्रैररुणधवलश्यामरुचिभिः ।
नदः शोणो गङ्गा तपनतनयेति ध्रुवममुं

English Translation
O you whose heart is entirely given to Paśupati! In order to purify us, with your compassionately gentle
eyes of red, white, and dark lustres, you certainly bring near to us the holy confluence of the three
sacred fords — the Śoṇa river, the Gaṅgā, and the daughter of the Sun (Yamunā).
निमेषोन्मेषाभ्यां प्रलयमुदयं याति जगती
तवेत्याहुः सन्तो धरणिधरराजन्यतनये ।
त्वदुन्मेषाज्जातं जगदिदमशेषं प्रलयतः
परित्रातुं शङ्के परिहृतनिमेषास्तव दृशः ॥ ५५॥
English Translation
O daughter of the mountain-king! "By your closing and opening of eyes, the universe attains dissolution
and creation" — thus do the wise declare. I suspect that your eyes, having refrained from blinking, are
[so doing] in order to protect this entire world — born from your eye-opening — from dissolution.
तवापर्णे कर्णेजपनयनपैशुन्यचकिता
निलीयन्ते तोये नियतमनिमेषाः शफरिकाः ।
इयं च श्रीर्बद्धच्छदपुटकवाटं कुवलयम्

English Translation
O Aparṇā! The unblinking little fish, alarmed by the tale-bearing of your eyes which whisper into your
ears, invariably hide themselves in the water. And this beauty [of yours], having abandoned the blue
lotus (whose petal-doors are shut) at dawn, enters it again at night by prying it open.
दृशा द्राघीयस्या दरदलितनीलोत्पलरुचा
दवीयांसं दीनं स्नपय कृपया मामपि शिवे ।
अनेनायं धन्यो भवति न च ते हानिरियता
वने वा हर्म्ये वा समकरनिपातो हिमकरः ॥ ५७॥
English Translation
O Śivā! With your very elongated gaze, lustrous as a slightly-opened blue lotus, bathe with compassion
even me — wretched and far away. By this much, this one becomes blessed. Nor is there any loss to you
thereby — the moon falls with equal rays whether in a forest or in a palace.
अरालं ते पालीयुगलमगराजन्यतनये

तिरश्चीनो यत्र श्रवणपथमुल्लङ्घ्य विलसन्
अपाङ्गव्यासङ्गो दिशति शरसंधानधिषणाम् ॥ ५८॥
English Translation
O daughter of the mountain-king! Your curved pair of eyelid-edges — for whom does it not create
eagerness about Kāma's flower-arrow and bow? Wherein the oblique glance, gleaming sideways and crossing
the path toward the ear, bestows the intelligence of arrow-nocking [the awareness of being aimed
at].
स्फुरद्गण्डाभोगप्रतिफलितताटङ्कयुगलं

English Translation
This face of yours — with the pair of earrings reflected in the glowing expanse of the cheeks — I
consider to be Manmatha's four-wheeled chariot; mounting which, the great hero Māra (Kāma) attacks Śiva,
the lord of the Pramathas — who uses the earth as his chariot and has the sun and moon as his feet — now
armed and ready.
सरस्वत्याः सूक्तीरमृतलहरीकौशलहरीः

English Translation
Oh Goddess , who is the consort of Lord Shiva, Your sweet voice which resembles, The continuous waves of nectar, Fills the ear vessels of Saraswathi, Without break, And she shakes her head hither and thither, And the sound made by her ear studs, Appear as if they applaud your words. 60
