- who worship You, the dawn-red Goddess
- विरिञ्चिप्रेयस्यास्तरुणतरशृङ्गारलहरी-
- of Brahma's beloved, the fresh waves of sacred love
- गभीराभिर्वाग्भिर्विदधति सतां रञ्जनममी ॥१६॥
- with profound words they bring delight to good people
Those who worship the dawn-red Goddess become themselves sources of inspired expression. Authentic realization naturally flowers into words that delight the wise, for speech and silence both arise from the same awareness.
