Word breakdown
- किरन्तीमङ्गेभ्यः किरणनिकुरम्बामृतरसं
- whoever places You in the heart like a moon-stone image, showering nectar-ray clusters on the limbs
- हृदि त्वामाधत्ते हिमकरशिलामूर्तिमिव यः ।
- places You in the heart, O Goddess
- स सर्पाणां दर्पं शमयति शकुन्ताधिप इव
- quells the pride of serpents like the king of birds
- ज्वरप्लुष्टान् दृष्ट्या सुखयति सुधाधारसिरया ॥२०॥
- and with a nectar-stream glance comforts those scorched by fever
Meditation on the Goddess as cool nectar-ray dispels the heat of affliction. The healing glance is the compassion of awareness itself, which soothes the fever of identification with the limited body-mind.
