- भजन्ते वर्णास्ते तव जननि नामावयवताम् ॥३२॥
- worshipped as the letters of Your name and body, O Mother
The letters of the heart-cave spell the names of gods and elements as the Goddess's own body. All manifestations are letters of the one name; the cosmos is the Devī in articulate form, and She is pure awareness.
