तव स्वाधिष्ठाने हुतवहमधिष्ठाय निरतं तमीडे संवर्तं जननि महतीं तां च समयाम् । यदालोके लोकान्दहति महति क्रोधकलिते दयार्द्रा या दृष्टिः शिशिरमुपचारं रचयति ॥३९॥

Word breakdown
- तव स्वाधिष्ठाने हुतवहमधिष्ठाय निरतं
- I praise the great Samvarta fire established in Your svadhisthana
- तमीडे संवर्तं जननि महतीं तां च समयाम् ।
- I praise that Samvarta fire and that great Samaya Goddess, O Mother
- यदालोके लोकान्दहति महति क्रोधकलिते
- by whose angry glance the worlds burn when enraged
- दयार्द्रा या दृष्टिः शिशिरमुपचारं रचयति ॥३९॥
- and by whose compassionate glance She bestows cool comfort
The fire at the svadhisthana and the Samaya Goddess are one power of destruction and cooling grace. The same awareness that burns illusion with wrathful glance soothes the devotee with compassion; wrath and mercy are one in Shakti.
