Word breakdown

नानारत्नविचित्रभूषणकरी हेमाम्बराडम्बरी
Maker of varied, wondrous jewel-ornaments, robed in golden garments.
मुक्ताहारविलम्बमानविलसत्क्षोजकुम्भान्तरी ।
Within whose resplendent bosom-vessels a pearl necklace hangs swaying.
काश्मीरागरुवासिता रुचिकरी काशीपुराधीश्वरी
Fragrant with saffron and agaru, maker of delight, mistress of Kashi.
भिक्षां देहि कृपावलम्बनकरी माताऽन्नपूर्णेश्वरी ॥२॥
Grant alms, O Mother Annapurneshvari, who is support through grace.

Her adornment and fragrance are the splendour of divine beauty, yet the prayer is for alms. Outer magnificence points to the inner fullness that alone satisfies the hunger of the heart.
