Word breakdown
- लसद्वृत्तमुत्तुङ्गमाणिक्यकुम्भो
- With rounded, lofty, flashing ruby vessels,
- पमश्री स्तनद्वन्द्वमम्बाम्बुजाक्षि
- O Mother lotus-eyed, your pair of breasts,
- भजे पूर्णदुग्धाभिरामं तवेदं
- I worship, delightful with full milk,
- महाहारदीप्तं सदा प्रस्नुतास्यम्
- this ever-flowing mouth bright with great saffron.
The nourishing breast is the Mother who feeds the world with grace. In Advaita bhakti, such imagery points to the fullness of consciousness that sustains all beings without diminution.
