Word breakdown
- सुनासापुटं सुन्दरभ्रूललाटं
- Lovely nostrils, beautiful brows and forehead,
- तवैष्ठश्रियं दानदक्षं कटाक्षम्
- your sidelong glance rich in generous giving,
- ललाटे लसद्गन्धकस्तूरिभूषं
- on the brow a shining sandal and musk mark,
- स्फुरच्छ्रीमुखाम्भोजमीडेऽहमम्ब
- I praise your glorious lotus face, O Mother.
The generous sidelong glance is the grace that awakens devotion in the heart. Every feature praised here teaches the mind to see the divine not above but in the very field of beauty before it.
