समुद्यत्सहस्रार्कबिम्बाभवक्त्रां स्वभासैव सिन्दूरिताजाण्डकोटिम् । धनुर्बाणपाशाङ्कुशान्धारयन्तीं स्मरन्तः स्मरं वापि संमोहयेयुः ॥१४॥

Word breakdown
- समुद्यत्सहस्रार्कबिम्बाभवक्त्रां
- With face like a thousand rising sun-discs,
- स्वभासैव सिन्दूरिताजाण्डकोटिम् ।
- reddening crores of egg-universes by her own splendour,
- धनुर्बाणपाशाङ्कुशान्धारयन्तीं
- holding bow, arrow, noose, and goad,
- स्मरन्तः स्मरं वापि संमोहयेयुः
- remembering her, one could bewitch even Love himself.
Her solar face outshines universes yet holds the weapons of disciplined power. To meditate on such splendour is to train the mind to see the world as radiance, not mere appearance.
