Word breakdown

नमोवाकमाशास्महे देवि युष्म
We seek with words of salutation, O Goddess,
त्पदाम्भोजयुग्माय तिग्माय गौरि ।
your pair of lotus feet, sharp and bright, O Gauri,
विरिञ्च्यादिभास्वत्किरीटप्रतोली
shining with blazing light from the rampart-line
प्रदीपायमानप्रभाभास्वराय
of gleaming crowns of Brahma and the gods bowed before them.

The gods' crowns lit at her feet show that even Brahma bows to the ground of all worship. Salutation to Gauri's feet is the ego's surrender to the light in which all deities arise.
