Word breakdown
- लीलालब्धस्थापितलुप्ताखिललोकां
- Who by sport obtains, establishes, and dissolves all worlds.
- लोकातीतैर्योगिभिरन्तश्चिरमृग्याम् ।
- Whom yogis beyond the worlds seek long within.
- बालादित्यश्रेणिसमानद्युतिपुञ्जां
- A mass of splendour equal to a row of young suns.
- गौरीमम्बामम्बुरुहाक्षीमहमीडे ॥१॥
- I praise Mother Gauri, the lotus-eyed one.
Creation and dissolution are her playful sport, yet she is the inner secret yogis seek beyond all worlds. In Advaita, Shakti and Brahman are not two: the luminous power that projects the universe is the same Self known in the heart.
