एतावदेव जननि स्पृहणीयमास्ते त्वद्वन्दनेषु सलिलस्थगिते च नेत्रे । सान्निध्यमुद्यदरुणायुतसोदरस्य त्वद्विग्रहस्य परया सुधयाप्लुतस्य ॥२॥

Word breakdown
- एतावदेव जननि स्पृहणीयमास्ते
- This alone, O Mother, is desirable for me.
- त्वद्वन्दनेषु सलिलस्थगिते च नेत्रे ।
- In bowing to you, with eyes covered by streaming tears.
- सान्निध्यमुद्यदरुणायुतसोदरस्य
- The nearness of your form with the rising red-hued radiance of the sun.
- त्वद्विग्रहस्य परया सुधयाप्लुतस्य ॥२॥
- Of your image steeped in supreme nectar.
The devotee's highest wish is nearness to the Mother's radiant form, not worldly gain. Tears of salutation and immersion in her nectar-image turn the mind from outer objects to the bliss within.
