Word breakdown

- नमोऽस्तु भूत्यै भुवनप्रसूत्यै ।
- salutations to her who is prosperity, mother of worlds
- नमोऽस्तु देवादिभिरर्चितायै
- salutations to her worshipped by the gods and others
- नमोऽस्तु नन्दात्मजवल्लभायै ॥१५॥

Radiance, world-generativity, and worship by the gods gather in one litany. She who mothers the worlds is the creative aspect of consciousness itself, not a power apart from the Self.
