Word breakdown
- प्रातर्भजामि ललिताभुजकल्पवल्लीं
- At dawn I worship Lalita's arms, wish-granting creepers.
- रत्नाङ्गुलीयलसदङ्गुलिपल्लवाढ्याम् ।
- Rich with finger-tips like tender shoots adorned with jewelled rings.
- माणिक्यहेमवलयाङ्गदशोभमानां
- Shining with ruby and gold bracelets and armlets.
- पुण्ड्रेक्षुचापकुसुमेषुसृणीं दधानाम् ॥२॥
- Bearing in her hands the pundra, sugarcane bow, flower arrows, and goad.
The arms that grant every wish symbolize Shakti, the active power through which the formless Self manifests. Worship of her hands is worship of the creative energy that shapes the world yet remains rooted in the one reality.
