Word breakdown
- कन्याभिः कमनीयकान्तिभिरलङ्कारामलारार्तिका
- With maidens of lovely radiance performing bright arati worship,
- पात्रे मौक्तिकचित्रपङ्क्तिविलसद्कर्पूरदीपावलिः
- rows of camphor lamps flashing in pearl-decked vessels,
- उतत्तत्तालमृदङ्गगीतसहितं नृत्यत्पदाम्भोरुहं
- with song to drum and cymbal, and dancing lotus feet,
- मन्त्राराधनपूर्वकं सुविहितं नीराजनं गृह्यताम्
- well-arranged waving of light after mantra-worship; accept it.
Arati with song and dance is the circling of light around the one who is already light. When preceded by mantra, the waving lamp becomes the visible sign of consciousness honouring its own source.
