Word breakdown
- ह्रीङ्कारत्रयसम्पुटेन मनुनोपास्ये त्रयीमौलिभि
- Worshipped by Manu with the triple Hrim, by the crest-jewels of the three Vedas,
- र्वाक्यैर्लक्ष्यतनो तव स्तुतिविधौ को वा क्षमेताम्बिके
- O Ambika, who could be equal in the rite of praising your subtle form?
- सल्लापाः स्तुतयः प्रदक्षिणशतं सञ्चार एवास्तु ते
- May conversation and hymns be yours, a hundred circumambulations, walking as service,
- संवेशो नमसः सहस्रमखिलं त्वत्प्रीतये कल्पताम्
- and a thousand prostrations; may all be for your pleasure.
When praise falls short, the devotee offers every act as worship: speech, walking, and prostration. The Mother is pleased not by eloquence but by the life consecrated to her.
