Word breakdown
- चण्डीवक्त्रार्पणेच्छोस्तदनु भगवतः पाण्डुरुक्पाण्डुगण्ड
- After the Lord wished to offer Chandi's face, the pale-cheeked one of pale cheeks,
- प्रोद्यत्कण्डूं विनेतुं वितनुत इव ये रत्नकोणैर्विघृष्टिम्
- to remove the rising itch, as if producing friction with gem-points,
- चण्डार्चिर्मण्डलाभे सततनतजनध्वान्तखण्डातिशौण्डे
- resembling the fierce fire-mandala, exceedingly bold in shattering the darkness of ever-bowing people,
- चाण्डीशे ते श्रिये स्तामधिकमवनताखण्डले कुण्डले वः
- may those earrings of Chandisha be yours in splendor, in the bowing segment of the ear-lobe.
The earrings that flash like the fire of the Goddess's offering cheek are ornaments of the Lord who accepts even fierce sacrifice. Sound that shatters spiritual darkness is the vibration of Om resounding in the ear of the heart.
