I praise the dissolution fire who continuously presides over fire in your svādhiṣṭhāna center, and that great covenant, O Mother - that when his gaze burns worlds while blazing with mighty anger, your compassionate-moist glance provides cooling remedy. This verse shows how the Goddess's compassion provides the balancing principle to Śiva's fierce transformative power.
