Word breakdown

गुणगणकथाम्रेडन
reciting stories of qualities
जपापुष्पछाया
color of japa flower
स्फटिकदृषत्
crystal-clear
माणिक्यवपुषा
with ruby body

Victorious is your tongue, O Mother, colored like the japa flower, ceaselessly engaged in muttering praise of your husband's qualities. When Saraswati's crystal-clear form sits at its tip, she transforms into ruby-bodied form, showing how the Goddess's constant praise of Shiva beautifies even the goddess of speech herself.
