Of virtuous fame, attainable through merit, whose praise and hearing bring merit, she is worshipped by Pulomaja, liberator from bondage, with beautiful locks of hair. As the liberator, her curly hair frames the embodiment of discernment and knowledge; she is the originator of the world, beginning with space, remover of all diseases and preventer of all death. Foremost among all, of inconceivable form, she destroys the sins of the Kali age, is the daughter of Katyayana, slayer of Time, worshipped by the lotus-eyed. Her mouth is filled with betel, radiant like the blossom of the pomegranate; doe-eyed, enchanting, eminent, consort of Shiva, appearing as a friend. Eternally content, she is the treasure-house of devotees, the controller and sovereign of all, attainable through virtues like friendliness, and she is the witness of the great dissolution. She is the supreme power, the highest goal, whose form is dense consciousness, languid with the sweetness of divine nectar, intoxicated, and whose form is the letters of the mother-syllables. She dwells upon the great Kailāsa, her arms tender as lotus stalks, venerable and compassionate, possessing supreme sovereignty. She is the knowledge of the Self, the highest and most auspicious wisdom, adored by Kāma, the knowledge of the sixteen auspicious syllables, the threefold group, and the source of infinite desire. Attended by millions of lotuses serving as her handmaidens through her sidelong glance, she dwells upon the head, radiant like the moon, her brow shining with the brilliance of a rainbow. Residing in the heart, shining like the sun, she is the lamp within the sacred triangle; daughter of Daksha, destroyer of demons, and the one who ended Daksha’s sacrifice. Thus does she abide—Supreme Mother, source and sustainer of all, the radiant heart of the universe.
