She who sits on a gem studded throne and grants wonderful sight
Who holds rope ,
goad and sugarcane bow in her hands
She who appears with
Lakshmi and Saraswathi with
deva maidens and Indra’s wife fanning
you
She who is with Diamond
crown, red coral ear stud,
pearl nose stud,
With necklace of pure gold
decorating and shining on her
chest,
And wearing anklet
and silver chain on her leg , appearing
with joy
She who is Sister
of Mukunda holding conch , wheel and mace
She who steals the
mind of lord Shiva
She who wears garlands of Jasmine, chrysanthymum ,
madaara , pandanus
Champaka flowers
She who smells of
boquat forest, She who sis on
my heart
as temple
She who looks at me with a budding
smile
Wife of Sankara , Wife of Shambu, she who wears crescent of moon,
She who has divine form, she who has several names
like this
Oh Rajarajeswari, my mother please live in the temple of mind,
And please
provide protection to me
