The Supreme Lord Shiva who is the
provider of auspiciousness, with his female force Goddess Sri Shakthi/Parvati
becomes competent to control the functions of this Universe; otherwise the
supreme Lord Shiva remains obstinate.
Thus, Goddess Sri Shakthi who is venerated by Lord Vishnu, Lord Rudra
and Lord Brahma, whoever does not have the fortune to worship or eulogize the
glories of Goddess Sri Shakthi would remain unskillful.
Oh! Goddess Sri Shakthi, Lord
Bhama meticulously creates the Universe and its creatures, with the precious
dust particle from your golden lotus feet.
Lord Vishnu on Adishesha, scrupulously holds this Universe on his
thousand hoods and preserves it.

Universe and smears the sacred ashes all over his body.

eradicates the darkness of ignorance in unintelligent and shines like the place
where Aditya resides. It work like the
nectar of wisdom from the alluring flowers in unwise, it act like the cluster
of precious Gems/Chinthamani in the life of underprivileged, it act like the
fierce teeth of Lord Varaha for those who are immersed in the material life.

Lord Himavan), You are adorned with the bow made of flowers and its string made
out of honey bees, five fresh alluring flowers as arrows, your warrior is
spring and the chariot is Lord Vayu.

nectar like sweet voice and enchanting waist, little curve on your body due the
heaviness of raised bosom, attractive face has the resemblance of Lord
Chandra, holding bow, arrow, noose and goad in hands and the pride of Lord Tripurari, who burnt the three cities of Tripura I earnestly pray to appear before us.
