Meaning (approximate!)
This song, known as Ranjani Mala, describes Devi as Ranjani, Sriranjani, Megharanjani and Janaranjani.
O Mother! You are the delightful one ("ranjani"). You have eyes ("lochani") like the tender ("mrudu") lotus
petals ("pankaja").
You speak ("bhaashini") beautifully ("Manju"). You satisfy the desires of devotees ("manollasini"). You
take away the ego of the mind (??: "manda agamani")). You are Sri Ranjani.
You delight ("vinodini") in the musical chanting ("gaana") of the Sama Veda.
Your face ("vadani") is like the moon ("sashaanka"). You gave birth ("janani") to cupid ("Maara"). You
are Megha Ranjani, the goddess of the clouds.
You take care ("paalini") of the afflicted ("paamara") ones ("jana"). You are Shoolini, one with the
Trident. You get rid ("vimochani") of our sins ("paapa"). You are the pure one ("paavani"). You are the
delight ("ranjani") of all people ("jana"), Jana Ranjani!
