you alone offer refuge, O Goddess!

Someone as powerful as lord shiva himself, is only capable of action, when he is united
with shakti.

If he is not united with shakti, he is not even capable of even reacting to situations;

or in other words, he becomes inert! If such is your importance when it comes to

performing action,

then how O Great Goddess, can someone perform your worship or praise,

without having done any good deed! In other words, one must be really fortunate

and must have accumulated a lot of virtue, to even attempt praising or worshipping
you!

these worlds

with great effort, and Lord shiva, with utmost reverence powders these worlds

back into sacred ash and smears it all over his body.

O Goddess! These particles are like an island from which arises the Sun,

who dispels the darkness of ignorance. They are like a delicious torrent of honey

which causes brightness and invigorates the dull ones! They are like a garland of
precious jewels

for those who are struck with poverty, and for those who are drowned in the sorrows of
life and death,

they are like the tusks of Lord varAha, who saved Mother Earth from drowning in the
oceans!

than you

display abhaya:fear dispelling and varada:boon providing mudras with both their
hands.

You alone never display these varada and abhaya mudras since your feet themselves

are adept at removing the fears and fulfilling the desires of the beings of all the worlds!

many ways

to portray your beauty, and fail to find any other object to describe it through

The kind of beauty through which even the celestial damsels, out of their eagerness to
experience it,

attain to the State of Oneness with shiva, which is difficult to gain, even by severe
austerities!

their waist-bands undone in the sudden excitement, and their drapes slipping away!

O Auspicious One! The worship of all the three Gods, brahmA, viShNu and shiva,
born out of the three gunas, is considered to be performed as soon as your feet are
worshipped!

It is because all these deities are situated at the base of your abode, the maNidvIpa(shrI
chakra),

by holding their hands clasped in prayer above their heads!

 and indra, along with all his followers have their eyes shut during dissolution.

O Goddess, your husband sadAshiva alone is the one who plays!

started to sweat, rubbing against your arms, drenching the drapes that cover you,

in order to save your slender waist from giving up, he added three more folds to your
waist,

which seem like three rounds of the cardamom vine!

This is so because, at the base of your shins, one can see your feet,

immediately, manmatha, who resides in your feet, and who was once reduced to ashes
