[Guest guest]

This is the final verse of this stotra.

 

tvadruupadeshikavaraiH satataM vibhaavyaM

chidruupamaadi nidhanaantara hiinamamba |

bhadraavahaM praNamataaM sakalaagha hantR^i

tvadruupameva mama hR^itkamale vibhaatu || 8||

 

In a split form:

 

tvat.h ruupa deshikavaraiH satataM vibhaavyaM

chit.h ruupaM aadi nidhana antara hiinaM amba |

bhadraaH ahaM praNamataaM sakalaagha hantR^i

tvat.h ruupaM eva mama hR^it.h kamale vibhaatu || 8||

 

O Mother, the one who is always meditated upon by AchArya-s

(guru-s) who are thy form as their own self, who is the form of

pure consciousness, who is not afflicted by defects like

beginning, middle and end, and who bestows all good things to

those who worship and destroys their sins; may thy form shine in

the lotus of my heart (and may I meditate on it).

 

-ambaaL is called gurumUrtiH, gurumaNDala rUpiNii,

daxiNamUrtirUpiNii in sahasranAma, kaLidAsa also adores HER as

deshikarUpeNa darshitaabhyudayaam. ambaaL comes in the form of

one's guru. And achaaryA-s always meditate on ambaaL as their own

Self. To see a difference between guru and God arises out

ignorance (says sai sat charita). By the term tvat rUpa

deshikavaraiH, we are taught to adore our guru-s as we do to

God. God is not visible (to ordinary) and difficult to meditate

upon, but guru is visible and easy to meditate upon. Here the

poet says that it is you who has come as my AchArya.
