dhunotu dhvaantam nastulita daliteyndeevara vanam

yadeeyam saurabhyam sahajamupalbdham sumanaso

vasantyasmin manyey vala madana vaatee vitapinaam

 

Removing Darkness (in our minds,and) Comparable (to) Petalled Blue Lotus

Forest

Thick Tender(and) Beautiful Hairs (in abundant) Multitudes Yours (oh! )

Siva's Consort !

This (unique sweet) Scent Natural, To Obtain Desirous(with wish to obtain this

smell)

Present Here (in you hair) It Seems (are) Garlands (of flowers from) Exotic

Courtyard Gardens (of the gods)

 

This verse again gives the recurring theme. Though a poet may try to describe

the Devi's beauty to us he cannot find comparisons. Her beauty transcends the

most sublime and superior comparisons we are aware of in earth or heavens.

Comparison exalts these examples which are used for comparison. Say Parijata

flower has a fragrance which is unsurpassed. Krishna waged a war against gods to

bring the tree to the garden of his beloved wife Satyabhama. But the fragrance

of these heavenly flowers is nothing compared to the natural fragrance of Devi's

hair. Flowers like Parijata and others from gardens of heaven are present in her

hair so that these flowers can acquire the fragrance of her hair and become

exalted and glorified.

 

The luster of her hair is for driving out the darkness of ignorance from

minds of devotees fortunate enough to be able to contemplate on her divine form.

Her hair is like a forest of blue lotuses; abundant, lustrous, thick , tender

beautiful and with multitudes of flowing locks. Flowers always adorn her hair

as they should that of married women. The flowers add fragrance to the hair of

ordinary women. But these garlands of flowers are present in Devi's hair because

they wish to acquire the natural fragrance of her hair. This comparison is

similar to that of most beautiful heavenly damsels wishing for oneness with Siva

to see her beauty(verse 12). These flowers are from the gardens of gods and are

exalted since they adorn her hair.

 

Yantra is a square with all 4 edges extended at both ends and ending in

tridents. Bijaksharam Shreem is in the centre of square.

 

Expected result of upasana is Fame, Victory and Good Health. Some say this can

also be used as Mantra to attract and captivate.
