O Goddess with a stately carriage! Thy household swans, frolicking as

if prone to practise the balancing of their steps, do not leave off

Thy lotus-like foot, which imparts instructions in its own art [of

balancing steps] as it were, by the tinkling of the beutiful anklet

[filled] with gems

 

 

The Devi's beautiful gait is represented by the poet as imparting

instruction to her household swans, who themselves have a graceful

gait
