(from Kalidasa's Shyamala-dhandagam)

 

Meaning of the above sloka:

"You are all the holy waters; You are all the 'Mantras'; You are all

the Ingenuity; You are all the 'Yantras'; You are all the abodes of

Gods; You are all the principles; You are all the energy; You are all

the wisdom; You are all the decibles; You are all the sounds; You are

all the world; You are all the preceptors; You are all the

Rhythms; 'Jagan mata' the mother of the universe - bless me; Bless me

mother I bow to thee; I pray to thee; I prostrate before thy holy

feet."
