Meaning: (From TK Govinda
Rao’s book)
Oh Mother (“Amba”) Neelaayatakshi,
whose eyes (“akshi”) are full of
compassion ("karuna”). You are the witness (“sakshi”) to all (“akila”) the
happenings of the world (“loka”). Please shower your
Blessings (“katakshi”) on me.
Her lips (“aadhari”) are red in
colour like the BIMBA fruit.
She is of the form of knowledge
(“chit”) and its reflection (“pratibimba”).
She is captivated (“vashankari”)
by the Naada and Bindu. She is SHANKARI...
The sister (“sodhari”) of
Mahavishnu (“Ambujaramana”). She pervades as the vast ether-space, and is fond
of the Kadamba flowers (“kadambari”) and adorned with blue (“neela”) silk
(“ambari”).
She resides (“vaasini”) in
SIVARAAJADHANI - nagapattinam- and protects those (“sritajana”) who take refuge
(“viswaasini”) in her.
She delights in sharing half the
form (“kaaya”) with Lord Shiva and shines (“rohane”) as supreme consciousness.
(“sollasini”).
She is established (“vikaasini”)
in the Sri Chakra (“chakra”) with nine Yoginis (“nava yogini”).
Her smile (“haasini”) reveals all
the nine (“nava”) Rasas (“rasa”).
Her form (“vigraha”) is
gloriously resplendent (“prakaashini”) like the gold (“Suvarnamaya”) and She
sports a beatific smile (“Haasini”).
She is the suzerain of the
universe (“bhuvaneshwari”), sports (“vinodhini”)
in creating (“udaya”), sustaining (“sthithilaya”) and dissolving the world. She
is pleased very easily (“KshipraPrasaadini”). She plays on VALLIKAVINE,
bedecked with nine (“nava”) gems (“maanikya”). She is understood well
(“vedini”) by Shiva (“bhava”) and
Guruguha and always established in happiness (“samodhini”).
