1. O Mother, I meditate upon Thy lion-throne, fashioned of the wish-gem Chintamani — set within a glorious palace in a hall raised on a thousand jewelled pillars, upon the Island of Gems (Manidvipa) that gleams amid the surging waves of the ocean of nectar, encircled by groves of Kalpaka and Kadamba trees.

2. I meditate upon Thee, seated in the heart of the Sri Chakra that shines with the orbs of moon, fire and sun — radiant as the rising sun, bearing in Thy hands the noose, the goad, the bow and the arrow, with a serene face, clad in saffron robes, Thy crown adorned with the crescent moon, and a lovely smile.

3. The seat upon the plane of Ishana that yields Shiva as its sole fruit, this auspicious jewelled throne, the water for Thy feet rich with saffron and sandal, the arghya with gems and unbroken rice, and the pure water for sipping — all this, O Ocean of compassionate nectar, I have prepared with devotion: may it be for Thy satisfaction.

Be pleased to accept the brilliant rows of necklaces — O Thou whose gait shames even the swans — and the golden armlets and bangles set with swinging diamonds, the anklets, the jewelled earrings, the crown with its crescent-moon crest-jewel, the nose-pearl, the rings and the bracelets, and the girdle (kanchi) too.

9. O Mother, with those limbs glowing with formless beauty by which Thou delightest the Slayer of Madana (Shiva), and with those tresses dark as a swarm of bees by which Thou bindest His heart — those Thy most tender pleasure-bowers of fragrance — for their delight I offer the incense of ten-ingredient guggulu and ghee.

12. O Uma, before Thee is set, for Thy delight, a jewelled casket full of betel — with fragrant, lustrous betel-leaves like fine ketaki petals, with areca-nuts of many virtues, sweet and aromatic, bright with pieces of camphor and adorned with pearl-powder — the many delights that perfume the lotus-mouth.

Verse 13

कन्याभिः कमनीयकान्तिभिरलङ्कारामलारार्तिकां पात्रे मौक्तिकचित्रपङ्क्तिविलसत्कर्पूरदीपावलिः । उत्तत्तालमृदङ्गगीतसहितं नृत्यत्पदाम्भोरुहं मन्त्राराधनपूर्वकं सुविहितं नीराजनं गृह्यताम् ॥१३॥

13. May the waving of lights (arati) be accepted — well performed with mantra-worship — offered by maidens of lovely radiance bearing the spotless lamp-tray, a row of camphor lamps gleaming amid pearl-studded patterns in the vessel, accompanied by cymbals, drum and song, with their dancing lotus-feet.

Verse 14

लक्ष्मीर्मौक्तिकलक्षकल्पितसितच्छत्रं तु धत्ते रसा- दिन्द्राणी च रतिश्च चामरवरे धत्ते स्वयं भारती । वीणामेणविलोचनाः सुमनसां नृत्यन्ति तद्रागव- द्भावैराङ्गिकसात्त्विकैः स्फुटरसं मातस्तदाकर्ण्यताम् ॥१४॥

14. Lakshmi lovingly holds aloft the white parasol fashioned of a hundred thousand pearls; Indrani and Rati wave the choice fly-whisks; Bharati (Saraswati) herself plays the veena; and the doe-eyed celestial maidens dance, expressing pure emotion with gesture and feeling in keeping with the melody — O Mother, deign to listen.

Verse 15

ह्रीङ्कारत्रयसम्पुटेन मनुनोपास्ये त्रयीमौलिभि- र्वाक्यैर्लक्ष्यतनो तव स्तुतिविधौ को वा क्षमेताम्बिके । सल्लापाः स्तुतयः प्रदक्षिणशतं सञ्चार एवास्तु ते संवेशो नमसः सहस्रमखिलं त्वत्प्रीतये कल्पताम् ॥१५॥

15. O Mother, I worship Thee with the mantra enclosed in the triple Hrīṃ-kāra; O Thou whose form the Vedantic words reveal — who is fit to praise Thee, O Ambika? Let my conversations be Thy hymns of praise, my every movement a hundred circumambulations, my lying down a thousand prostrations: may all of it be for Thy delight.

Verse 16

श्रीमन्त्राक्षरमालया गिरिसुतां यः पूजयेच्चेतसा सन्ध्यासु प्रतिवासरं सुनियतस्तस्यामलं स्यान्मनः । चित्ताम्भोरुहमण्डपे गिरिसुता नृत्तं विधत्ते रसा- द्वाणी वक्त्रसरोरुहे जलधिजा गेहे जगन्मङ्गला ॥१६॥

16. Whoever, well-restrained, worships the Mountain-Daughter with this garland of sacred mantra-letters in his heart at the twilights every day — his mind becomes pure: the Daughter of the Mountain lovingly dances in the lotus-pavilion of his heart, Saraswati dwells on the lotus of his mouth, and Lakshmi, the bliss of the worlds, abides in his home.

Verse 17

इति गिरिवरपुत्रीपादराजीवभूषा भुवनमखिलमेतत्पातु मातृ प्रसन्ना । शिवपदमकरन्दस्यन्दिनीयं निबद्धा मदयतु कविभृङ्गान्मातृकापुष्पमाला ॥१७॥

17. Thus this flower-garland of the mantra-letters (Matrika Pushpamala), an ornament for the lotus-feet of the Daughter of the Mountain-King, distilling the honey of Shiva's feet — may the gracious Mother by it protect this whole world, and may it intoxicate with joy the bee-like poets.
