At the break of dawn, I remember the lotus face of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari
The lips are (red) like bimba fruits and the nose is adorned with large pearls
The large eyes are stretching upto the ears, and the ears are richly decorated with gem-studded earrings,
The face is lit with a gentle smile and the forehead is shining with the musk of the deer (Kasturi)
