I meditate on Devi Meenakshi who is rising (in my mental vision) with the splendour of thousand million Suns, shining with bracelets and garlands (matching the splendour of the rising Suns), She is rising with a smiling face, (appearing beautiful) with lips red like bimba fruits, and having beautiful rows of teeth; She is adorned with shining yellow garments (which are matching the splendour of the rising Suns), Vishnu, Brahma and the king of Suras (i.e. Indra Deva) are serving her lotus feet; And her auspicious form is of the essence of eternal consciousness (Tattva), (Seeing that vision) I Bow down again and again to Devi Meenakshi, who is an ocean of compassion. Her face shining with the splendour of a full moon; Her crown shining with the splendour of the diadem (adorning it); and her bosom shining with the splendour of the garland of pearls (decorating it), Her lotus feet decorated with jingling anklets with bells and gems over them, are shining with the splendour of a lotus (as if blossoming with the million rising suns), (That lotus feet is the) Granter of all wishes, belonging to the daughter of the mountain, who is accompanied by Vaani (Devi Saraswati) and Ramaa (Devi Lakshmi), (Seeing that lotus feet) I bow down again and again to Devi Meenakshi, Who is an ocean of compassion. Sri Vidya shining with the splendour of Hrimkara mantras, where she is residing as the left-half of Shiva, Within the bindu, at the center of the Sri Chakra; and presiding over the assembly of deities (in the Sri Chakra), She who is the mother of Shanmukha (Sri Muruga) and Vighnaraja (Sri Ganesha), is the mother of the universe, enchanting all (by her infinite creations and transformations), I bow down again and again to Devi Meenakshi, who is an ocean of compassion. Seeing her as the beautiful presiding deity (as the source of everything), takes away fear, bestows knowledge, and makes us pure, Her dark form, (visualizing) Her feet being worshipped by the one seated on lotus (i.e. Brahmadeva), (I worship her), Who is the younger sister of Sri Narayana, She takes delight in various musical instruments like Veena, Venu (Flute) and Mridanga; and assuming various forms as mother (she plays her play of creations), I bow down again and again to Devi Meenakshi, who is an ocean of compassion. Residing within the hearts of various great yogis and munis, she bestows various siddhis (spiritual accomplishments), Her lotus feet adorned with various flowers (of devotion of devotees) is adored by Narayana himself (Who is fond of pure devotion), She is the embodiment of Nada Brahman, beyond all existences, pervading everything as their innermost soul (i.e. innermost essence), I bow down again and again to Devi Meenakshi, who is an ocean of compassion.
