SOUNDARYA LAHARI

(Adi sankaraacharya)

First part – Ananda lahari 

Shivah shaktyaa yukto yadi bhavati shaktah prabhavitum

pranantum stotum vaa katha maktra punyah prabhavati  1

Lord Siva (potential energy) can do Creation. He cannot vibrate by Himself. Without  Shakti (kinetic energy),  Siva cannot work. He has to vibrate through Shakti, and cannot vibrate all by Himself. Brahma (creation), Vishnu (Maintenance), and Maheswara (destruction), all these are three different vibrations. All these three vibrate through Shakti. That moving energy is Shakti (kinetic energy). You are the catalyst for all three of them. How can I get you Amma, I am not an able minded person.

Harahsamkshud yainam bhajathi bhasithoddhoola navidhim   2

Divine Mother runs this world with Ichchaa shakti (desire), kriya shakti (action), and Gnana shakti (wisdom). Brahma (Generator) Vishnu (operator) and Rudra (destructor) get their work done through you, Shakti, after all. Such is the power of Shakti i.e., Kinetic energy.

jadaanaam chaitanya stabaka makaranda shrutijharee

daridraanaam chintaamani gunanikaa janma jaladhau

nimagnaanaam damshtraa muraripu varaahasya bhavati!  3

avidyaanaa manta stimira mihira dweepanagaree : The dust from the feet of Divine Mother

jadaanaam chaitanya stabaka makaranda shrutijharee:   It can remove the ignorance and bring consciousness even amongst the dull headed people. Her magnanimity is a flow of honey like sweetness.  

daridraanaam chintaamani gunanikaa janma jaladhau: It can remove the poverty and bring wealth like a garland of Chintamani, the unique garland of jewels.

nimagnaanaam damshtraa muraripu varaahasya bhavati : The demon Hiranyaaksha has rolled this earth like a mat and thrown it into ocean.  When people started crying, Sri Mahavishnu took the form of a Pig and brought the submerging earth out carrying it on His his powerful cornered teeth and saves the earth as well as its in-dwellers.  The magnanimous looks of Amma is akin to this.

In Varaha  Puran the story goes like this:

In Varaha Avatar Parabrahman takes the submerging earth out of the sea. Man is a replica of earth. Samsaar (day to day life) is a replica of water. Man will have wisdom teeth after becoming youth.  These wisdom teeth represent wisdom.

The theme of the story is : Oh, man don’t get submerged into water like samsaar. Earn wisdom through Kriyayoga sadhana. With this pure wisdom, get out of this samsar, get aligned

with/merged into Parabrahman. This is meant for crossing Brahma granthi i.e., Moolaadhara, Swadhistaana, and Manipura.

 Varah means va the great, raaha means way, the great way i.e., to acquire the great way of getting pure wisdom Atma Gnaan. The great way is SUSHUMNA way from Mooladhara chakra to Sahasrara chakra.

Mooladhara chakra, Swadhistaana chakra, Manipura chakra, Anahata chakra, Vishuddha chakra, and Kootastha or Agna chakra together constitute ‘Kulam”. 

Mother is Nature or kinetic energy. Father is Cosmic consciousness or Potential energy. Together they constitute Universe or Jagat.

The individualized Maa(not) Yaa(real) is Kundalinee. All individualized Maa (not) Yaa (real) put together is Maayaa.

Maya is Macro cosmos. Kundalinee is Micro cosmos.

Creation order starts from sookshmam (subtleness) to Physical. 

Physical to Subtle creation is known as Pralaya or deluge.

This way subtle to physical, and physical to subtle shall be happening incessantly.

Man consumes food and water. They gradually transforms into Rasa, Rakta (Blood), maamsa (flesh), methas (Intellect), asthi (Bones), majja(bone marrow) and sukram (sperm).  This Sukram (Sperm) when flows downwards (athomarg), it is known as Kaama or maya or pitruyana marg (path) or Krishna marg. This Sukram or sperm is known as garhapatyaagni or mandakini. 

This Sukram (Sperm) when flows upwards or Oorthwa marg,  First it becomes Ojas, Sahas, and Bhraajas.   This is called by avahaneeyaagni or viyat Ganga. It is known as Oorthwa or Sukla or Deva yana marg (path).

Divine mother, the nectar flows out of your two feet. It will drench 72000 subtle nadis through out the body. It shall leave Sahasraara chakra and reaches Mooladhara chakra. There you will be sleeping like a snake with 3½ turns.  Its tail lies in the upward chakras and head in the mooladhara chakra (downward chakra). This is known as Kundalinee shakti.  That means the Kundalinee shakti takes you to the Sahasrara in the upward path. In the downward path it sleeps in the mooladhatra chakra. This is known as Kundalinee shakti.  That means upward kundalinee takes you to Paramatma, God the Father.   Downward kundalinee takes you to Maya marg in Mooladhara. 

To come into the orbit of human orbit it has to cross three orbits namely 1) Mineral plane, 2) plant plane, and 3) animal plane. In the remaining one, it has to get perfection. Then the sadhak gets liberated. That is the fulfilment of human plane.

Saudaakhya kala consists of subtle, progressiveness, and unparalleled effulgence. Since Divine Mother is having this Saudaakhyakala, She is known as Saudamini.

Kunadalinee shakti crosses Moolaadhara, Swadhistaana, and Manipura chakras initially. This is known as crossing Brahma Granthi (brain of instincts and emotions). It has 56 + 52 + 62 =170 rays. They are called Agnijwaalaas or flames of Agni. 

Then it crosses Manipura, Anaahata, and Visuddha chakras. This is known as crossing Rudra Granthi (brain of instincts and emotions). It has  62 + 54 + 72 =158 rays. They are called Chandrakalaas.  They are called flames of Moon.

Hence this Kundalinee is called by names such as Moolaadhaaraika nilayaa Brahmagranthi vibhedinee, Kundalinee bisatanthu thaneeyasi Vishnugranthi vibhedinee. The Saudaakhyakala will be added unto him then. He will become true Yogi. Such Yogi shall have no Physical outlook inspite of being in physical world. He will get Nirapeksha Niratishaya happiness i.e., true and real happiness.  He will understand that all are apparent happinesses.  This is called Jeevanmukta sthiti.

Divine Mother, You have stolen half the body of Siva. In spite of that one will get a doubt that you stole the other half also. Because your whole body became red coloured, three eyed, heart slightly bent due to the magnanimity shown to the devotees, wearing a crown with crescent moon.  Siva is Potential enenrgy, and Divine Mother is kinetic energy.   Potential enenrgy is considered to be white colour and does not move, and kinetic energy is of red colour and is called moving energy.  Siva expresses Himself through Divine Mother.

The red colour of Divine Mother denotes affection, Tiara or kireet denotes Sarveswaree tatwam, Moon denotes pleasure, Heart denotes protection to devotees, and three eyes denotes the knowledge of past, present, and future.

That means the senses and its leader mind may falter.  But You, Divine Mother, remain with Sadasiva always eternally.

Mother Divine, avoid Brahma and walk at a distance lest you may be hit with the crown of Him.  Avoid Vishnu’s Crown while salutating you lest your beautiful and tender feet will get harmed.  Similarly avoid Mahendra while salutating you,

Divine Mother, You eternally have no beginning and ending. You are ever surrounded by rays and Anima siddhis that are emanated from you. Who worship you as such and considers all wealth equivalent to grass, shall get out of deluge. It is not a wonder.

Divine Mother, the place between sun and moon is Your anahata chakra.  Your body is flawless like Siva. Siva is the embodiment of Ananda or happiness. And He is known as Bhairavee roopa. 

We will know regarding an incident after its happening.  The person who knows about the happening of the incident earlier is known as Bhairava. The sadhaks or the devotees who can have the knowledge of three tenses (kaalagnaani) is known as Kaala bhairava.

Siva – Shakti are denoted by Ananda Bhairavi-Ananda Bhairava, Para – Paraananda.

When Creation is progressing, then Para (Principal factor) or Shakti or Ananda Bhairavi is important. This is akin to tree and and the fruit of that tree. 

Parananda  (subsidiary factor)is unimportant.

In deluge Siva or Paraanand, or Ananda bhairav is important.  It is akin to the essence of tree gets into the seed. At that stage the tree will be in sprouting stage. The the seed is important than the tree.

The importance is Seshitwam, and unimportance is seshatwam. 

Principal factor is unimportant to Para.

In unity of Seshitwam, and seshatwam, Navaatmakam lies equally.

Manastatwa in Agnachakra, aakaasha tatwa in Vishuddha chakra, Vayutatwa in Anahatachakra, Agnitatwa in Manipurachakra, Jalatatwa in Swadhistaanachakra, and Pruthvitatwa in Mooladhara –all these are nothing but You only.  You with an intention to make or transform You into world form, You take the form of Sivayuvati (Siva’s wife). Siva is called Ananda bhirava or Siva tatwa.

Panchabhootams, and Mother in mind is Her Paratatwa only.

Mothertatwa only transforms as manas(mind) aakash(ether), Vaayu(air), Agni (fire), Jalam (Water), and Prithvee (earth) in six chakras.

Siva and Shakti work together form deluge (Pralayam) to Creation (Srushti).  This is called ‘effulgence (Prakash).  This is Bindu i.e.,ShuddhaPragna becoming ‘Vimarsha’ Bindu. This progressive transformation is known as ‘Nada bindu kalaa’. 

The ego or ahamkaratatwa in Prakash or effulgence is motivated by this transformation quality of ‘Vimarsha’ only. Vimarsha shaktiis called Sivayuvati.

The Shaktitatwa which causes Creation is known as Mahatripurasundari.

The Shaktitatwa which causes Deluge is known as ‘Mahakali’.

The place between two eye brows is called ‘Kootastha’. It is Wisdom giving/flowing direction. It is East.  Its reigning deities are Parashambhunath, and Chitparaamba.

Your related Shambhu is located in Kootastha or Agna positive chakra. He had two sides due to Chichhakti. He is Para. He is beyond the reach of normal man who does not do any meditation. He is beyond the effulgence of Sun and Moon.  His seat is  thousand petalled Sahasrara chakra.

Mother Divine, in Vishuddha chakra crystal clear ether or akashatatwa is manifested by You equivalent to Siva. Oh Bhagavatee, I meditate on thee.  Siva and Asiva both are equal. The moon light emenates from them. That will remove internal ignorance of three worlds, and will glow like bird chakora.

I pray before the Swans (Haan saas) which wanders in the minds of Yogis.  The  wisdom Swans likes only honey in lotusses.

Here the swan (Haan saas) means Kriya yoga Pranayamam i.e., control over breath in and breath out.  The wisdom lotus means the yogi is unattached to this mundane world.

The yogi differentiates between what is desirable and what is undesirable wisdom like a swan that seperates water and milk. By praying and practicing Siva and Shakti 18 types of education will be easier for him to master over them. So I pray the RajaHamsa i.e., swan (Haan saas).  

Hrith pundareekam means lotus like heart. It constitutes Daharaakasam.

 

Veda vedaanga vidyas(education):

Four Vedas, Six vedangaas, and also meemamsa, nyaaya, Darshana, dharmashaastra, Aurveda, Gaandharvaveda, Dhanurveda,  and Artha sastra together constitutes 18 types of education or Ashtaadasa vidyaas.

Siva and Shakti together are called Raja Hamsas. Their conversation is Veda vedaanga vidyas (education). Siva and Shakti are to be meditated in Anahata chakra. Siva and Shakti together are called Hanseshwaria and Hanseshwari.

I pray that Siva who in the form of Jalatatwa is Swadhistaana chakra.  Divine Mother You are called as ‘Samaya’. I pray You who are glorious.  The glorious and the most powerful radiation of Siva may burn the worlds.  Your cool and magananimous look(s) will casue appeasement. 

We must meditate on Siva and Shakti at Swadhistaana chakra for coolness.

Mother Divine I pray Siva in Manipura chakra who makes it as His dwelling place. Meditation in this chakra removes darkness by its lightning effulgence. The ignorance was burnt by Siva, the incarnate of the pure, clear cloud, and uncorrupted mind

At the onset of Creation, Mother Divine does the dance called ‘laasyam’.  Here She does lasyam as such she is to be remembered as Ananda Bhairavi.

At the onset of deluge or Pralayam, Siva  does the dance called ‘Tandavam’.  Here He is to be remembered as Ananda Bhairava.

You are to be meditated as ‘samayaa’ Shakti’, and Siva as Navaatmaka. Both are to be meditated at Mooladhara chakra. Siva is called Father, and Shakti is Jaganmata or Divine Mother.

Shakti is of five types. They are: 1) anustaana saamyam, 2)avasthaa  saamyam, 3) adhistaana  saamyam, 4) roopa  saamyam, &  5) naama saamyam.

1)anustaana saamyam: Siva and Shakti both are the abodes of six (shat) chakras.

2)avasthaa  saamyam:  Siva and Shakti both are Father and Mother. Shakti is Creation, and Siva is destruction,  Shakti is Lasya, and Siva is Tandava,  Both are Nrutya (Dance) and roopa (form).

3) adhistaana  saamyam: rain is Amother and (Pralaya) Fire is Siva.  

4) roopa  saamyam : It is mutual. Half body is Mother, and half body Siva. Artha Naareeswara.

5) naama saamyam: Siva –Sarvaanee, Bhava – Bhavaani, Rudra – Rudraani. These are the name pairs for Divine Mother and Father. 

1) Kula vyooham, 2)Naama vyooham, 3) Kaala vyooham, 4) gnaana vyooham, 5) Chitta vyooham, 6) Naada vyooham, 7)Bindu vyooham, 8) Kalaa vyooham, and 9) Jeeva vyooham, are the nine strategies of Siva and as such He is called Nava vyoohaatmak.

Sruhtiraadhaaramaadhaare Aadhaare sarva devataah

Aadhaare sarvavedaashcha tasmaat Aadhaara maashrayet. 

The root cause of Chakra vibration is due to Life Force merging  with Moolaadhaara and hence the Jeeva is developed. This is Kunadlinee yoga. 

As because of awakening of Mooladhara the body will vibrate. Yogi will dance. This synchronises with Shruti and Laya of  dances of Siva’s (Tandava) and Shakti’s (Lasya).  From then, the life of Sadhak is/will be fulfilled. It will liaise with universal plan.   This leads to Nyaasam i.e., mental appropriation or assignment of various parts of the body to tutelary divinities. Ex: Karanyaasam i.e., a mode of folding hands in prayer.

Laasya Nrutyam of Divine Mother, and Taandava Nrutyam of Siva is of paramount importance in Yoga Prakriya. 

This is the birth place of Yogaananda Lahari.

Different types of adventures of Eswara were sung musically by Goddess Saraswati. Divine Mother, Saraswati’s Veena is nothing compared to Your sweet musical prowess.

Divine Mother, Your father is very affectionate to Touch with the edge of the hands.  You are lifted up above by Siva and You used to hold your hands quite often.  As such You used to get perturbed or discordant.  As a result of this You used to bite the lower lip. How can I describe your such beautiful lower lip.

Here the coolness touches the top of the skull when the cosmic consciousness personifies.

Divine Mother, Your face is so beautiful even though it is creepy due to the embraces (nearness) of Siva.  It is pure, pious, and with necklace of pearls like tender stalk of the lotuses.

Divine Mother,You are an expert in musical songs. Three folds in the gullet resemble the sacred thread. Kalyaani etc ragas from which the three musical notes viz., shadja, madhyama, and gandhara originates  from the gullet.

Nakhebhyaha santrasyan parathama mathanaa dantakarioha

Chaturnaam sheershaanaam sama mabhaya hastaarpana dhiyaa 70

The tender four shoulders of Divine Mother represent Brahma’s heads. Four heads represent mano (air) (mind – vaayu tatwa), buddhi (fire) (intellect - agnitatwa), chitta (water)(sphere of thinking – jala or Varuna tatwa), and ahamkaara (earth)(ego – pruthvi tatwa).

In deluge Sadasiva keep to Himself the fifth head of Brahma i.e., akaasha tatwa. akaasha tatwa means ether, the most subtle.

Oh Divne Mother, Your hands with nails and the light emanating from them is so beautiful and can not be described.  The red lotus feet of Goddess Lakshmi cannot be comparable with inferior Lotus.

Yadaalokyaashankaakulita hrudayo haasajanakaha

Swakumbhau herambaha parimrushati hastena jhaditi  72 

Divine Mother,  Your Anahata chakra (heart) is so kind, it always showers magnanimity with ever youthful and energetic knowing the self (Kumaraswaamy), and leader of the senses (Ganesha) i.e., mind. Mother divine looked with kindness at the devotees who had both the qualities.

Na sandehaspando nagapati pataake manasi naha

Pibantau thau yasmaadavidita vadhoosanga rasikau

Kumaaraavadyaapi dwiradavadana krauchadalanau   73 

Divine Mother, Your Anahata chakra (heart) is impregnated undoubtedly with nectar.  Because of that only Kumaraswamy  became ever youthful and energetic and knower of Himself, and Vinayaka became the leader and controller of the senses and mind.

Ganesh had two wives viz., siddhi (fulfilment) and Buddhi (intellect).  One with Buddhi only can get Siddhi.

Kumaraswami had two wives. Valli (exceptional) and Devasena (army of positive forces).  Husband of Devasena is Kumaraswamy i.e., leader of positive forces.

Oh my Divine Mother, the place between Anahata and Vishuddha is covered by necklace made up of pure and clear pearls. That necklace wears the fame of Siva.

Oh Divine Mother, this Sankaraa is born out of your Anahata chakra, the place beteen the Ida and Pingala subtle nerves.  Due to your kindness poetry flowed out. Hence Sankara was born as one amongst poets.

Gabheere the naabheesarasi krutasamgo manasijaha

Samuttasthau tasmaa dachalatanaye dhoomalatikaa

Janastaam jaaneete tavajanani romaavaliriti   76

Oh Divine Mother, Manmatha, the God of love, is the king of lustful mind.  He bit Siva with love. That means pure mind (Siva- suddha buddhi) got disturbed. Siva became angry and burnt the love God. Manmath, God of love, cupid, immersed in the navel of Siva. The tendril like smoke emanated from there.  It appears like a hair climbing upwards from Your navel. That is sadhak became successful to come up from Manipura (navel) to Sahasrara. 

Here the navel is Manipura, Breast (s) Ida and Pingala, the tendril which goes upwards is Sushumna.

Vimardaadanyonyam kuchakalashayo rantarangam

Tanoobhootam vyoma pravishadiva naabhim kuharineem  77

Divine Mother, Your waist resembles small and thin wave of Yamuna river at the confluence of Anahata and Visuddha, colliding with Ida and Pingala (Breasts/banks), and entering your cave like navel i.e., Manipura.  

sthiro ganga vartaha stanamukula romavali lathaa

Kalaavaalam kundam kusumashara thejo hutabhujaha

Rathe rleelaagaaram kimapi tava naabhirgirisuthe

Biladwaaram siddhe rgirisha nayanaanaam vijayate  78

Divine Mother, Your navel (manipura chakra), is like a whirlpool in river Ganga. It is stable. It is the tendril to Anahata.  Or is it the Homa fire of love God. The place between the Ida and Pingala (breasts) resembles Sushumna path. Or is it the play house of love Goddess (Rathi Devi).  Or is it the cave of Sadavasiva for his penance.  It is beyond description. It is irradiant. 

Jealousy and envy will burn In Manipura chakra stalk.

Divine Mother’s Manipura chakra is the fire place for love God. Her navel is the play house for Ratidevi, consort of Love God.  Her Manipura chakra is the cave for Sadasiva.

Through Manipura chakra only the fetus gets food from mother.

Jeeva will remain in trance prior to birth. That stage is called Siva. It is also called cave.  Hence the navel of Divine Mother is beyond description.

Divine Mother, Your Anahata, the place between Ida and Pingala (breasts), is very thin by itself due its tiredness and slightly bent as such.  Your waist appears as though it is the tree on the banks of a rushing river eroded.

Oh Divine Mother, the wet corset or bodice, the golden coloured Anahata chakra place, three folded Swadhistaana and Manipurachakra looks to be astoundingly beautiful.

Divine Mother, Your father has given his temendrous weight as a dowry to you.  As such your behinds are broad and dense and therefore they both hide all the universe, and make the world light.  Mother can bear the whole world. It is nothing for Her.

Mother Divine, Your golden thighs are like stems of banana plants and are stronger than the elephant trunks. Your knees are holy and have become hard by salutating Siva.

Nakhaagrachchhanmaanaha sura mukuta shaanaika nishitaaha  83

Divine Mother, it appears as though to win over Siva, Cupid, Manmatha, made Nature consisting of Akkaash, Vaayu, Agni, Jalam, and Prithvee as five arrows. Cupid made the beautiful Nature to entice Siva or Purusha.  And also made the beautiful legs with nails as arrow case and arrow case.

Divine Mother, Your lotus Feet are revered by scriptures and are being adored. Lotus will be untouchedby water (sansar) in spite of being in water. Such lotus feet may please be put on my head, this aredent devotee, with kindness. The lotus which has been washed by Ganga has been same as the herds of pure minds.  Those feet are the jewel amongst jewel, choodamani, of  Bhagavan Vishnu.

Namaskarams ro your feet with the brightness of vermilion which is auspicious.  Siva or pure mind yearn for Your footprint collision.

Lalaate bhartaaram charana kamala thaadayati the 

Chiraadantaha shalyam dahanakruta munmoolothavathaa

Tulaakotikwaanaih kilikilitha meeshaanaripunaa  86

Divine pure Nature, You have touched the forehead of Purusha i.e., Siva with your feet. It appears as though Cupid has become triumphant over Siva i.e., pure mind vis a vis  beautiful Nature.

Adi Sankara has diplomatically stated here that union of Cosmic consciousness and Nature is a must for this Maya sansar.

The sperm which goes up in the direction of Mooladhara, swadhistaana, Manipura, anahata, Vishuddha, Agna, and Sahasrara shall cross the barriers of Ojas and Bhraajas.

The sperm in Tretagniis is called Dakshinaagni. It satiates the senses or for the satisfaction of lust. 

The sperm which is useful for the production of offspring is called Gaarhapatyaagni. 

The sperm which is useful for the upliftment of spirituality or Kundalinee siddhi is called Avahaneeyaagni.

Dakshinaagni and Gaarhapatyaagni both are downward going sperm. As such both are called Athomarg.

The upward going sperm is known as Avahaneeyaagni. It is Oordwadisaa marg and it is called Sushumnaa marg. 

Downward going sperm is of Paatala marg.

Downward going or Athomarg sperm is of Gaarhapatyaagni and is known as martyaloka marg. 

The sperm that is useful for the fulfilment of Kundalinee siddhi i.e., Avahaneeyaagni is of Oordwadisaa marg or Devalika marg.

Gotra skhalanamu:

Go = senses, tra = protection, skhalanamu = ejaculation. 

Gotraskhalanamu means weakening of senses power. 

Sperm is known as Ganga.  Reaching Sahasrara chakra of  sperm is known as Artha nareeswara tatwam. 

Divine Mother kicks Siva’s forehead with Her feet. It  represents Pure mind subdues Purusha or Siva in order to pave the way for sansar.

Divine Mother, Your feet are skilled and can stay in cool mountains. Your feet can stay in cold snowy nights, and brightly with development.   Your lotus feet provides Lakshmi i.e., wealth to the devotees. Such feet can not be affected by snow. Divine Mother,  Your feet are victorious over lotus. 

Here the severely meditating man will have paraa shakti. 

Initially Pasrashakti is hot.  As the kundalinee is wakened gradually upto Sahasrara it becomes cool. Then she is called Haimavati.

Divine Mother, Your feet are the grip of existence to fame, not a place for hazards, they are hard like turtle top.  Turmeric is auspicious to married ladies. The turmeric is grinded in the grindstone. Your feet are made grindstone at the time of marriage as an honour.  

Nakhai rnaakastreenaam karakamala samkocha shashibhihi

Wishing trees shall fulfil the justified desires of devas or positive forces. Divine Mother, Your sacred feet shall provide protected weath to poor and sincere devotees at once.

Mother, You will provide the justified desires and provide wealth always to the sincere poor devotees. I salute Your such benign feet.  They consist of beauty and honeyed qualities.  I submit the bunch of mandara flowers at Your feet.  I prostrate before You with stock, barrel, and gun i.e., Manasaa, vacha, and karmana.  Let me get the sentiment of Bhramara keetaka nyaayam.

Chchhalaadaakshaanam charanakamalam chaarucharite   91

Divine Mother, those who wanted to learn the play of Rajahansa are waiting for you to learn so that they can do proper Pranayam in a systemtic and rhythmic way.

Here Raja = it is a serious and not to be taken lightly,   and   hamsa = business.  Pranayam is a seriuous business. Even the sadhaks  are waiting for your disciplined way of training. 

Rajahansa = It is not bird swan. It is breath haan  saa. = one breath in + one breath out. 

12 disciplined  breaths in + 12 breaths out = One dharanaa pranaayamam.

Mother is Maraalee mandagamana. That means she is is the expert in doing incessant disciplined pranayamam.

The expert in doing incessant disciplined pranayamam is called Paramahansa.

Oh Mother, Brahma, Rudra, Vishnu, and Eswara are on Your four sides like four legs of a Cot.  Siva is embellished with Sadasivatatwa. 

In sadhana, Kundalinee gets ascending stage (Oordhwagati).   Then It crosses Brahmagranthi (brain of instincts & desires), Rudragranthi (brain of emotions & affections), & Vishnugranthi (brain of inintellect & wisdom). After crossing these these three stages, It reaches Sadasiva stage. These cardinal points in Sushumna path are four milestones. 

Brahmaganthi:  moolaadhara,  swaadhistaana, and manipura

Rudragranthi:  manipura,   Anaahata, and Vishuddha

Vishnugranthi:  Vishuddha,  agna, and  sahasraara;

Sadhak crosses these three stages.  Then the sadhak comes across Sadasivatatwa.

Sahasraare ramie saha rahasi patyaa viharase. This is called Arthanaareeswaratatwa.

Oh Divine Mother, Your mercy is in the form of curled hair. Your mind is very soft.  You are having the Sushumna marg  which is in the midst of Ida and Pingala. Your strong hips give us the firm dtermination.  With the mind and words of Sadasiva and in the form of ‘Aruna’ energy shall protect us forever.

Divine Mother, moon is your jewel box . The blackness of the moon is your musk in the box. The incense water is the moon water. It is always emptied for you by Brahma for refilling.  The crescents we see of the moon is Your canister of emerald full of divine camphor.

Divine Mother, You are the divine consort of  Siva.  You are the bearer of Siva, the destroyer of three cities.

Three cities = causal world, astral world, and physical world.

Worshiping of Your pious feet is impossible to normal people. Devas or Gods such as Indra etc have got Animaadi siddhis due to your mercy. 

Here Indra means pure minded sadhaks.

Divine Mother, Several learned worship Brahma – Saraswati, and is becoming master of learning.

One is becoming the master of Lakshmi, wealth.

But to attain the mastery over You is next to impossible. 

The mercy of Amma can be attained only with Her kindness. Chichchakti can  emanate from Her mercy.

Oh Mother Parashakti, You are one with Parabrahma.  Those who have learned shall worship You as Goddess Saraswati, the consort pof Brahjma, or address You as Goddess Lakshmi, consort of Vishnu, or Parvati, consort of Siva.  You are separate from those three. You are the unique Mahamaya.  Mother, You give life to this inert world. You are beyond all limits.

Oh Mother, Kindly let me know when shall I be able to drink water that comes out of Your reddish Feet cleansed by water? That water who so ever shall drink shall be abile to talk, and shall be able to recite poetry even if she/he is dumb & deaf. Amma, when will I get your Karuna or kindness.

Oh Mother, Saraswati -  Brahmi, and  Lakshmi – Vishnu, both are jealous of You who worship You. Even Cupid is jealous of You who worship You.  He who worships You is unattached to this Maya. He remains  ever happy with beatitude.

Oh Goddess of words Saraswati, It is like  showing  burning camphor to the Sun as a reverence , getting water from the moon stone and offering that water to the moon, like offering oblations with Ocean water to the ocean, likewise this stotram of worship is made to Thee.
