I prostrate before goddess Kantimati, the young ("Yuvathim") bride of Sankara. I prostrate ("Vandeham") before the mother ("Jananeem") of Guruguha. Her face ("vadana") is of the form ("akaara") of mystic Bijakshara -- Hreem. She is established in the lustrous ("shoba") golden ("Hiranya") mansion ("sadanam") studded ("maya") with gems ("mani").She is extolled ("vinutham") by Indra ("paaka shasanaa") and other celestials ("deva"). She, the daughter ("suthaam") of Himavan, is worshipped ("natha") by Parashurama. She is always venerated ("araadhitham") by Suka, Saunaka and others ("aadi"). She dwells ("sthithaam") on the banks ("Thata") of the crystal-clear ("shuddha") river Tamra Parni. She is anointed with holy waters from 108 ("Shankadyashtotthara") pitchers ("Kalasha") and conches. She is benevolent ("modam") to the celestials.
