ध्यानम्
 

 
माणिक्यवीणाम् उपलालयन्तीं मदालसां मञ्जुलवाग्विलासाम् ।

महेन्द्रनील द्युतिकोमलाङ्गीगीं मातङ्गकन्यां सततं स्मरामि ॥१
 

 
Dhyanam (Meditation ).
 

 
I constantly contemplate the daughter of

Matanga having a beautiful body shining like

sapphire, languid with intoxication, singing

melodiously and playing gracefully on the

Veena gset with rubies.
 

 
चतुर्भुजे चन्द्रकलावतंसे कुचोन्नते कुडुङ्कुमरागशोणे ।

पुण्ड्रेक्षुपाशाङ्कुशपुष्पबाणहस्ते नमस्ते जगदेकमातः ॥ २
 

 
Oh! mother of the whole universe ! my

salutations unto Thee who is endowed with four

hands and lofty breasts, who holds the red-
sugarcane, rope, spear and flower-arrows in her

hands, who has the digit of the moon for her

crest-jewel and whose body is red with saffron.
