Meaning
Salutations to you, Oh Matanga Tanaya daughter of mountains! You are the consort of Siva, the foe of Cupid the mind-born one!
Your bosom is anointed with fragrant vermilion paste. You are the vanquisher of Mahisahsura.
Your majestic gait is like that of the monarch of elephants. Your feet have the glory of being meditated upon by a host of distinguished sages. You are the supreme deity residing on the banks of the great river. YOu are the younger sister of Lord Padmanabha. Your form shines like an emerald. May you be victorious!
