Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Oh the goddess with the gait of an elephant and having eyes like a lotus!

Do the gods like Vishnu, Siva, the celestials and the eminent sages have the capacity to describe the greatness of your feet ? Devi, how can I a mere mortal and a helpless one of that describe ?

Oh supreme goddess who reside in the great temple at the city of Kanchipura, I am your son.

Oh goddess, having the face like a full moon, please listen! You are goddess non-pareil! My mother! You are the destroyer of the afflictions of those devotees, who worship you constantly.
