Five jewels on Minaksi

I continuously adore Minaksi, Who is the ocean of mercy and benevolence, Who is resplendent like a thousand morning-sun, Who is resplendent with a garland of Keyur, Who has red-lips like the Bimba flower, Who looks charming due to beautiful teeth-array and smile, Who is adorned with yellow apparel, Whose lotus-feet is served by Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, Who is the ultimate particle, and Who is auspicion personified.||1||

I continuously adore Minaksi, Who is the ocean of mercy and benevolence, Who is shining forth due to a pearl necklace and a beautiful diamond, Whose face is resplendent like the full-moon, Who has tinkling anklets and bells studded with jewels, Who is shiny with a lotus-like light (pink), Who bestows all the fruits of wishes, Who is the daughter of Himalaya, and Who is honored by Ramaa (Lakshmi) and Vani (Sarasvati).||2||

I continuously adore Minaksi, Who is the ocean of mercy and benevolence, Who is Srividya, Who stays at the left-side of Siva, Who is adorned by the ‘hrii.m’ root-sound, Who resides in the middle of the dot of Sricakra, Who is the ruler of the assembly of demi-gods, Who is the mother of Six-headed Kartikeya and hurdle-destroyer Ganesh, and Who entices the whole world.||3||

I continuously adore Minaksi, Who is the ocean of mercy and benevolence, Who is beautiful ruler adorned with wealth, Who absolves fear, Who bestows knowledge, Who is stainless, Whose Kali form shines in light, Whose lotus-feet is revered by Brahma (Kamalasana), Who is the Younger Sister of Narayana, Who enjoys the sounds of lute, flute and drums, Who is present in many forms, and Who is the Mother.||4||

I continuously adore Minaksi, Who is the ocean of mercy and benevolence, Who resides in the heart of many Yogi and sages, Who showers many wealth and siddhis to us, Who has many flowers present at Her dual-feet, Who is honored by Narayana, Who is present as Nadabrahman, Who is beyond everything, and Who is the fundamental particle of all the particles.||5||
