In plain words
She is Lākinī, the divine presence who manifests in the beautiful form of women, glowing with the soft rosy-pink of a freshly blossomed pomegranate. Her forehead is illuminated by a radiant pendant, and she is adored by the three-eyed Lord Śiva. Lākinī: The syllable 'ka' signifies the supreme bliss of Brahman. That which lacks this bliss is 'akam'—the world of suffering, which nevertheless appears as non-different from Brahman. The syllable 'lam' represents the ultimate dissolution of this world. She who holds both this world of experience and its dissolution is Lākinī—the absolute reality, untouched by the falsehood, inertia, and sorrow of the universe. Salutations to Lākinī. Lalanārūpā: A 'form' (rūpa) is that which reveals or signifies. She manifests through the beauty, attire, and ornaments of women; or rather, all women are Her very forms and expressions of prosperity, as the scriptures declare that the entire universe is marked by the divine masculine and feminine principles. Salutations to Lalanārūpā. Lasaddāḍimapāṭalā: The pomegranate flower represents a brilliant, freshly opened blossom. She shines with this exquisite rosy hue—a delicate blend of white and red, like the Bandhūka flower, embodying the vibrant warmth of divine consciousness. Salutations to Lasaddāḍimapāṭalā.
Close to the Sanskrit
Lākinī, having the form of a woman, pink like a shining pomegranate flower, having a forehead shining with a forehead-ornament, worshipped by the eye on the forehead. Lākinī: 'ka' is happiness, from the Śruti 'kaṃ brahma'; that which is not that is 'akam', the world of suffering perceived as non-different from Brahman; 'lam' means it is dissolved, which is indicative of creation etc.; she who has 'lam' and 'akam' is Lākinī, meaning she who is Brahman, whose nature is excluded from the cause of the false, inert, and painful world. Salutations to Lākinī. Lalanārūpā: 'rūpa' is that by which something is known, i.e., an indicator, or a pervading sign or mark; she whose form is the dress, ornaments, or shape of women is so; or she whose forms are women, who are her manifestations, because of the Purāṇic statement 'Behold this world marked with the male sign and marked with the female sign'. Salutations to Lalanārūpā. Lasaddāḍimapāṭalā: by the word 'dāḍima', its blossomed flower is indicated; 'lasat' means freshly shining and blossoming, and that pomegranate; this is indicative of Bandhūka and other flowers; pink like that, meaning she who has a form dominated by white mixed with red, because of the statement 'white mixed with red is pink'. Salutations to Lasaddāḍimapāṭalā.
