In plain words

Her arms surpass the tender shoots in tender beauty, and because victory and defeat in such comparisons imply true equality between the contenders, this divine name is entirely fitting. Just as worldly tradition holds that disputes and unions befit only equals, this name suggests that her hands match the tender shoots in peerless grace. Salutation to her whose hands conquer the fresh sprouts—she whose arms are like the wish-fulfilling tree's creeper, adorned with a musk mark, embodying the sacred letter ha, moving with the graceful gait of a swan, and glowing brilliantly in golden ornaments.

Close to the Sanskrit

And between the mutual qualities of victory and defeat, by implication from those possessing them both, those two are established, hence the appropriateness of that name. From the statement that marriage and dispute shine only between equals, the suggestion of that equality in the palm was made by this name. Her arms by which tender sprouts are conquered—salutation to her whose arms conquer sprouts. Whose arms are equal to the wish-fulfilling creeper, adorned with a musk tilaka, whose meaning is the letter ha, with swan-like gait, brilliant with gold ornaments.
