In plain words

Transcendent beyond all regulation, she is the supreme sovereign of all existence, as the sacred scriptures declare. She shines in the fullness of divine grace, her very nature being supreme bliss and boundless love, pervading every aspect of her form. She effortlessly grants the fulfillment of all aspirations, bestowing profound spiritual attainments even upon the humblest of beings through simple means. Radiant with the crimson hue of lac juice and revered by the Lord of Rama, she is difficult to reach through worldly effort yet easily attained by sincere devotion.

Close to the Sanskrit

She who is to be disregarded by way of being beyond all control, as the Shruti says 'Lord of all, ruler of all', should be known thus. Salutation to her. She is radiant with charm, possessing the nature of supreme bliss and becoming the object of intense love, or having a beauty common to all her limbs. Salutation to the charming one. She is the giver of easy attainments, granting the fulfillment of desired objects through simple means, or indicating the laghimā siddhi and granting the eightfold lordships beginning with laghimā, or else bestowing spiritual accomplishment even upon the extremely low beings of little knowledge and fortune such as animals. Salutation to the giver of easy success. She has the color of lac juice, is worshiped by the elder brother of Lakshmana, is difficult to attain otherwise, is easily accessible through devotion, and wields the plow as her weapon. Salutation to her who has the color of lac juice.
