Kāmeśvarāhlādakarī: She is the power having the nature of eternal satisfaction, making him thus by reason of being in the nature of the supreme deity. Salutation to her. Kāmeśvaramaheśvarī: Great and she is the mistress, possessing unconditioned lordship, from the śruti 'The great lord is Purusha'. Kāmīśvara's great majesty belongs to her, meaning she is the blessed goddess. As declared: 'The definition of bhaga is the six: complete lordship, valor, fame, wealth, knowledge, and dispassion.' And from the śruti: 'Him, the supreme Maheshvara of lords.' Salutation to her. Kāmeśvarī: Meaning that she has the form of the Kādi vidyā worshipped by Manmatha. Salutation to her. Kāmakoṭinilayā: Among the ninety-six seats, Kāmakoṭi means the Śrīcakra; she is one whose abode is that. Salutation to her. Kāṅkṣitārthadā: Desired objects are those which have become the objects of desire; she gives those things which fall within the scope of desire. Or, when worshipped for a long time with the wish 'may the worshipped deity be pleased with me', she gives the puruṣārthas spontaneously even to one who is not praying for them. Salutation to her.
