Verse 3

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ३ ॥

In plain words

He sits on a lion-throne built out of the powers themselves — from Svaśakti, his own Śakti, to Ādiśakti, the primal Śakti, tier on tier. Jewels crowd every limb of him, and they take the mind with them. His piled hair holds a serpent, the crescent moon, the Gaṅgā, a bone, a spray of golden-shower flowers. Parāśakti's companion, the Five-faced One — him we praise.

Him who is seated on the lion-throne composed of the powers beginning with Svaśakti, his own Śakti, and ending with Ādiśakti, the primal Śakti; whose adornment is an abundance of mind-stealing jewels upon every limb; whose crown bears matted locks, serpent, moon, Gaṅgā, bone and the golden-shower blossom; the companion of Parāśakti — the Five-faced One we praise.
