Verse 27

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

May the pair of Kāmākṣī's lotus feet shine within me: like a poet's mind they are in touch with the nails, though for the poet it is the taste of a nail bitten in thought; like the river of the gods they resound with swans, which here are the anklets; like daybreak they are always lovely with a red glow.

Word for word

Like the mind of poets in contact with nail-taste, like the stream of the gods' river clearly resounding with haṃsaka sounds, like the beauty of day's beginning always lovely with red hue, within me Kāmākṣī's may it flash, the lotus-foot pair.
