Goddess who lives in Benares , who has broad eyes like
lotus,
Who entertains mind of God of universe,
Who looks after
the God of the universe Guru Guha ,
Who has a rope of
pearls , who shines like Punnaga Varali,
Who explains thirty six
principles , who is sweet
scented,
Who believes her
devotees and who shines as divine joy.
Oh thanks. I love this kriti.
ReplyDeleteAnnapurna Devi is almost indistinguishable from my Buddhist Devi.Vasudharani.She holds a sheaf of rice(Anna)in her hand and a kalsa She stands on a doubled kalsa.I love all of M.S.Dhikshtars composition
