The Loved Damsel That Flourisheth in the Mountain (5/8)

Perfection (Purani) art Thou;
Ancient (Puradhani) art Thou;
Auspicious (Sumangali) art Thou;
Autonomous (Swatantri) art Thou;
Destroyer of Triune Flying Cities (Purantaki) art Thou;
Triple Eyed art Thou;
Heavenly Goddess (Pungavi) art Thou;
Radiant Sankari that is spouse of Siva art Thou;
Narani that is seated
On the thousand petalled lotus (in cranium) art Thou;
Beyond mind's conception art Thou;
Beyond attributes art Thou;
Sakti beyond Sound Principle (Nadanta Sakti) art Thou -
They do ever chant Thy name - Thine devotees.
Is it possible for me to chant their names?
Praised art Thou as Arani
By Him who weareth the Ar (Athi or Konrai) blossom.
Thou gave birth to a million, million universes,
Yet the Vedas still call you a virgin,
Oh, Divine Peacock that hath Bliss Form!
Praised art Thou by Ganga
Whom the corset breasted damsels praise!
Thou, Lady of the flourishing Thevai!
Oh! Daughter that was born
As the eye's apple of the Mountain King!
Oh! Malai Valar Kadali Uma Maiden!
