A bejeweled nose, that outshines the stars! (Tārākānti-tiraskāri-nāsabharaṇa-bhāsurā)

In the realm of grace and divine allure,
Resides Mother Lalitha, radiant and pure.
Her nose, a masterpiece of beauty untold,
A celestial gem, a sight to behold.

Bathed in moonlight's gentle gleam,
Her nose-stud shines like a wondrous dream.
A tapestry of rubies, precious and bright,
Pearls woven delicately, pure as starlight.

Tarakanti, the light of stars, they say,
Reflects in the jewel that adorns her nose each day.
Maṅgalā and Śuklā, goddesses twain,
Within her nose-stud, their cosmic reign.

Mars, the fiery ruler of rubies so red,
Venus, the diamond's celestial thread,
These planets adorn her nose divine,
Bestowing blessings, warding off malign.

With each breath she takes, a cosmic dance,
Planets align, weaving fate's intricate trance.
Her nose, a beacon of celestial grace,
Shielding souls from the planets' embrace.

In Lalitha's presence, troubles disperse,
Evil effects of planets she'll reverse.
Her nose-stud, a symbol of cosmic might,
Guiding devotees to celestial light.

Oh, Mother Lalitha, beauty unsurpassed,
With your nose-stud, a universe amassed.
May we be blessed by your grace so rare,
And find solace in your divine love's lair.
