चन्द्रापीडां चतुरवदनां

चन्द्रापीडां चतुरवदनां चञ्चलापाङ्गलीलां
कुन्दस्मेरां कुचभरनतां कुन्तलोद्धूतभृंगाम् ।
मारारातेर्मदनशिखिनं मांसलं दीपयन्तीं
कामाक्षीं तां कविकुलगिरां कल्पवल्लीमुपासे ॥
candrāpīḍāṃ caturavadanāṃ cañcalāpāṅgalīlāṃ
kundasmerāṃ kucabharanatāṃ kuntaloddhūtabhṛṃgām ।
mārārātermadanaśikhinaṃ māṃsalaṃ dīpayantīṃ
kāmākṣīṃ tāṃ kavikulagirāṃ kalpavallīmupāse ॥
ചന്ദ്രാപീഡാം ചതുരവദനാം ചഞ്ചലാപാങ്ഗലീലാം
കുന്ദസ്മേരാം കുചഭരനതാം കുന്തലോദ്ധൂതഭൃംഗാം ।
മാരാരാതേര്മദനശിഖിനം മാംസളം ദീപയന്തീം
കാമാക്ഷീം താം കവികുലഗിരാം കല്പവല്ലീമുപാസേ ॥ ൬ ॥
I serve and worship with great regularity and ultimate devotion that Mother Kamakshi
Who is having the crescent moon as ornament in the crown (and the consort of the Lord Shankara who wears crescent moon in his head)
Who is having and intensely brilliant and attractive face (some believe she is four headed in her manifestation as Sarasvati) (and She is the consort of the Lord Brahma who is having four heads)
Who is moving her attractive sideway glances playfully causing amusement and sweet agony to all around
Who is smiling sweetly showing an attractive row of teeth, so white and shining like the Kunda or jasmine flowers
Who is crouching forward as if the weight of her buxom breasts pull her down
Who is having bees humming all around, the bees who are visiting her hair decorated with divine flowers from all over the universe
Who is kindling the intense fire of desire of the Lord Shankara who is indeed the arch enemy of the God of intense desires Kamadeva himself
Who is the sweetness, sweet thing that visits the entire community of the poets
Who is the Wish yielding Kalpavalli creeper in the Garden of Divine beings, the creeper that bestows
on the devotees all that they desire
Note.. there is a story that when Kamadeva succumbed to the fire of the third eye of Lord Shiva and turned into ashes, at the same time the Mother Goddess Kamakshi too took birth from those ashes.
