I salute in the morning Lalitha, with lotus like eyes,

Who has a thilaka* made of musk in her crescent shaped forehead,

Which has blue locks of hair  flowing at both the ends,

And who wears ornaments like swinging bead chains.

Who is all the blessings done by him who wears the crescent,

Who spreads the glitter of molten gold in all directions,

And Who is the king swan of the concentrated mind of sages .
