(Salutations to devi Kamakshi) whose essence is subtler than the subtlest, and whose form is well-marked with auspiciousness and imperishable patience, the Knowledge of whose essence refines the rakshasas (demons within signifying evil tendencies) and gives Undecaying rest within the three worlds, whose imperishable essence can be directly experienced in meditation; who is Dakshayani (born as the daughter of Daksha) and the underlying witness of everything, who is marked with auspicious attributes and is ever playful; we extol devi Kamakshi, the beloved of Sri Mahesha.
