I meditate On Maa Matangi, Divine Form Of The Divine Mother. Sitting On A Throne Of Jewels, She Is Listening To The Sweet Sounds Of Parrots. The Colour Of Her Divine Body Is Dark. She Has One Foot On A Lotus, And She Wears A Half-Moon On Her Divine Forehead. Wearing A Garland Of Flower Buds, She Touches The Strings Of A Vina. Her Divine Form Is Wrapped In Red Garment. In Her Hand Is A Shell Bowl. Her Divine Face Is Luminous And Her Fragrance Is Divine, And A Red Dot Shines On Her Divine Forehead.
