Translation
O Queen of Shiva, one who meditates on your face as a point, breasts below it, and Shiva’s half below, as your Kamadeva-aspect, easily agitates women and quickly bewilders the three worlds with your sun-moon breasts.

Meaning
This verse describes a tantric meditation on the Goddess’s form: her face as a bindu (point), breasts, and lower half as Shiva’s (ardhanārīśvara). This visualization, focusing on her manmatha-kalā (Kamadeva-aspect), grants the power to charm women and bewilder the cosmos. Her breasts, likened to the sun and moon, symbolize cosmic duality. In Śrīvidyā, such meditations harness her creative energy, reflecting Shakta tantra’s emphasis on her as the source of desire and power.
