Meaning
The Goddess’s glance (dṛṣṭiḥ) is expansive (viśālā), auspicious (kalyāṇī), and radiant (sphuṭa-ruciḥ), likened to blue lotuses (kuvalayaiḥ) and a garden (vatikā) of sweet compassion (kṛpādhārā). It protects (avantī) and conquers cities (bahu-nagara-vijayā), worthy of her various names (tat-tan-nāma). In Śrīvidyā, her glance embodies kāruṇya śakti (compassion-power). The verse reflects Shakta devotion, praising her protective and victorious gaze.
