These your breasts, nectar-juice ruby-jars, stir no doubt in our minds, O banner of the mountain-lord. Because Ganesha and Skanda, relishing them, ignorant of women’s company, remain youths even now.

Meaning
The Goddess’s breasts (vakṣōjau), likened to ruby-jars of nectar (amṛta-rasa-māṇikya-kutupau), inspire unwavering faith (na sandēha-spandaḥ). Ganesha (dvirada-vadana) and Skanda (krauñca-dalana), nourished by them, remain eternal youths (kumārau), unaware of worldly pleasures (avidita-vadhū-saṅga). In Śrīvidyā, her breasts represent divine sustenance. The verse reflects Shakta devotion, affirming her as the eternal mother.
