Meaning
Kamadeva (manasijaḥ), burnt by Shiva’s anger (hara-krōdha-jvālā), merges with the Goddess’s deep navel-lake (nābhī-sarasi). From it emerges a line of hair (rōmāvalir), likened to a smoke-creeper (dhūma-latikā). Addressed as acala-tanayē and janani, her navel symbolizes the cosmic womb. In Śrīvidyā, this reflects her creative power. The verse reflects Shakta devotion, weaving mythology into her physical beauty.
