O Mother! The expanse of Thy breasts bears a creeper-like necklace made of pearls got from the frontal globe of Gajaasura (the elephant-demon). It rests there with its white brilliance variegated from within by the reflection of the ruddy tinge of Thy bimba-like lips, as if it were the confluence of the (white) fame and the (red) valour of Thy Consort, the Destroyer of the Cities.”
