Let no one puzzled

Jai Sri Ram,
Out of shyness she could not gaze on her Lord's lotus feet, although her heart was fixed thereon like anything,

At the directions of the sages Lord Shiva and Devi Uma Kalyani paid divine honor to Lord Ganesha,

Let No one be puzzled to hear this,

For one should bear in mind that gods have existed from time without beginning,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Mother Walked to the pavilion

Jai Sri Ram,
Recognizing in her the Mother of the universe and spouse of Lord Shiva, divinities mentally bowed to her,

The perfection of beauty that Sri Uma Kalyani was could not be adequately praised even with millions of tongues,

The superb beauty of the mother of the universe is beyond words and theme of perception,

The mother, walked to the middle of the pavilion, where Lord Shiva was,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
