Meaning (brief): O Ambe, you are the abode of happiness, your face radiant as the moon, doe-eyed goddess; you who slew the demon Kolhasura, before whom the gods and celestials bow in salutation; your radiant, jewel-adorned form is described, and you are Jagadamba, the presiding mistress of Kolhapur.
