She chases away parrots in the cool field around the lovely hill of Aruṇai belonging to Śaṅkara,
who severed the body of the world-afflicting Jalandhara and swallowed the ocean poison!
Her blossoming face is the moon (śaśin); her slender form is [fair as] Śacī!
Her tender ear-ornament is a makara; her complexion is like the sky!
Her breasts are heavenly orbs (mandara/antara); her waist is elusive space (antara)!
Her speech is effortless poetry (āśukavi); her eyes are sharp arrows (āśuga)!
