"Smaram yonim lakshmim trithayam idam adau tava manor

Nidhay'aike nitye niravadhi-maha-bhoga-rasikah;

Bhajanti tvam chintamani-guna-nibaddh'aksha-valayah

Sivagnau juhvantah surabhi-ghrta-dhara'huti-sataih."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation :

yonim = the word Yoni standing for the syllable `hrim' 

lakshmim = the word Lakshmi standing for the syllable `Srim' 

trithayam idam = these three 

adau =  in the beginning 

tava mano idaya = having placed in your mantra 

eke = a few

nitye = Oh Eternal one! (Sakti)

niravadhi = endless 

maha-bhoga = great sacrifice (food offered to God)

rasikah = connoiseurs

Bhajanti tvam = they worship you

chintamani = the wish yeilding gem

guna-nibaddha'aksha-valayah = the circles of the rosary tied by thread 

Sivagnau = in the fire of Sivaa (Sakti) 

juhvantah = pouring oblations into the sacrificial fire 

surabhi-ghrta = fragrant clarified butter 

dhara = stream

huti-sataih = with hundreds of oblations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhashayam (Vyakyanam ) :

Oh, mother who is ever present,

Those who realize the essence ,

Of the limitless pleasure of the soul you give,

And who add the seed letter Iim of the god of love,

The seed letter Hrim of the goddess Bhuavaneswaree,

And the seed letter Srim of the goddess Lakhmi,

Which are the three letter triad,

Wear the garland of the gem of thoughts,

And offer oblations to the fire in triangle of Shiva,

With the pure scented ghee of the holy cow, Kamadhenu,

Several times and worship you.

SUM :

Having placed these three : Smara, Yoni, Lakshmi (standing 

for the syllables `klim', `hrim' and `srim') in the beginning of 

your mantra, Oh Eternal one !, a few conoisseurs of endless 

great sacrifice worship you with the circles of the rosary with 

Cintamani gems tied by thread (and) by pouring oblations into 

the fire of Sivaa, with hundreds of oblations of fragrant 

streams of clarified butter. 

(The devotees of Sakti perform endless sacrifice. The devotee of Siva worships only once).
