Meaning: Let us wave before the Lord of SIta an array of flames to ward off evil eyes. His speech is soft, delicate, and true. He is the Lord of all the worlds. To see Him in the bright illumination of the HArati flame, seated on the golden coil of AdiSEsha is a grand and imposing spectacle. With beautiful damsels standing reverently on either side with their nose studs gamboling before their faces like tiny moons, wave the HArati of flames before Him with devotion. With the Sun, Moon, Siva, Indra, Sage Suka, Brahma, GaruDa, and other Gods and celestials looking on, O damsels with lustrous bracelets on your wrists, wave the HArati before the spouse of SrI.
