Sri Lalitha Pancharatnam

1.    Morning remembrance:
At dawn, the devotee meditates upon the lotus-like face of Goddess Lalita — her red bimba lips, pearl-adorned nose, long eyes reaching the ears, jeweled earrings, gentle smile, and forehead marked with fragrant musk radiate divine grace.
    2.    Worship of Her hands:
Her arms resemble wish-fulfilling vines, adorned with ruby and golden bangles. Her fingers gleam with red hues and grace, holding the sugarcane bow, flower arrows, goad, and noose — symbols of divine control and compassion.
    3.    Salutation to Her feet:
The devotee bows to Her lotus feet — the boat that ferries one across the ocean of birth and death. Her feet grant all desires to devotees and are adored by Brahma, Vishnu, and other deities, marked with divine emblems like the lotus, flag, and discus.
    4.    Praise to the Supreme Mother:
He extols Lalita Bhavani, the supreme Shakti beyond comprehension, the essence of the Vedas, the flawless ocean of compassion, and the power behind creation, preservation, and dissolution.
    5.    Chanting Her holy names:
The devotee utters Her sacred names — Kameshwari, Kamala, Maheshwari, Shrishambhavi, Jagatjanani, Vagdevata, and Tripureshwari — each vibrating with divine energy and blessing.
    6.    Fruit of Recitation:
Whoever recites these five verses of Lalita Ambika in the morning receives Her instant grace — wisdom, wealth, pure joy, and eternal fame.
