विभक्तत्रैवर्ण्यं  व्यतिकरित लीलाञ्जनतया
विभाति त्वन्नेत्र त्रितयमिदं ईशानदयिते

रजः सत्त्वं बिभ्रत्तम इतिगुणानां त्रयमिव

Meaning :

Oh, Darling of  Lord Shiva, those three eyes of yours are in three colours (of white, red and black), due to the collyrium that you wear to enhance thine beauty; thus wearing the three qualities (Gunas) of  Satvam, Rajas and Tamas; so as to recreate the trinity of Druhina (Brahma), Hari (Vishnu) and Rudra (Shiva) after they become one with you during the final deluge.



Pooja Vidhi and Proposed Result

If one chants this verse 1000 times a day, for 45 days, offering pal payasam as prasadam; it is said that it would lead to appeasement of Devi.
