Soundarya Lahari - Shloka 71 - For command over fairies

Sanskrit Text :

नखानामुद्योतैर्नवनलिनरागं विहसतां
कराणां ते कान्तिं कथय कथयामः कथमुमे ।
कयाचिद्वा साम्यं भजतु कलया हन्त कमलं
यदि क्रीडल्लक्ष्मी चरणतल लाक्षारसछणम्


Transliteration :

nakhAnAm udyOtai navanalina rAgam vihasatAm
karANAm tE kAntim kathaya kathayAmah katham umE
kayAchid va sAmyam bhajatu kalayA hanta kamalam
yadi krIdallakshmI caraNatala lAksha rasa chaNam

Meaning :

Oh Goddess Uma, only you could tell us, how shall we characterize the splendour of your hands, with the lustre of their fingernails, which tease the redness of freshly blossomed lotus? Perhaps if the lotus petals turn red by coming in contact with the red lac-dye adorning the soles of Lakshmi which play upon it, then  resemblance, to some extent, could be possible, though unlikely.

Pooja Vidhi and Proposed Result

If one chants this verse 12000 times a day, for 90 days, offering honey as prasadam; it is said that one would gain command over fairies.

Tamil Interpretation

அபயாம்பிகே அகிலாம்பிகே

அபய ஜோதி அருள் நக காந்தி
புஷ்ப பங்கஜத்தை பரிகசிக்கும் காந்தி

பத்மாசனி பாத மருதாணி ரசத்தால்
செந்தாமரை மலர் சிவந்திடுமானால்
அதி விசால ஹஸ்த சௌந்தர்யத்தின்
பதினாரினிலொரு பாகம் அடைந்திடும்
