Notes:

The song is in tritIyA vibhakti, instrumental case. The basic sentence word order (anvaya) is ahaM shrIkamalAMbikayA katAkshitaH saccidAnandaparipUrNabrahmA asmi (I, protected by Shri Kamalambika, am the Supreme Brahman, characterized by the fullness of existence, consciousness and bliss). All the phrases ending in the syllable “yA” qualify the noun “kamalAmbikayA”.

The third cakra, sarvasaMkShobhaNa cakra, consists of a circular arrangement of eight-petals (aShTadaLA). The eight sakti-s referred to as anaN^gakusuma etc are: anaN^gakusuma, anaN^gamekhalA, anaN^gamadanA, anaN^gamadanAturA, anaN^garekhA, anaN^gaveginI, anaN^gAMshukA and anaN^gamAlinI. These sakti-s are described as guptatara yogini-s. There is a partial rAgamudra in the phrase “shaN^karanAyikayA”.
