Devi's Dialogue with the Messenger

स्त्रीरत्नमतिचार्वङ्गी द्योतयन्ती दिशस्त्विषा । सा तु तिष्ठति दैत्येन्द्र तां भवान् द्रष्टुमर्हति ॥ ९२ ॥

strīratnamatichārvaṅgī dyotayantī diśhastviṣhā sā tu tiṣhṭhati daityendra tāṁ bhavān draṣhṭumarhati

Translation

A jewel among women, with lovely limbs, lighting up the directions with her radiance, she is there now, lord of the daityas; you should see her.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

स्त्रियों में रत्न, अत्यंत सुंदर अंगों वाली, अपनी कांति से दिशाओं को प्रकाशित करती हुई वह अभी वहीं है, दैत्यराज! आप उसे देखें।

Commentary

Striratna, "jewel among women": the word ratna sets up the next verses, which list the jewels Shumbha has already seized.
