कामो योनिः कामकला व्रजपाणिर्गुहा हसा मातरिश्वाभ्रमिन्द्रः । पुनर्गुहा सकला मायया च पूरूच्येषा विश्वमातादिविद्या ॥८॥
कामः । योनिः । काम-कला । व्रज-पाणिः । गुहा । हसा । मातरिश्वा । अभ्रम् । इन्द्रः । पुनः । गुहा । सकला । मायया । च । पूरूची । एषा । विश्व-माता । आदि-विद्या ॥८॥
kāmo yoniḥ kāmakalā vrajapāṇir guhā hasā mātariśvābhram indraḥ | punar guhā sakalā māyayā ca pūrūcyeṣā viśvamātādividyā ||8||
इच्छा ही सबका मेन सोर्स है। कामकला भी यही है। वज्र हाथ वाली, गुफा, हंसना, यह सब उसके रूप हैं। इंद्र और बादल भी उसमें हैं। फिर गुफा, पूरा जगत और माया, यह सब भी उसमें हैं। यह सब दुनिया की माँ है, सबसे पुरानी ज्ञान।
Desire is the womb (source); Kāmakalā; the one with the thunderbolt in hand; the cave; laughter; Mātariśvan; the cloud; Indra. Again: the cave; the whole (sakalā); and by māyā; Pūrūcī—this is the World-Mother, the primordial knowledge.
- kāmo yoniḥ (visarga before y)
- vrajapāṇir guhā = vrajapāṇiḥ + guhā (visarga → r before voiced consonant)
- mātariśvābhram = mātariśvā + abhram (ā + a → ā)
- punar guhā (no change)
- pūrūcyeṣā = pūrūcyā + eṣā (ā + e → e)
- viśvamātādिविदyā = viśvamātā + ādi + vidyā (ā + ā → ā)
