निद्रा त्वं सर्वभूतेषु क्षुधा तृप्तिस्त्वमेव हि । तृष्णा कान्तिश्छविस्तुष्टिस्सर्वानन्दकरी सदा

ഹേ ദേവീ, സർവ്വഭൂതങ്ങളിലും നീ തന്നെയാണ് നിദ്ര; നീ തന്നെയാണ് ക്ഷുധയും തൃപ്തിയും. നീ തന്നെയാണ് തൃഷ്ണ, കാന്തി, ഛവി, സന്തോഷം—സദാ എല്ലാവർക്കും ആനന്ദം നൽകുന്നവൾ.

FAQs
This verse teaches divine immanence: the Goddess (Shakti) pervades ordinary embodied experiences—sleep, hunger, thirst, radiance, and contentment—so the seeker learns to recognize the sacred presence within daily life, not only in temples or visions.
Linga-worship centers on Shiva as the supreme Pati, while this verse highlights Shakti as His inseparable power operating within all beings. In Saguna worship, devotees honor Shiva with Parvati as the living, experiential force through which grace and inner transformation are felt.
A practical takeaway is dhyāna during japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya): contemplate that every sensation—fatigue, desire, satisfaction, and calm—is permeated by Shiva-Shakti, cultivating vairāgya and steady devotion; optionally accompany with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and Rudrākṣa as Shaiva reminders of inner purity and restraint.
