அவளுடைய முழங்கால்கள், நன்கு அமைந்த கணுக்கால்கள், மங்களமான குதிகால்-மேற்பகுதி (கால்தசை)—முடியற்றவை—ஒளிர்கின்றன; அவளுடைய பாதங்கள் சிவப்பு லாக் நிறத்துக்கு ஒப்பான ஒளியுடன் திகழ்கின்றன.

Auspiciousness is communicated through culturally recognized signs (radiant, well-formed limbs; red-colored feet), implying that dharma and prosperity are meant to be ‘visible’ in conduct and ritual order, not merely abstract.
Like the surrounding verses, it is stuti/varṇana within narrative rather than a pañcalakṣaṇa core segment; it supports devotional mood (bhakti-rasa) and theological framing.
The red-lac brilliance of the feet evokes śakti, auspicious marriage/prosperity symbolism, and the notion that the Goddess’s ‘feet’ are a locus of refuge (śaraṇāgati), a common devotional motif even when not explicitly stated.
