ప్రణతులకు ప్రియమైన జగతికా ఎలా క్షణంలో సిద్ధిని ప్రసాదిస్తుందో, అలాగే హే దేవీ, నీవు కూడా (అనుగ్రహించు). శశిశేఖరుడు శివుడు జగతికాకు నమస్కరించదలచినట్లే, లోకధారక మునులు కూడా నీకు నమస్కరించదలచుతున్నారు।
Uncertain (context not provided; verse is in the style of a stuti/praise addressed to a देवी, with reference to Śiva).
Concept: Grace grants siddhi swiftly to those who bow; the highest beings themselves yearn to offer reverence—devotion is a universal currency.
Application: Do not delay reverence and gratitude; consistent bowing (inner humility) invites clarity and ‘siddhi’—completion of duties without inner friction.

FAQs
Jagatikā is used as a devotional epithet meaning “She who pertains to the world” or “Mother of the world,” praised here as a goddess who is beloved of those who bow to her and who grants siddhi quickly.
Śiśekhara (“the moon-crested one”) is a common epithet of Śiva, referring to the crescent moon he bears; the verse uses him as an exemplar of reverent devotion—one who desires to bow to the goddess.
It emphasizes bhakti expressed through praṇāma (reverential bowing) and the belief that sincere devotion to the divine feminine brings swift spiritual or worldly accomplishment (siddhi).
