Meaning
Refrain:
You respectfully place the prasadam of the Mother on your head. Be blessed with perennial prosperity.

Stanza 1:
It (the prasadam) has been offered to the feet of Sri Lalita. It has been touched by the pious hand. It has been decorated brightly around Her neck. The prasadam has been associated with Lalita Devi’s spiritual brilliance.

Stanza 2:
It (the prasadam of Laliti Devi) is cherished by the Trinity – Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (The Creator, the Protector and the Annihilator). The prasadam energises and empowers all the celestials and their chieftains. It can be obtained only by great merit (punya). The pure prasadam of Lalita Devi is brilliant due to the brilliance of Sat-Cit-Ananda (Truth-Knowledge-Bliss).
