ദുര്ഗാചരണസ്മരണമ് (ദേവീ കേ ശ്രീ ചരണോം കാ സ്മരണ)

Ten verses that keep to one subject throughout, the dust of the Goddess's feet, and press the claim rather than merely state it. The first two are built almost entirely on syllables in bha. The waters born of those feet purify the lords of the worlds and dissolve the darkness of the wise; the moon follows the light of her toenails across the sky; the lotus of her foot opens not to the sun but at the touch of Shambhu's eye. The ninth verse carries it furthest — Shiva's matted hair was not made pure by the river of the gods washing through it, but by the pollen of Uma's feet. The last strings five verbs in the first person plural together and names her Uma, Gauri, Durga, Shiva, Amba and Bhavani in a single line.
