Meaning:
In this 34th verse, Śrī Lalitā appears as:
The life-giving power who revives Kāmadeva after he was reduced to ashes by Śiva’s third-eye fire. Her lotus-face embodies the Vāgbhava-kūṭa—the speech/knowledge aspect of the Śrī Vidyā Mantra—making Her the very source of divine wisdom, sweetness, and expression.
Here, Lalitā is both the restorer of life and love and the embodiment of sacred knowledge, showing that creation, preservation, and enlightenment all arise through Her grace.
Meditation:
This verse teaches us that the Divine Mother not only destroys but also restores and transforms. The revival of Kāma symbolizes the return of love and desire—but now sanctified, made divine, directed toward higher consciousness rather than worldly bondage.
Her face as the Vāgbhava-kūṭa reminds us that divine speech and wisdom flow from Her. Meditating on this verse invites us to let our words, desires, and actions be refined by Her grace—so that what was once impulsive or destructive within us can be reborn as love, creativity, and spiritual aspiration.
