Verse 12 of 13

Verse 11 of Jai Ambe Gauri

Kanchan Thaal Virajat, Agar Kapur Baati कंचन थाल विराजत, अगर कपूर बाती।

Shri Malketu Mein Rajat, Koti Ratan Jyoti श्रीमालकेतु में राजत, कोटि रतन ज्योति॥

Meaning

A golden plate is set before you with agarwood, camphor and lamp wicks. In Shri Malketu the flame shines with the light of millions of jewels.

Why this verse matters

Traditions read 'Shri Malketu' differently: as a sacred place of the Goddess, or as a banner above the aarti. We keep the name as it is sung.
