Meaning:- Let us meditate on the Divine Mother Kalyāṇa Mātaṅgī , who is adorning a blue skirt, has a well-rounded appearance and adorned with ear rings made of the tālī palm tree leaves (Corypha Taliera). She is playing the musical lute called Vīṇā in Her hands and is the consort of Śiva, the enemy of cupid Manmatha (amorous love).

She is the holder of the musical instrument Vīṇā. This lute type instrument has 24 frets representing the syllables of the Gāyatrī mantra. There are four melody strings that represent the holy Vedas. Also, there are three drone strings on the side, that signify the three nāḍīs or spiritual channels in the body that facilitate the rise of the Kuṇḍalini. They are the central channel Suṣumnā, the right channel Piṅgalā and the left Iḍā. The stem of the Vīṇā itself represents the spine along which the Kuṇḍalini flows. The music from the Vīṇā signifies all the frequencies and wavelengths of the entire Creation. Her spiritually intoxicated state, is the highest spiritual state of super-consciousness. Her dark complexion or dress can be compared with the vast and infinite empty space and the state of pure consciousness alone. Mātaṅgi also represents the deep spiritually intoxicated state.
