devi jagajjanani - continued

jyotirmayanavahārāyitasajjyotiṣatantravibhūṣite

Re-ordered word-by-word meaning

jyotirmaya navahārāyita - (Oh Mother) luminous, with a garland of nine gems(=planets) 
sajjyotiṣa tantra vibhūṣite - representing the sacred science of Astrology that youre adorned with,
mātarmedura mīmāmsāgama māmsilita ūruyugāñcite - your thighs are fleshed out symbolically with the knowledge of Mimamsa and Agama scripture,
cetoharatara ṣabdāgama kāñcīlatikā guṇa ṣobhite - very bewitching waistband of yours intuits the sacred chants of Vedas,
pātakahara padmādipurāṇa pādita pāṇi virājite - your palms ( showing grace) deliver the evil-destroying Puranas like Padma Purana and more,
vītaṣamalahṛdye - by Your grace is removed one's uncleanliness,
kalitavidye - You are worshipped by all sacred learning,
trijagadādye - You are revered in all the three worlds,
niravadye - You are totally blemishless!


And so it continues, a test of one's Samskrita knowledge and ability to deliver tongue-twisting lyrics of Swati Tirunal!...
