सहधर्मं विदधतीमिव बाणान्तकानिणीम्।

वार्धौ स्निग्धामिमां रम्यां कन्यां मन्यामहॆ रमाम्॥३३॥

SUMMARY: We think that this Virgin, who has destroyed Banasura (who has made the tip of the arrow of Parashurama), who is very friendly with the King of Oceans, who is very beautiful, is none other than Rama Devi or Goddess Lakshmi, who appears to be following the cultural ethos that Lord Narayana is following.

In this stanza, Sri Vadirajaru seems to disagree with the common perception that Kanyakumari is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati Devi.

SUMMARY: Oh Virgin! You are the most revered of the pious; you are indeed Sri Lakshmi, the mother of Manmatha, the Love God; if not, how this extraordinary charm and beauty would have come to your body.
