No description can enclose the city where Jagadamba has taken birth. Its splendour is not merely the accumulation of banners, gardens, palaces, and gems.
Material abundance and spiritual attainment grow there together. Riddhi, siddhi, prosperity, and joy do not diminish through use or settle into familiarity.
Each day they become new and increase, because the presence of the Mother turns blessing from a possession into a living current. The city continually awakens inside its own grace. Nothing sacred there grows stale through repetition; every familiar beauty returns with a first dawn's freshness.
At every dawn, Parvati's birthplace becomes more abundant than it was the night before.
Read the passage from the Manas
जगदंबा जहँ अवतरी सो पुरु बरनि कि जाइ। रिद्धि सिद्धि संपत्ति सुख नित नूतन अधिकाइ।।94।।
Can one describe the city where Jagadamba, the Mother of the Universe, has taken birth? Its riddhi, siddhi, wealth, and joy grow ever fresh, increasing day by day.
