Adi Shankara, after having extolled the beauty of Jagadamba’s eyes, now moves on to poetically describe Her cheeks in the fifty-ninth shloka of Soundaryalahari. The divine Mother’s cheeks reflect the brilliance of Her circular earrings - the earrings and their reflection together resemble the wheels of Manmatha’s chariot, describes Adi Shankara.
