20. Tārākānti-tiraskāri-nāsabharaṇa-bhāsurā ताराकान्ति-तिरस्कारि-नासभरण-भासुरा 
She is wearing a nose stud that outshines the stars. Her nose stud is made up of rubies and pearls. Tārā means stars. Tārā also means two goddesses Maṅgalā and Śuklā. Śuklā has later come to be known as Śukrā. Possibly these Maṅgalā and Śukrā could mean the two planets Mars and Venus.  Each planet governs certain precious stones. Planet Mars rules ruby that is red in color, and Venus rules diamond (Mani-Mālā II.79). It can also be said that these two planets adorn Her nose. This also indicates that worshipping Her wards off the evil effects of planets.

21. Kadamba-mañjarī-klpta-karṇapūra-manoharā कदम्ब-मञ्जरी-क्ल्प्त-कर्णपूर-मनोहरा 
She is wearing the petals of kadamba flowers in Her ears, or flowers kept in Her hair flow down to Her ears. These flowers are grown outside Her cintāmani-graha, the palace where She lives. These flowers have divine fragrance, which is derived from Her earlobes.

22. Tāṭaṅka-yugalī-bhūta-tapanoḍupa-maṇḍalā ताटङ्क-युगली-भूत-तपनोडुप-मण्डला 
She is wearing sun and moon as Her earrings. This means She controls all the activities of the universe, as sun and moon are responsible for sustaining life. It is also said that sun and moon represent her eyes, earrings and bosoms. The bīja klīṁ (क्लीं) is symbolises Her two bosoms, which represent the two semicircles in klīṁ-bīja. The klīṁ-bīja is also known as kāma-bīja. Further details are to be learnt from a guru. Most of the nāmas of this Sahasranāma subtly convey various bījas, hence this Sahasranām is considered to be very powerful.

Saundarya-Laharī 28 says, “Brahma, Indra and other celestials perish, even though they have drunk nectar which confers immunity from frightful grey hairs (of old age) and death. If the longevity of Śiva is not limited by time despite His swallowing the terrific poison, it is because of the greatness of Your ear ornaments.”

23. Padmarāga-śilādharśa-paribhāvi-kapolabhūḥ पद्मराग-शिलाधर्श-परिभावि-कपोलभूः 
Her cheeks are shining, soft and reflecting. Padmarāga is a type of ruby, red in color. Ruby is of four types: vipra, kuruvinda, saugandhika and mansa-khanda, out of which vipra is superior. Wearing afflicted rubies causes irreparable damage in one’s life. Her cheeks reflect red color, as Her complexion itself is red. The other ornaments that have been described above are also red in color. The sun and the moon in Her earlobes make Her cheeks shine red. Everything associated with Her is red. As discussed earlier, red indicates compassion.

Saundarya-Laharī 59 says, “Your face is Cupid’s four-wheeled chariot, having the pair of your ear ornaments reflected in the expanse of your cheeks. Cupid, the mighty warrior sitting on it, plots revengefully against Lord Śiva, resting on the chariot of the Earth having the Sun and Moon for its wheels.”
24. Navavidruma-bimbaśrī-nyakkāri-radanacchadā नवविद्रुम-बिम्बश्री-न्यक्कारि-रदनच्छदा 
Her lips outshine fresh coral and the bimba fruit (momordica monadelpha). Bimba fruit is normally compared to beautiful lips. Both are red in color.
