English Translation
Pallavi
1. Oh Karpagavalli I have caught your golden feet,
Oh God mother, grant me salvation.
2. Oh goddess who is in the tall pretty temple of Mylapore,
Which has lot of sculptures and is appreciated by very many people.
Charanam
1. If you forget this little one at this time
To whom shall I approach in his world, mother?
Why this silence mother to show your grace to this poor one, Oh Ananda Bhairavi, please support and shower your grace on me.
2. Oh Goddess, who rules extremely well,
By giving joyous life to everybody,
Oh Goddess who does good everyday, Oh happy one to whom Lord Shiva loves, Oh Uma, I believe in you mother.
3. You are the goddess of serpents, please save me who believes in you,
You are the goddess of words, Oh enchantress, this is the time, Oh mother Bagesawari, Oh Parvathi, You are the goddess of this world; you are my only help in this world.
4. Oh mother who puts black collyrium, Oh young women,
To whom our Lord talks loving words, Oh mother, I have come and surrendered to you, Oh Ranjani, I am your son, Oh mother, I beg to protect me.
