Meaning:

Oh Devi Seated On The Left Of Lord Shiva
Who Has Bluish Neck Due To The Poison He Drank
May I Beseech Thee To Grant Me
A Little Place Near Thy Divine Lotus Feet?

Mother NIlAyadAkshi, Thou Art My Creator
And Therefore, Do I Not Belong To Thee?
When I Belong To Thee,
Is It Not Thy Duty To Protect Me?

Being My Protector, I Seek Asylum And Surrender
At Thy Divine Lotus Feet
When I Surrender So, Pray Assure Me “Fear Not”
Pray Bless By Granting Thy Holy Divine Sight
Mother NIlAyadAkshi, The Deity Of Holy KailAsh
