Pallavi

 

Unadu adiye gathi endru adainthen thaye,

Unmai nee ariyayo, ulaga nayakiye

 

Anupallavi

 

Ponnayum pugazhayum poovayaraym thedi ,

Chiinna thanam adaithu nithamum miga vadi

 

Charanam

 

Munname unnidam cholli vaithene,

Yenna vandalum nin ponnadi maraven,

Pannaga bhooshanan parivudan maruvm,

Minnal kodiyale, innalgal theerppaye.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

 

I reached you thinking that your feet is my only support, Mother

Don’t you know this truth, Oh Goddess of the whole world.

 

Anupallavi

 

Searching for gold , fame and maidens,

When I became of small stature and wilted.

 

Charanam

 

Did I not tell you earlier that,

That come what may ,I would never forget your golden feet,

Oh goddess who is caressed by the God who wears the snake with love,

Oh Goddess who is like a streak of lightning , please remove my sufferings.
