English translation

 

1. I searched and surrendered to you, Oh Muthu Mari,

Please remove all blemishes and give all boons that I ask.

 

2. I sang and then surrendered to you, remove all attachments,

Please do billions of good things and fulfill all my wants.

 

3. A sinner would be always drowned  in worries,

I would do all service that I like and live in your grace,

 

4. All the time if I would sing Tamil poems  calling you Shakthi,

And praise you with devotion, all fears  would  get over.

 

5. The sacred Vedas say that Shakthi is the basis of all,

We would do some work  for all works  belong to her.

 

6.We  would forget the saying that It is natural to be sad,

And would request for pleasure  and she will give every thing

 

7.Those who believe never loose is the Judgment of four Vedas,

And if you surrender to the mother we can get more boons.
