Pallavi

Meenakshi thaaye  arul purivaye ,

Malayadwajan seye , Madurai vazzh maaye

 

Anupallavi

Vanorgal magizhnthidum , Vaiathor pugazhnthidum,

Vahanai manthanaye , Vamathil inainthanaye

 

Charanam

Mahishasuranin siram vizha  Seythaye ,

Marakatha meniyodu thavam purinthaye,

Makara yaazhil swara bhavam kandaye ,

Mathi mukhamum ser vizhiyum kondaye.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

Mother Meenakshi shower your grace ,

Daughter of Malayadwaja , Oh Goddess of Madurai

 

Anupallavi

You married the god praised by devas ,

Who makes  the devas happy,

And merged  in to  his left side

 

Charanam

You cut and fell the head of Mahishasura,

You did penance with the emerald body of yours,

You sang and found musical notes in Makara Veena,

You had a face like moon and  fish like eyes.
