Oh goddess you are my only support,
Oh Goddess with fish like eye living in Madhurai of the south.

Anupallavi
Oh mother who is prettiest of the universe,
who has stolen the heart of Lord Sundaresa.

Charanam

Oh result of great penance of Malaya Dwaja Pandya,
Daughter of Kanchana mala , Oh great queen,
Oh Goddess who is respected by Goddesses Saraswathi and Lakshmi
Oh Goddess who supported the growth of nectar like three branches of Tamizh*
