English translation

Pallavi

Oh beauty of the three worlds, I am lucky,
To have seen your pretty form

Anupallavi

Oh goddess with a slow pretty walk,
This luck of mine is due to your side long glance,
Or it may be due to the worships I did earlier.

Charanam

1.While the wise Brahma and others hearing about your beauty,
When you are in the temple of Thiruvothiyur , gathered together in the sky,
Getting worried whether they will get to see you on this Friday,
You have decided to remove the problems of the oppressed.

2.I would describe you as the saviour of the oppressed in this kali age,
Oh very simple ocean of mercy, who is there comparable to you,
And I who am tired have come here with hopes of happiness,
While the deva maidens with laughter are serving you in turns.

3.My dear mother , my birth has found the right meaning today,
When there is the feast to my eyes similar to getting of wealth for the very poor,
Oh Goddess with lotus like eyes, who grants good things, similar to giving water to dried crops,
Oh Goddess who is the sister of Rama who produces love,
Oh pretty one of Thyagaraja, Oh Gowri, Oh beauty of the three worlds.
