English translation

Pallavi

Oh man, sing the praises of Kamalmbha
And forsake the imaginary illusion.

Anupallavi

She who is surrounded by Lakshmi and Parvathi,
Whose neck winds in beauty the conch shell,
Who resides in the city of lotus , who talks softly,
Who grants us very pretty boons,
And who has a pretty lotus like face.

Charanam

The Goddess of the wheel of “fulfillment of all wishes”,
The sweet heart of Lord Shiva, She who is being worshipped by Durvasa,
Employing secret rites , she who destroys sorrow, she who rides the swan,
She who gives real pleasure of forsaking every thing ,
She who does good always , she who is the daughter of Sage Kathyayana,
She who is consort of Shiva , she whose braid beats in prettiness the bees,
She who is the mother of Guru Guha, She who is without any blemishes,
She who destroyed the proud Bhandasura ,
She who entertains goddesses like “the attractor of love”,
She whose form is the unqualified divinity,
And she who is the embodiment of all principles of earth.
